What is Fascism—What does Fascism Look Like? Trumpism?

Please read and share: http://stupidpartymathvmyth.com/1/post/2016/06/what-is-fascism-trumpism.html

"Trump’s fascination with Hitler is just one form of his racist actions. In 1991, John O’Donnell, a former Trump associate, wrote an exposé entitled Trumped! The Inside Story of the Real Donald Trump. During O’Donnell’s tenure as president of the Trump Plaza Hotel, Trump told him that he hates “black guys counting my money!” He added that “the only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day.” To Trump, “laziness is a trait in blacks.” Several years later, Trump didn’t bother to deny it: “The stuff O’Donnell wrote about me is probably true.”

I may have mispelled the professor's name but he is considered the father of fascism. Mussolini used his model when he threw out Italian Congress and replaced it with the heads of Italian industry. I can only suspect that the Italian citizenry, deep in the Great Depression thought it a good idea placing the 'job creators' in charge. Without a doubt, those captains of industry loved the notion.
