Fascism - Wikipedia
Fascism (
/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of radical,
right-wing,
authoritarian ultranationalism,
[1][2][3][4] characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and of the economy,
[5] which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.
[6] The first fascist movements
emerged in Italy during
World War I before
it spread to other European countries.
[6] Opposed to
liberalism,
Marxism, and
anarchism, fascism is placed on the
far-right within the traditional
left–right spectrum.

So...................as you can see.................fascists are far right types. And, Trump fits the definition quite nicely.
