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.

I agree with you. I don’t see how all these lefties and Gullibles think he is fascist! They just keep repeating it but it makes no sense.
I am a moderate GOP Rino, hear me side with political predators pointing fingers at fascit Trump voters with Antifa...
Aside from antifa types, who is more unhinged and predatorial than Bush Rinos? These people own the evil rhetoric aiming to ban speech.
including the independence of the FBI
What a total idiot.
He should be in a mental institution.
“I served under Pres. Bush: I left the GOP to vote Dem. Trump is a fascist, a danger to our republic”
Your Mussolini quotes are EXACTLY what the foaming left claims to want right now! Social justice for all, run by a Powerful Elite State! Which Mussolini proudly defined as his beloved fascism!
1. Trump is not doing that
And
2. Leftists are all about that!
So, really, they should be whining about how he’s not fascist enough and he’s ruining their attempts to control the people for their own good.
It’s like the bully who finally picks on the wrong guy and gets his ass kicked then whines and cries like a baby.
ie, Trump isn’t a Neocon.
They call them "Nuremberg-like" because large numbers of people actually attend them.
“Islam means peace.” :-)
Looks like he prefaces every article he writes with “I’m a Republican who served under Pres. Bush”:
This one from Feb: https://www.nj.com/opinion/index.ssf/2018/02/im_a_republican_who_served_under_bush_and_whitman_lets_ban_ar-15s_opinion.html
It’s as if he thinks he thinks he’ll be taken more seriously if everyone knows he’s a Bushie. lol..what a deluded yutz.
Loser. Hope he’ll have to live on his social security as many Trump supporters do.
So what?
I am a registered Democrat. I voted for Trump in 2016 will vote for him again in 2020.
Unlike you, dear author, I vote for winners.
Its amazing how anti-Trump and anti USA Bush folks are. I’m being to think Bush allowed 9-11 to go down. These people are cretins.
That family has caused massive amount of damage to this country and its citizens.
Even simpler for the Marxist leaders. It’s anyone not down with the struggle. They are masters of division, don’t undersell their love of chaos.
With a name like Steinberg he’d be lucky if one of the Clintons would have seen him worthy of sticking a cigar into.
honestly, I can’t take anyone screaming “fascist” about Trump even remotely seriously.
“What does ‘social justice’ mean? It means work guaranteed, fair wages, decent homes; it means the possibility of continuous evolution and improvement. Nor is this enough. It means that the workers must enter more and more intimately into the productive process and share its necessary discipline… As the past century was the century of capitalist power, the twentieth century is the century of power and glory of labor.” — 1935”
Wow...thanks for those quotes.[Arbeit macht frei—work sets you free]
The left are the same here, the world over, and throughout history—Nasty, unstable, power hungry, tyrannical MFers
Typical. New Jersey.
