If you know the history of fascist propaganda in the 1930s, this dog whistle will blow your eardrums out.
There's no battle. It's just another news cycle reiterating what everyone already knows. Trump's a fascist who is steeped in the revanchist mythology of the movement.
If you ignore every instance of Trump playing footsie with European fascists, half his foreign policy becomes a topic you're not allowed to talk about.
