Trump's policies are fascism

 QUORA: "What term do you think best describes Trump's attempts to control the U.S. economy — state capitalism, fascist capitalism, or is there another term?"

My answer:

Neither “state capitalism” nor “fascist capitalism.” Both are logically invalid terms because Capitalism by definition means the absence of government interference into—or control of—the economy (i.e. the separation of economics and state). Trump’s policies are, in fact, straight-up socialism of the fascist, as opposed to the Communist, variety.
