The definition of fascism is actually quite loose and has been debated for decades.
Trump was democratically elected but has on many occasions made reference to taking a third term, favouring birth right transitions, and has literally said "day 1 dictator" and acted that out with the executive orders he's signed.
And he checkes the other boxes, at least as much as he can in this century.
Ideology: Intense nationalism, often incorporating racism or xenophobia, alongside a belief in natural social hierarchy.
Government: Centralized, autocratic, and dictatorial leadership, often with a "cult of personality" around a leader who claims to be infallible.
Actions: Forcible silencing of opposition, control of media, militarization of society, and the use of violence or paramilitaries to enforce order.
Is he 100% meeting every piece of criteria? No
Is he trying to do whatever he can to move in that direction? 100%
