Which, of course, is fascism. Right wing populism is fascism. And there's an overlap between fascism and socialism (far right populism and far left populism). He's exploiting that. Similarly to how Brexit is defended by the far left because, somehow, possibly, it can lead to anti-globalism / anti-trade agreements. (How laughable that is, is for another post, of course. UKIP effectively neutered labor while creating a new boogieman that they can use for generations. And problems going forward are the fault of the 10% of immigrants in that country.)
