This is more the oligarch / dictator wannabe. He is saying fascist things because that gets votes but like Orban if becoming a socialist, a devout Christian, a hard core libertarian gets his base riled up - he’ll do it.
All he wants is to make sure to be able to steal more money and not get prosecuted by the next government.
He is Orban (originally a left wing crusader), Lukashenko (originally a man anti corruption fire brand), Putin (originally a pragmatic technocrat) / they are now all hard right wing , “religious” (ignore all their lovers and affairs) men of the people (ignore the palaces and yachts). All of them flap in the wind of populism. It just so happens that all the slots are primed and ready to vote for fascism.
