At least if you look at both their lives, deeds, and the things they said and did. So while you have plenty of crazy people of all stripes in Christianity and Islam...its a lot easier to point out the inconsistencies in someone who can't follow Jesus's teachings as opposed to Mohammad, who is a more mixed role model.
Muslims needs to acknowledge this and push back against Wahabism collectively. Just like so many Christians outed Catholicism after decades of child abuse brushed under the rug. Otherwise things will play into the Trump narrative with ease.

You're confusing God's profit Muhammad (born 570 CE), and Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab (born 1703), the founder of the Wahabism movement.
