Zizek is pretty well-known for claiming that Gandhi was more violent than Hitler, because the former was more revolutionary and thus more harmful to the status quo than the latter.

In this instance, Gandhi is probably Trump and Hitler is probably Clinton. Even prior to the Presidency, Trump has already fucked up the status-quo by forcing the GOP to sacrifice some of its worst and most electorally hopeless principles/ideals for the sake of electoral success. This is a huge change - it wasn't that long ago, prior to Trump, that people were talking about the Republican party being a dead/defunct party, never mind the prospect of a Democrat-dominated White House/Congress in perpetuity.

Clinton, on the other hand, is the establishment candidate par excellence. This is well-known: one of Clinton's biggest 'selling points' is that she won't shake things up too much.

Zizek might also have concluded that Clinton is a much bigger liar/hypocrite than Trump. At least with Trump you know what you're getting: a bombastic populist.
