If fascism, as Mussolini said, is the political union of corporations and the State, promotors of these treaties are pursuing a fascist goal.

Which, together with other corporatist-statist leanings, logically makes Clinton at least as fascist as Trump, although the latter, while a student of 'Hitlerism', seems more neo-Mussolini in style.

All will have studied Machiavelli, that's for sure.
