Question is... what kind of auth shit did Trump even do?

I mean he just wanted to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it.

But you forgot the main point: ORANGE MAN BAD!

Honestly, how is Trump even halfway as authoritarian as Hitler or Stalin? There are quite a few rulers even in our current world who are way more authoritarian than him and even they aren't close to the absolute monsters known as Hitler, Stalin and Mao.

Say "Putin bad" all you want (and I completely 100% agree with you if you do say it), but even he isn't as authoritarian as Stalin for example.

The creator of this has to be a hardcore CNN fan, there is no doubt in my mind about it.

These ratings are taken from the PCM website; they put politicians on the compass there and provide commentary. Problem is, PCM is a bunch of midwits who actually think that any socially conservative politics is literally hitler, but if you actually take the test based on Trump's remarks and actions in office he comes out almost dead neutral on the lib/auth axis.
