For example...
Even America's greatest president, Ronald Reagan, lost five House seats and eight Senate seats in his sixth year in office.
The sentence above assumes Ronald Regan is America's greatest president as though its a matter of fact and not a debatable point. I know there is a specific name for this type of fallacy. What is it?

Assumptive stupidity comes to mind. Assuming the person you are debating with is naive.
