The US has been doing Fascism for a long time, so this is not "the beginning", we're way past that, but the indoctrinated Public never knew it and wouldn't understand anyway. Fascism is simply Corporations running the military via the government. That's certainly the case now, was with Obama, Dubya , Clinton, Bush 1, likely going back to Reagan, and probably beyond, but I don't know the older politics as well as the new yet.
Trump just closer represents the hideous Fascist Dictators of the past.
