No, in fact Trotsky condemned the abuse of the term "fascism" (see: "social fascism")

They are addressing modern Trotskyists, not Trotsky himself. Did you miss that point or are you intentionally obfuscating it?

What point is there to make?

This applies equally little to "modern Trotskyists", and claiming anything to the contrary betrays a distinct lack of investigation with an overabundance of speaking.

Verification is trivial: pick your favourite trot website and look up "red fascism".

This depends very much on the flavour of Trot, I've found. There's not a lot of overlap between more Orthodox groups like the Sparts and, say, Cliffite splinters who are often completely divorced from much of Trotsky's theoretical positions.
