General John Kelly: "He said that, in his opinion, Mr. Trump met the definition of a fascist, would govern like a dictator if allowed, and had no understanding of the Constitution or the concept of rule of law."

Here's the guy who admires Hitler's generals telling his cultists that journalists who don't treat him nice are "enemies of the people." 

The Soviet Union made extensive use of the term vrag naroda (Russian: враг народа), literally meaning enemy of the people. The term was first used in a speech by Felix Dzerzhinsky, the first chairman of the Cheka, after the October Revolution. 

The Cheka was the first secret police organization in the Soviet Union, established in 1917 by the Bolshevik party to combat enemies during the Russian Civil War. Trump is using a term the Bolsheviks, who ultimately became the Communists of the Soviet Union, against American journalists.
