According to Mussolini - who was the OG fascist who defined the term - every US government since at least a couple of decades is fascist. Trump is just the latest leader of the fascist US government.

Is Trump a fascist? There is nothing close to an agreed definition of "fascist."

Trump is a misogynist, a sexist, a racist, a bigot, and a a liar to name a few terms that have well agreed definitions. Adding "fascist" to that list when Dick Cheney is touted as a patriot by and ally of the Democrats in 2024 is not going to move anyone new towards skepticism of Trump.
