Is Trump A Fascist? Ergo Is That America's Current Fate?

[flobadob]

Trump seems to be a person who goes after anyone who disparages him and as have seen he has no worries doing this publicly by actions such as removing the privileges of former FBI leaders.
Also, he has brought forth the idea of 'Fake News', however if anything he is the biggest propagator of that trend by insinuating half truths as gospel.
How has society come to this? It's so terrible.

He admires strong men and seeks to emulate them, that much is clear. Whether that makes him a fascist? I am not quite sure I'd go that far...

Fake news and biased reporting.

For "privileges" read security clearance. Which they then abuse to secure positions with organisations that lobby and agitate against the democratic process but for the Democratic liberal elite.

What I don't understand is why the American people tolerate a man who lies so much. He blatantly lies all the time, and a lot of these are senseless lies. I do agree with a lot of what his government has achieved and is achieving, but the man himself has no moral authority whatsoever. It's sad that a great country like the USA are being led by a liar. I know they've had lying Presidents in the past, but surely basic integrity still means something? Should we just focus on what his administration is actually doing, and turn a blind eye to the constant stream of lies? I feel very uncomfortable about it.

Haha! Seeks to emulate who exactly? He is strong.... and no, he is not a fascist.

^That from Gromit. What a wag. :o)

Past Presidents’ output was highly managed and vetted by the party and lawyers. A Presidental pronouncement had to be provably true and accurate.
Trump Tweets on the fly and seemingly without any overseeing by others. As a result he often rants, lies and makes errors. Many people have ended their careers by inappropriate Tweeting, and I think some of Trumps ramblings will catch up with him. His Tweeting demeans the office of President.

That was from flobadob, not me.

Gromit, I owe you an apology. My post at 10:42 referred to you. It wasn't you - it was flobadob. Sorry.

Gromit, cross-posted.
