Is Trump Trying To Build A Fascist Movement? No, He's Just Parroting What He's Heard From Fox / GOP

The New Yorker's John Cassidy wonders whether Donald Trump is floating dangerous ideas -- that the election is being stolen and that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are the founders of ISIS -- because he's trying to build a white nationalist movement in America?:

1. Absolutely!

He is parroting, the shit he spews is on RW radio all the time.

But I really believe that Russia is trying to use this for an advantage.

2. Donald Trump has only one motivation

To promote himself.

He is not very smart and certainly not a strategic thinker. To seriously build a fascist movement or party would require far more organizational abilities than Mr. Trump has ever exhibited. Further, such an ideological movement would require a comprehensive set of interlocking values and perspectives. As we've seen, Mr. Trump has no such core beliefs and he consistently articulates viewpoints that contradict one another. For such a political program to succeed, if it even could in the U.S., it would need an amazing and unique leader.

Donald Trump is not a leader but he is an idiot.
