As I said, General Mark Miller was wrong. Mr. Trump is not a "fascist to the core", or even a fascist at all

Last week I posted that I strongly desagreed with General Mark Milley who considers Mr. Trump a «fascist to the core», because from my point of view Mr. Trump is not a fascist, much less fascist to the core, the core he doesn't have. To be a fascist to the core, he would have to believe deeply in something and be interested in something that goes beyond Mr. Trump himself.

It was a bold statement because I haven't been introduced to Mr. Trump yet. Fortunately, John Bolt, a former diplomat and former National Security Advisor to President Donald Trump, came to my rescue and  stated on CNN's The Source:

«I think it’s a mistake to get into a controversy over whether Trump meets the definition of fascist or not. I think his behavior alone is troubling enough. To be a fascist, you have to have a philosophy. Trump’s not capable of that. You know, Adolf Hitler wrote a profoundly troubling book called Mein Kampf – “My Struggle.” Donald Trump couldn’t even read his way all the way through that book, let alone write something like it.»

That's it.
