As noted in the New York Times article, "Fascist comparisons are not new in American politics. A Google search of “Barack Obama and Nazi” or “George W. Bush and Nazi” produces many images of the last two presidents as swastika-waving fascists. But with Mr. Trump, such comparisons have gone beyond the fringe and entered mainstream conversation both in the United States and abroad." https://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/29/world/europe/rise-of-donald-trump-tracks-growing-debate-over-global-fascism.html?_r=0

Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign was characterized as that of a right-wing populist.[68][69]

However, there is not a clear consensus on the classification of Trump's political ideology. Others have characterized his campaign and policy actions variously as fascist, neo-fascist or reflecting fascist tendencies.[add cites]
