Abstract
No USA president in history has received as much opposition as Donald Trump has from all three components of the Establishment, namely the financial establishment, the political establishment and the corporate media establishment. The election of Donald Trump to the office of presidency is marked with dozens of historical first events that are anything but lackluster, yet a bleak picture of Fascism has been painted to describe Trump. This is an extraordinary piece of disinformation, as no modern president has been more consistent in plainly saying what he will do regarding US military and geopolitical goals, both outside and in office. This, even though his stated position is clearly opposite to the wishes of the dominant cabal, supported by both parties, and to US foreign policy since WWII. USA history is not very long, but Trump presidency and his inaugural speech marked a historic starting point for this 'democracy'. Every sentence of Donald J. Trump's inaugural speech was a departure from diplomacy. Knowing what diplomacy actually means, it's a great step toward transparency. It is the best thing that happened in US political history. It is no surprise the Media established completely flipped, the political establishment gasped, and the financial establishment started to conspire a different strategy (George Soros declaring he wants Trump presidency to fail). In the mean time, the typically apolitical science and technology establishment declared Trump completely unfit for the office that he has just been elected to. Trump’s inaugural speech that contained phrases like, "It's time to remember that old wisdom our soldiers will never forget, that whether we are black or brown or white, we all bleed the same red blood of patriots", was in sharp contrast to how Abraham Lincoln viewed America, when he said, "I, as much as any other man, stand in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race… I have no purpose to introduce political and social equality between the white and the black races." Trump’s embrace of humanity and righteousness was reminiscent of Prophet Muhammad’s last sermon at the pilgrimage, where he said over 1400 years, "An Arab is no better than a non-Arab, and a non-Arab is no better than an Arab; a red man is no better than a black man and a black man is no better than a red man – except if it is in terms of piety." Yet, Trump took oath of office swearing on the bible used by Abraham Lincoln. In this two-part paper, the key research question answered is what Trump presidency stands for. In answering this question, the first part deconstructs some of the dominant theories of Fascism. Then, a delinearized history is constructed in order to understand how democracy, as applied in USA, has an inevitable outcome of achieving the same goals as a Fascist regime. The concept of religious extremism, including “Islamic terrorism” or “radical Islam” is also discussed with relevance to ‘war on terror’. The history of US presidency then shows that the office of presidency is used as a tool to advance a Fascist agenda, albeit being packaged as USA exceptionalism. The ground is set for part 2 that analyses the rise of Trump and the demise of DNC integrity, followed by deconstruction of various allegations against Trump.

The 2116 US presidential election cycle has been unprecedented by even US standards
Thanks to various levels of disclosures by WikiLeaks, it was concluded that Senator Bernie Sanders supporters cost Hillary Clinton the election
Other narrative is about Trump setting the clock back to a fascist agenda. It is no small irony when one is reminded of Secretary Hillary Clinton, who previously told in Ohio that Trump’s refusal to accept defeat was unprecedented and lectured the entire USA with such statements as, " make no mistake: by doing that, he is threatening our democracy," "But we know in our country the difference between leadership and dictatorship, right? And the peaceful transition of power is one of the things that sets us apart."
Summary
The 2116 US presidential election cycle has been unprecedented by even US standards. Various forms of cognitive dissonance have been invoked to come up with conclusions. Liberals who seemed more angry at Hillary Clinton and DNC only a few weeks ago are railing against Trump with a strident chorus of hate and vitriol.[3] Even soft-spoken Senator Bernie Sanders is calling Trump a liar, often making comments such as, “President Trump cannot continue to lie, lie, lie It diminishes the office of the president and our standing in the world.”. Even the mainstream Republic party members as well as typically apolitical entities, such as scientist or financial communities are raising ‘concern’s about the direction the country is going Even neoconservatives, such as columnist Robert Kagan posited Trump as a fascist, declaring, “This is how fascism comes to America, not with jackboots and salutes ( there have been salutes, and a whiff of violence) but with a television huckster, a phony billionaire, a textbook egomaniac 'tapping into' popular resentments and insecurities, and with an entire national political party — out of ambition or blind party loyalty, or out of fear — falling into line behind him."[4]. These facts are tallied against the accusations made against Trump in order assess the real motive of the accusations
