A debate about Trumpism and fascism has been ongoing since Donald Trump's announcement for the presidency on June 15, 2015. Some scholars and commentators have raised concerns about Trump's behavior and rhetoric, suggesting it resembles fascism. They point to his purported white nationalist ideology, authoritarian tendencies, anti-intellectualism, and encouragement of political violence as indicators of a fascist politics.[1] Other experts have been skeptical, arguing that labeling Trump a fascist oversimplifies or inflames the complex historical issues.[2][3] In the aftermath of the January 6th 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, historian of fascism Robert Paxton wrote that he now saw Trumpism as a form of fascism, despite his earlier objection to using the term in this way.[4][5] Other historians of fascism such as Roger Griffin, Stanley Payne and Richard J. Evans have continued to disagree that fascism is an appropriate term to describe Trump's politics.[6][7]
