https://www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-new-adviser-steve-cortes-thinks-he-hasnt-been-fascist-enoughPresident Donald Trumps political fortunes took a nosedive when he had federal agents use tear gas to clear out a park across from the White House so he could conduct a photo-op at a nearby church.
But to hear his campaigns newest senior adviser, Steve Cortes, tell it, Trumps misstep was not the act of authorizing attacks on peaceful protestersit was that the president wasnt even more of a fascist.
As the Trump campaigns new senior adviser for strategy, Cortes has been tasked with helping right the ship of President Donald Trumps re-election efforts after months of strategic and tactical blunders under newly demoted campaign manager Brad Parscale. Cortes is a familiar presence to television viewers for his appearances on cable programs, but he also hosts a radio show, The Steve Cortes Show. With that platform, he has advocated for an even more authoritarian version of the current president.
If Trump were the fascist that they pretend that he is, wouldnt he have cracked down much, much harder on the unrest in the American streets? Cortes said on The Steve Cortes Show on June 25, less than three weeks after the incident at Lafayette Square. To be quite honest, you know, when there were people being bloodied, cops being attacked, businesses being smashed, I could have used a tad bit more of a fascist Trump.

I'm ashamed to say that he's from Chicago.
