Since you asked, my answer is, 'No'.

Fascism is an ideology (technically, one of three current meta-ideologies, with Liberalism and Marxism being the other two, with each spawning a number of political ideologies, usually national in scope). Mr. Trump has no ideology. He is a classic example of a (would-be) 'personal dictator'. He may, however, enable Fascism in some form to be established that would succeed him--or, say, a theocratic form of tyranny from the 'evangelical' right.

In any case, the antidote is an advance in our understanding of what justice is to supersede Liberalism, the conceptual and practical limits of which are currently being exposed. Here is one attempt at that: "Can't Get Any Simpler" (a "3 min read" here in Medium with links to various articles about 'real justice' from different perspectives--with, for the benefit of 'guest readers', nothing I publish here behind the paywall).
