Max Hastings not calling Trump’s regime fascist - but not saying it isn’t either!

Wow.

Re: Trump and Fascism.

I suspect that 'Trumpism' may be used in the future as a term in its own right.

Rate these leaders from 1 to 10 with 1 being the worst.

Genghis Khan, Hitler, Leopold II, Mao, Mussolini, Pinochet, Pol Pot, Saddam Hussein, Stalin, Trump.

That is a desperate defence of your poster boy - but full marks for the most extreme case of Whataboutery ever attempted on this board. I’m almost impressed!

Pinochet was a big pal of Thatcher

So he's number 1 , by association

How come Thatcher and Boris Johnson aren't on the list?

I have pulled her out of the sea due to her friendship with Pinochet

She can have 5 minutes to dry her hair then I will throw her back in the drink

Wow.

“Thoughtful Americans use the f word even while we are still cautious about doing so” - not quite a direct statement confirming Trump is a Fascist, but just about as close as you can get to one without being 100 % about it.

You can just see the vote Trump posters can’t you - vote Trump, he might be a Fascist, but he’s not as much of one as Genghis Khan, Hitler, Leopold II et al
