It's terrible, of course. I expected him to be about as bad as he is, but somewhat more competent and better able to accomplish his terrible goals. He is not competent and doesn't listen to his own people, so he has accomplished fewer bad things than I expected. I also expected another unnecessary war, a la Bush. It could still happen, but hasn't yet.
