The guy amassed a $2 billion personal fortune while in office, was a strident anti-Semite, stole countless small businesses, farms, plants from his enemies and turned them over to allies, shut down countless media, imprisoned and tortured opponents, and window-dressed his assistance to Venezuela's poor.
