Facism and Trump/Bannon have very little in common. Trump/Bannon are Nationalists, they puts America first, with all of it's races, not one race. There is nothing wrong with that, that's Trump's style and a big reason why he won the

Hilarious, even effing Google is getting in on it by changing the actual definition of the word "facist".

Trump has been trying to back Business and EPA regulations off, that does not fit with a Facist style of government, in fact it is entirely the opposite.

Since Trump has become POTUS, he has not been trying to shut down the opposition with physical force, we might all soon lose our Freedom of Speech, but it would be because his hand is being forced by all of these idiots that are still rioting over everything and are falling for the mis-leading lines of BS they read on the MSM. If you think he's been shutting down people's right to protest, then show men where he acted against a Peaceful protest, not one that got out of hand and caused harm to people/property by the protesters.

Mike, I think you may be selective in your anger at dis-information. Or is that you believe Trump does not misinform but the MSM (which hardly speaks with one voice) does?

Your comments about business and regulation are intreiguing. I would like to know where you get your information about "fascist-style" governments? What is the "actual" definition and who decided it?

Hitler, a NATIONALIST who put GERMANS FIRST OVER IMMIGRANTS and was ALL ABOUT SECURING GERMANY'S BODERS, is of course very different from Trump, who PUTS 'MERICANS FIRST OVER IMMIGRANTS CUZ IT'S ALL ABOUT SECURING 'MERICA'S BORDERS. Trump is American. Hitler was German.

It is kind of silly to compare Trump in his first month of office to the body of nasty work Hitler developed over the years after his election/appointment as dictator. Also, the U.S. has more checks and balances than the Weimar government. It would take an EXTREME crisis on the order of a nuke in NY or LA to shut down those checks. And it's not clear the nation would prefer the unstable Trump in such a case.  Hitler so much more focused.

We can, however, compare their rhetoric and policy priorities at this stage--and the kind of advisors and supporters with which they surrounded themselves, as well as which they distanced themselves from. And we may even be able to compare the supporters attracted to each.
