The "corporate" part is just coincidence. The fascism will be the effect, but let's not kid ourselves about his even understanding what fascism is. He's lazy and ignorant, wants what he wants when he wants it, and doesn't care about how it gets done, as long as he gets credit.

He's ruining the good name of fascism by being a mere spoiled man-child.
