You don't like the word "Fascist" to be used to describe the Trump Administration?

So, we hear of the Bowling Green Massacre, which according to Conway was an honest mistake on her part to name it that, then goes on to say it was never mentioned nor investigated. My understanding is that about 90 newpapers covered it, and the people who were found guilty of charges stemming from the event are serving time in prison after a lengthy investigation--how many "honest" mistakes, without any retraction or setting the record straight do we need to hear before coming to the reasonable conclusion we are being lied to? Another example, Spicer in a press conference stated that Iran had fired on a US vessel, and when corrected did not retract his statement but blithely moved on to a new topic. Trump states we have Iran "on notice," hangs up on the Australian Prime Minister after a heated call--I wonder how many incidents it is going to take before people come to the logical conclusion that the Trump administration communications are composed of lies, and appears to be spoiling for a fight with anyone that dares to stand their ground. This goes for the press, other nations, and citizens of this country. You don't like the word Fascist? Fine. Call it whatever you like, he appears to be isolating this nation vis a vis other nations, is in a calculated fashion misinforming the people of this nation, has appointed people for his Cabinet and to the NSC who have aims inimical to the Constitutional rights of the citizenry, is provoking hostile responses from other countries by threatening military action or to build walls etc ad nauseatum. Maybe we need a new word to describe all this, but it seems to me that the old words fit just great. Liar. Cheat. Thief. Greedy. Egomaniac.
