Not reducing the real exponential harm that the Trump presidency has caused, but we’ve now had two successive presidents where this has been done. Truly absurd.

It’s jargon which is typically made up by cult leaders to create an in group and out group. When a cult leader renames something, it’s essentially a loyalty test to see who will use it and who won’t.
Certainly there is more there that could be called sinister, he himself has significant moral and ethical shortcomings and is being propped up by people even further along that road. But anyone that has heard him speak would recognise profound cognitive impairment. With all the medical understanding of such conditions now the fact that no one in power has acknowledged it and suggested action says very much about what actual safeguards exist to limit despotism.
It can be both and more, but what is really troubling is that he has people who actually drink this insane cyanide Kool-Aid and force it onto all others.

Insert meme: “Why not both?”
