There's more than one way to describe the political spectrum or compass.  Yours is fine but it's not the only one.
I think you'll agree with me that Trump was not a great defender of private property or of individuals or of private cultural institutions other than Fox News.
As he's not a great fit for "the right" on this spectrum, it's not inconsistent to say he has commonalities with "the left" on it, including with the fascists.
