Or how he can blithely upset with a phone call the absurdly delicate balance of our relations with China and Taiwan


China is not going to dictate who the president of the United States can talk to on the phone.

China used to be afraid of pissing us off.

And then Obama bowed to them.

Economically, a fascist is a person who advocates for government control of the private means of production. Sorry, I just don’t see that in Trump.

#fakenews

Fascists offer themselves as a remedy for aggressive individualism, which they believed was the source of the defeat of Germany in World War I, and the decline of Italy, the failure of Italy. World War I, the perceived national decline, they blamed on individualism and their solution was to subject the individual to the interests of the community.

Trump, and the Republicans generally, and indeed a great swath of American society have celebrated individualism to the absolute total extreme. Trump’s idea and the Republican plan is to lift the burden of regulation from businesses.

Another dirty New Republic hack. Anyone who isn’t communist is “fascist”.

There has NEVER been any "formal" CHINA RECOGNITION/China owning Taiwan, by the USA; NOT EVER!

This who thing is nuts, talked about and written about by uneducated, stupid, have their own agendas MORONS!

And calling Trump a Fascist, by libturds, only proves that they have no understanding of the meaning of that word/refuse to acknowledge the actual meaning of Fascism or Naziism, which though somewhat similar, are two distinctly different and separate things.

Somebody buy that boy a dictionary!

A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, a capitalist economy subject to stringent governmental controls, violent suppression of the opposition, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.

Michael Kinsley is a faggot.

When you call somebody a faggot, you can mean any number of things. Often, it means no more than “somebody I don’t like.”

It is an all-purpose epithet, usable by anyone against everyone from university deans to Fox News anchors. For that reason, the label should be used sparingly — saved for special occasions.

As with “Nazi” or “Hitler,” it is often said that in any discussion, the first person reduced to using such a word has lost the argument. It’s ridiculous to compare any living person to Hitler or Mussolini.

Washington Post . . .

The National Enquirer is more reputable and trustworthy.

I believe Donald will elude all manner of political classification, because he has a plan from heaven that is going to cut across all of this stuff... that will do a certain thing to benefit a certain area of concern, but then stop when it has been done enough. He’ll be called crony capitalist, fascist, and more. Pragmatist might be a more accurate thing to say.

But I bet more likely than not, “millions of workers” will love Donald Trump better than they have their unions, after a few years. A lot of Cassandras will have to eat their words.

People who do not understand what words mean should not try and use them. Fascism, the statist philosophy combining a romantic longing for a rebirth of the Roman Empire under a new Caesar named Mussolini with modern secret police and street thug Black Shirt violence, bears no relationship with anything Donald Trump espouses or represents. But like Racist, ****phobe, and Nazi it’s just a word the Ignorati spit out when nothing comes to their inadequate minds to refute someone else’s reasoned argument.
