I know, right! I mean, concentration camps, repeated claims that the head of state cannot do anything illegal and is above the law because he can pardon himself, repeated claims it should be illegal to criticise the head of state, repeated threats to shut down major media outlets for criticizing the head of state, and more recently a claim that the head of state should never be removed from office? That doesn't sound like fascism to me at all. Perfectly good old traditional democracy in action if you ask me.

That sounds like an attempt at dictatorship or monarchy but not necessarily fascism. There's no strength through unity arguments, no pushing to seize economic power through state instruments and in general no consolidation of power in the executive branch. I get that you might want to call the guy a nazi because he's racist, but that doesn't make him a fascist.
