The FAKE NEWS media (failing @nytimes, @NBCNews, @ABC, @CBS, @CNN) is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the American People!

Creation of media lashes out at media.

Let's be clear: "Enemy of the people" (враг народа) is pure Bolshevism. Trump is citing core Chekist slogans now.https://t.co/S6y7fH5Tzx

A century ago, it took Vladimir Lenin one month after taking power to coin the term "vrag naroda", "enemy of the people", on 28 Nov, 1917.

It seems that every time the President is taught a lesson that the Constitution is stronger than he is, he tries to undermine it.

A journalist is a citizen. Who informs other citizens, as free citizens need. Some are killed doing it. I'm grateful to many who inform me.

You have to admit, tho, it was considerate of Trump to include the @ handles for the enemies of the American People.

— David S. Bernstein (@dbernstein) February 17, 2017

The irony is that Trump wouldn't be president today if it wasn't for all the help, softballs & free airtime from the 'enemies of the people'

This is how muzzling starts: not with a boot, but with the fear of one that runs so deep that you muzzle yourself. https://t.co/XZUlFyv9Vz

Demonizing the media echoes the world's worst tyrants. The American people need a free press more than they need a childish autocrat.

You were the champion of leaking during campaign especially leaks of illegally obtained documents released by enemies of US

It's a Breitbart presidency. This is what we have.
