The author correctly notes that Trump is not a Fascist or a proponent of fascism because he is not an expansionist like Mussolini and Hitler and unlike those two, Trump has no imperialistic ambitions. But in claiming Trump is like Napoleon, the author is ignoring that Napoleon was also an imperialist.

being a nationalist never threatened anyone, one only has to look at Fascist Spain run under Gen. Franco.

I think this has more to do with tactics than with political ideology. Take imperialism out of the equation, Trump is pretty close to Napoleon in terms of tactics (even tho Trump doesn't have any military experience; he did attend a military school), He picked up some of that military education. some tactics translate well into politics and business strategy.

To paraphrase some of the article, the Author states that people who call President Trump a NAZI or a Fascist are too damned stupid to realize how assinine that assumption is.

The shame is many of these people are college educated. That doesn't bode well for our institutes of higher learning.
