The famous King Midas (/ˈmaɪdəs/; Greek: Μίδας) in Greek mythology turned everything he touched into gold. His touch was called the Midas Touch.

There is another kind of magical touch which does the opposite, when everything that is touched, turns to crap. This is called the Sadim Touch or Reverse-Midas Touch. Both King Midas and King Sadim are fictional characters used to construct metaphors representing real entities; human or institutional.

Legends
There are legends and examples of people with the Sadim Touch. One clear recent example of a human with the Sadim Touch is United States President Donald Trump. He had four bankruptcies, created civil war in the Republican party, caused 220,775 deaths due to Coronavirus as at 14 Oct 2020, and countless other destructive outcomes of Donald's touch. Though unwritten, many have considered renaming the Sadim Touch to the Donald Touch.
