Fascism -- Any program for setting up a centralized autocratic national regime with severely nationalistic policies, exercising regimentation of industry, commerce, and finance, rigid censorship, and forcible suppression of opposition. --Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary, 1958 edition.
Autocratic: The military "will do what I tell them," which could include killing the families of alleged terrorists.
Nationalistic: "America First."
Regimentation: Everyone should conform to his wishes, including judges, government officials and corporate executives as well as journalists.
Censorship: The news media "make me look very bad."
Forcible suppression of opposition: Protesters at campaign rallies "should be roughed up."
By definition and by his words and deeds, You-Know-Who meets the characteristics and features of a fascist.
