Trump: Traitor and Russian Plant or Ultranationalist Fascist?

Might this be a false alternative?

The Trump haters in their furious incoherence oscillate between calling him

. . . an anti-American traitor and Russian plant to calling him a dangerous, fascistic ultranationalist whose relentless hawkishness is bringing us closer to World War Three. Already there are some days when they mount both attacks at the same time: the hawkish traitor whose Nazi style America First ideology leads him to lick Putin’s boots. The media wants to cast Trump as both Neville Chamberlain and Adolf Hitler; but you can’t give the Sudetenland to yourself.

Brilliant.
