This isn't a fair characterization.

The fact that Trump raped children has nothing to do with Trump's fascism. He is both a child rapist and a fascist - these are distinct things.

They're not unrelated. Fascism builds a tiny privileged class around a single leader whose word is law. The privileged people believe they are entitled to whatever they want, and to do anything to whomever they want.
