Merriam-Webster


1 often capitalized : 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.


Trump acts like a dictator in thinking what he says goes (Steven Miller's the President shall not be questioned comment), he demands loyalty from people around him, and he wants to jail reporters who report articles he doesn't like. Seems like it fits a lot the definition.
