scapegoating - not Jews but Illegals
racist - not Jews but anyone brown
misogynistic - pay lip service to modern women, still objectifying them as broodmares
religion co-opting - Trump is at best a marginal Christian but he plays one on tv.
corporatist - trying to manage the corporate power base by demanding they do this or that to suit his agenda. huge tax breaks
ultranationalist - hugging flags, touch myself rallies, enemies of people, blah, blah, blah
militaristic - fancy military parades, spending more and more money on military
authoritarian - thinks he is above the law, fascination with strongmen and dictators
anti-intellectual - attacks on the "elite" the media, disdain for the arts
propagandist - tweets, social media, allies of the alt-right on social media as well as the traditional means of demagoguery, big lies, gaslighting, marketing initiatives.
