As we approach the midterm elections, the Nuremberg-like atmosphere of Donald Trump rallies plus his flagrant abuses of power terrify his critics. They raise the question: Is Donald Trump a fascist?
There are two matters of fact regarding Donald Trump that are irrefutable. The first is that he is not a conservative but is, in fact, the direct adversary of all the core beliefs of Ronald Reagan. The second is that in terms of his politics, that is to say, his methods of obtaining and maintaining power, Trump has been a practitioner of both fascistic strategy and tactics.
Ronald Reagan was a follower of Edmund Burke, who deemed the preservation and respect for institutions as essential for the preservation of orderly democratic government. Trump, the anti-Ronald Reagan is on a mission to destroy our leading institutions, including the independence of the FBI and the Justice Department and the very existence of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Reagan was a follower of Adam Smith, who believed in free markets and free trade. Donald Trump is a foe of free trade, an advocate of tariffs and a leader of trade wars.

A Bush guy who doen’t like Trump? Whoa, stop the presses!
Another fake conservative.
Americans voted against the Rodhamites, the Busheviks and the Obammunists in 2016.
Donald J. Trump is a great U.S. President. At times, I feel like nominating him for sainthood.
They just out themselves like this. All these Never Trumpers just want to keep themselves available for a job possibility in case the Establishment gets back in power.
I was WAITING for the “he’s NOTHING like Ronald Reagan” meme to hit the air/wire/internet waves :)
Ronald Reagan is great when they want to make a republican they don’t like look bad.
The Pope is great when he goes against fundamental teachings of the church.
Putin is great/bad/great/bad/great/bad depending on what the dems need him to be at the moment, and it changes so often I can’t keep up anymore.
Public service should NOT mean the public is supposed to serve you.
A job possibility is more important than country to these people.
$10 Steinberg is a marxist.
“Fascist” requires extreme, centralized, governmental control.
The Nazis used a hybrid form of socialism and crony capitalism. Italians were more state/crony control.
But it could be any form of government with state control: communism, socialism, even a monarchy.
Trump, love him or hate him, has weakened the Federal government. That could be bad if you don’t like it. (I think it’s great.)
But whatever it is, it’s not fascism.
Facism is a form of socialism. Mussolini, who coined the word “fascist” was a socialist. The leftists do not know the meaning of the word “fascist.” For the left “fascist” is another personal insult like “you fat jerk.”
Winning! Poor imbecilic thing wouldn’t know a fascist if Mussolini rose from the grave and asked him to stick his hand in his wounds.
Memo To Alan Steinberg:

WOW!!!
This guy is so far off base I don’t know where to begin. President Trump is none of those attributes he describes. Much of that to which he alludes looks like Obama. This guy is really messed up.
Jokes on you, Alan.
Trump isn’t even on the ballot.
But thanks for the weepy tome.
“Nuremberg-like atmosphere”
Clever way of calling Trump a nazi.
Trump is out to destroy the “independence “ of the FBI and DOJ? Is this guy trying to do stand up comedy?or living under a rock?
Does anyone know how people justify calling Trump “facist?”
