Line 376:
** In the final weeks of his presidency, Trump was hailed as the worst president ever by commentators from all points on the political spectrum. Even fellow Republican politician and actor [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]] wasted no time to call Trump [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAWvl-g_6rg the worst] as well as a racist following the Capitol raid in January 2021. Arnie even drew parallels to the infamous ''Kristallnacht'' putsch where he compared the pro-Trump Proud Boys extremist group to the Nazis, something which hit too close to home for the Austrian (it should be noted that Arnold's father Gustav was a former Nazi Party member; Arnold attributed his father's abusive behaviour to the guilt he had over what Gustav and other Nazis and collaborators had perpetrated or enabled during the war.)
** C-Span, however, is slightly nicer to him, their [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ngsZuhZMM0 2021 Presidential Historians Survey] rating him second-to-last, beating [[William Henry Harrison]]. Even then, the reason [[Damned By Faint Praise|Harrison is usually considered the worst]] is because he died after only 30 days in office and thus had no accomplishments to speak of (thus he is omitted from many surveys).
* [[Wrong Genre Savvy]]: A common criticism of Trump is that he believes the President of the United States has absolute power and that laws do not apply to him. If nothing else, he has praised world leaders who are regarded as dictators, including Kim Jong-un, Vladimir Putin, and even Saddam Hussein. He also seems to believe that appointing a judge makes that judge obligated to rule in his favor, which the Supreme Court and the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals (usually regarded as staunchly conservative) have repeatedly shown him otherwise.
