#1 walruskkkch:
If they ain’t the enemy they are doing a great impersonation.

#2 Another comment - Trump did not say the press was the enemy of the people. He said “fake news” was the enemy. A perfect example is the news being reported that he said it was the press in general. Repeat a lie enough, everyone believes it.

There is a rational explanation for that apparent conflict - the press knows all of its' news is fake news, therefore fake news=the press=the enemy of the people. Q.E.D.!

#4 Anyone who dissembles, lies, plays with the truth, promotes criminality and corruption, puts out propaganda, tears down the culture, cedes their 1st amendment rights to Left, tears apart the Constitution, puts out propaganda and promotes the Left is the enemy.

#5 Trump did not say the press was the enemy of the people. He said “fake news” was the enemy.
Oddly enough the folks complaining about attacks on the press are responsible for most of that fake news.

#7 The full text
Mr. President Trump,

You say the press is the enemy, but we are not the enemy. At least I’m not. Harvey might be — I don’t really pay attention to what he’s doing. And I’m pretty sure Basil is. And I accidentally walked into the New York Times the other day and they had up on a whiteboard “How to Destroy Trump” with a bunch of doodles. But I am not the enemy.

In fact, I have a proposal for you. You should make a new branch of the military called “Blog Force.” It would be like Space Force, but for blogs. I won’t participate in it because it sounds dumb. But I have another proposal for you: Space Blog Force. That’s like Blog Force, but in space. That I will lead. And I will require one (1) nuclear weapon. And you can’t ask a lot of questions what I will use it for. Just know it will be in space, so don’t worry about it.

Please listen to my proposal, Mr. Trump. Don’t make me your enemy like the rest of the press.

Signed,
Frank J. [last name withheld for anonymity]
