    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.

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

    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
