His latest threat is to apply tariffs on any country that doesn't support is "annexation" of Greenland! WTF, Why not just declare war on the world?
They are pretty much is headed in that direction. Here's a tidbit that describes the traits of fascism. Pretty much says it all.
・Powerful, often exclusionary, populist nationalism centered on cult of a redemptive, “infallible” leader who never admits mistakes.
・Political power derived from questioning reality, endorsing myth and rage, and promoting lies.
・Fixation with perceived national decline, humiliation, or victimhood.
・White Replacement “Theory” used to show that democratic ideals of freedom and equality are a threat. Oppose any initiatives or institutions that are racially, ethnically, or religiously harmonious.
・Disdain for human rights while seeking purity and cleansing for those they define as part of the nation.
・Identification of “enemies”/scapegoats as a unifying cause. Imprison and/or murder opposition and minority group leaders.
・Supremacy of the military and embrace of paramilitarism in an uneasy, but effective collaboration with traditional elites. Fascists arm people and justify and glorify violence as “redemptive”.
・Rampant sexism.
・Control of mass media and undermining “truth”.
・Obsession with national security, crime and punishment, and fostering a sense of the nation under attack.
・Religion and government are intertwined.
・Corporate power is protected and labor power is suppressed.
・Disdain for intellectuals and the arts not aligned with the fascist narrative.
・Rampant cronyism and corruption. Loyalty to the leader is paramount and often more important than competence.
・Fraudulent elections and creation of a one-party state.
・Often seeking to expand territory through armed conflict.

Just as scary is the fact that over half of the eligible voting public supported him in the election. Canadians might want to think about that for a minute the next time they consider crossing the border.
