Beyond the issue of Trump's wannabe failed fascism, I hope some time in the near future discussions of fascism will reflect the transnational nature of the problem. Fascism was not only German & Italian & it crisscrossed the world, from Latin America to Egypt, India & China... 
In fact in his failed fascism, Trump's presents features (in terms of coup, religiosity, economics, etc) which are more characteristic of other fascisms, especially but not exclusively Latin American ones.
but I think at least for historians, the problem is so many experts on Europe and USA have no clue of global south history whereas those working on global south cannot afford to ignore history of the north.
The discussion among American and European experts and non experts on fascism often reflects this ethnocentric tendencies...I have especially criticized this in my last 4 books on fascism, perhaps even earlier than that...
