If Trump is a fascist, can you explain why he lets every TV station except one, spend several hours a day, attacking everything he does?

If he's a fascist, he's not a very good fascist. A right wing fascist wouldn't allow the attacks he lives with. He's a thin-skinned jerk, maybe he learned that from his predecessor.

He’s pandering to the fascists.
Especially the uneducated fascists.

The only reason he lets them is because of the constitution and balance of power. He has said/tweeted time and time about revoking licenses and the sort. Fascist intent and promotion of fascist intent differ from the ability to carry out those intents unchecked.

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

"The only reason he lets them is because of the constitution and balance of power. "

Agreed. Which means, he's not a fascist. he might be following the constitution begrudgingly, but he's following it. That's about the exact opposite of a fascist.

Agreed. But there are a lot of charismatic narcissists out there. There is a reason that Newsweek picked Charles Manson to compare him to. And this is why Newsweek sold in 2010 for the whopping price of $1, and whoever bought it, got fleeced.
