Trumpism is Trumpian neofacism. A mix of corporatist, oligarchic fascism, aligned with religious fascists (so called "christian" nationalists). A the core of Trumpism is the "Dark Enlightenment" of Curtis Yarvin" to which Peter Thiel and JD Vance are on board with, as are technofascists such as Musk etc.
Frankly, Trump is too shallow and too much of a morn to know what fascism is, all he knows is he wants unchecked power and these malevolent types have enabled him to further their agenda. Trump is just the demagogue mouthpiece, to get those inclined towards fascism on board, i.e. most conservatives, especially the rubes among the masses.
All the elements of neofascism are present in actions, policies, rhetoric, alignments etc. ; Nativism, ultranationalism, racism, xenophobia, authoritarianism, hostility and even violence towards intellectuals, artists, (the intelligentsia) free press, liberal democracy, judges, separation of powers, rule of law, corporatism, liberalism, socialism and much more.
That is Trumpism.
