it's not though
they're pretty different even if they have some overlap. trump is a classical liberal at heart and most of his platforms are market-oriented. in as much as he is a "fascist" it's in the way that the european leftists described the tactical linkage between fascism and capitalism, where the former is kept around as a reactionary weapon to bash through leftist political territories and then done away with once the real enemies to capitalist political and social control have been pacified.
all of trump's nationalisms and fascisms are subordinate to classically liberal markets-first ideology. netanyahu, otoh, is a jewish nationalist first and foremost and it shows in the present structure of the israeli state as well as how easily israel switched to a war footing. what a lot of trumpists want is what netanyahu actually offers, but trump isn't and never was going to be anything like that.
