If you thought yesterday's press conference was "ranting and raving", it appears President Trump just turned the anti-'Fake news'-media amplifier up to '11', declaring CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS , The New York Times (yet not The Washington Post) as "enemies of the American people".
Incidentally, this was the second tweet, after Trump removed the first version one, which some thought was deleted as it was just a little too "aggressive" but as it turned out, simply ommitted ABC and CBS.
As a reminder, Trump and chief White House strategist Steve Bannon have both referred to the media as the "opposition party."
"The mainstream media has not fired or terminated anyone associated with following our campaign," Mr. Bannon said. "Look at the Twitter feeds of those people: they were outright activists of the Clinton campaign." (He did not name specific reporters or editors.) "That's why you have no power," Mr. Bannon added. "You were humiliated.""You're the opposition party," Mr. Bannon said. "Not the Democratic Party. You're the opposition party. The media's the opposition party."
And here was Trump yesterday.
The media - which according to the president is now America's enemy - had reactions, ranging from the shocked, to the defensive, to the conciliatory, to the bemused.
Only a FAKE PRESIDENT would declare the First Amendment to be the enemy of the American people. twitter.com/realdonaldtrum…
Fact check: We are not the enemy. twitter.com/Acosta/status/…
An American president sworn to defend the Constitution wrote those words twitter.com/davidfrum/stat…
But seriously, all joking aside, this is an incredibly disturbing statement. twitter.com/realDonaldTrum…

Let's be clear: "Enemy of the people" (враг народа) is pure Bolshevism. Trump is citing core Chekist slogans now.twitter.com/realDonaldTrum…

This is how muzzling starts: not with a boot, but with the fear of one that runs so deep that you muzzle yourself. nyti.ms/2lraqLu
Chilling stuff from so-called "leader of the free world".
I used to see this sort of comment from #Iran regime when in Tehran. twitter.com/realDonaldTrum…

Which begs the question, if the "media" is the enemy, what does that make its corporate owners?
