There's some overlap between the two.

I think what makes something some country's values is either the government publicly adopting or enough of the population doing so. That doesn't mean anyone is actually living up to those values. Might not even be trying.

And then there's the question, their values from whose perspective? Americans might say thing X is their value but outsiders might look at them and conclude their value is Y. So there's no one set of coherent values that hold true from all perspectives.

So if Trump wins and the government adopts fascism, those are American values?

Assuming the population adopts those values, yes I'd say so. That's how those values change.
