If you can't see the Trump characteristics that provoke the comparisons with a tin-pot dictator if not a fascist, those 26 Benitos that he earned, you're not looking. Trump seems to suffer from a sad form of outward grandiosity that's probably borne of a deep sense of insecurity and entitlement.

What did he actually do to (rather than just verbally rant about) journalists? As for the immigration policy I've already stated my opposition, but "first they came for" was slave labor and death camps, not refusal to admit people in to the country.
