People forget that Hitler & Napoleon were imperialist. mix imperialism & nazim, its a toxic brew.
being a nationalist never threatened anyone, one only has to look at Fascist Spain run under Gen. Franco.
I think this has more to do with tactics than with political ideology. Take imperialism out of the equation, Trump is pretty close to Napoleon in terms of tactics (even tho Trump doesn't have any military experience; he did attend a military school), He picked up some of that military education. some tactics translate well into politics and business strategy.
