More technically, I'd say he's a "wannabe" fascist. Tom Nichols admonished some months ago, 'Be careful because words have meaning. There may come a point where we genuinely need this one for what happens.'
The definition is: "a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition"
I just don't think we're there yet. And, if we should arrive, we don't want the term to already be normalized.
