A person can dodge accusations of Nazi by just not having any affinity with specific Nazi things. No swastika, no praising Hitler, and you can make an argument that you aren't a "Nazi" per se, since that is a very specific thing technically. You can be a totally authoritarian figure with every whiff of the badness of the Nazis, but not a Nazi.

In Trump's case we've got check marks for almost everything, including Nazi salutes. No obvious swastikas I'm aware of, and the numbers of people who have actually died or disappeared while in ICE custody isn't close to the Holocaust, but we are also only one year into his full fascist term...
