“Progressive” is a better term than “socialist” for the concept that a gov’t of experts can solve all the world’s problems. “We just need the right experts and for them to be unfettered with power.”

Precisely. Trump's approach would seem kinda like our having Woodrow Wilson and Herbert Croly be reincarnated, only this time with orange hair.

A few years ago, Jonah Goldberg wrote a great book about the ideology of "rule by experts." The book was entitled, Liberal Fascism.

But since the Trumpsters usually don't read the articles around here, I guess I shouldn't bother recommending a book to them.
