James O’Brien: ‘Donald Trump is a fascist’

James O’Brien takes a look back in the history books, and questions whether it’s time to ‘stop being cautious’ and call Donald Trump a fascist.

The US President was seen to declare “I know what the hell I’m doing!” on Tuesday night, making the comments during a defiant speech at the National Republican Congressional Committee dinner in Washington.

James reflects on Max Hasting’s article in The Times, in which he writes that “Thoughtful Americans use the F-word – fascism – even while we’re still cautious about doing so.”
