Demagogue =/= fascism. Fascism requires a degree of government control of society that Americans will not tolerate. I doubt Trump even believes the stuff the spews.
The best historical analogue to Trump is George Wallace, another American demagogue who didn't really believe the things he said, but saw an opportunity to gain power by telling lies to people he thought were fools.
