The whole premise of the video isn't that Trump is good or that Trump is not a fascist, but that Trumpism is an uniquely American style of fascism. There are plenty of parallels, but this is a specific and unique case of the fascist disease that is happening in the USA that has grown from the US fascist movement, which diverged pretty radically from the German model even before WWII. You can "thank" George Lincoln Rockwell for much of it.
Again, Trump is 100% a fascist, but it's the New American Fascism.(TM)(C)(R)
