The plane example was a weak cherry pick in a weak article overall.
Trump is a bigot, but it's too early to say whether he's a fascist.
FDR forced Japanese citizens into internment camps, but history does not remember him as a fascist.
I'm not being an apologist for Trump's comments. But they're just not enough to classify him as a fascist.
If he advocates for more foreign wars, additions to the Patriot Act, or nationalizing entire industries, then we're getting warmer. Though, maybe he can claim one or two of those.
