Which of the characteristics do you not think Trump embodies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism

> characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy,

Well none of those, so why don’t you explain which ones since they are so obvious to you.

Militarism and ‘strong regimentation of society’ are two that very obviously don’t apply to Trumpian politics. Trump was an isolationist militarily in his first term - an expansionist nationalist military is a sine qua non of fascism.

And Trump’s fetish for deregulation works against the second one.
