I agree that the words "fascist" and "fascism" have practically been worn out by misuse and overuse, but Trump has mutated the Republican Party into something that, to my eyes, meets most common definitions of Fascism, and looking at the wikipedia article you mention seems to confirm my thoughts on this: they describe fascism as "a form of far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalism" and mention protectionism, and economic interventionism, and opposition to liberal democracy, among other things. I would be interested to hear how the Trump administration is different in concept from the description outlined by the wikipedia page.
