It’s been going on for more than two years now. Donald Trump repeatedly refers to the media in Stalinist terms as the “enemy of the people.”<\/em> He knows when he does this that he is putting people’s lives at risk. He simply doesn’t care. Because his objective is to utterly demolish the credibility of the free press so that people won’t believe their accurate reports of his criminal activities.<\/p>\n

The consequences of Trump’s smears have already been seen in attacks on the staff of the Capital Gazette<\/a><\/strong> in Maryland. It’s been seen in the mail bombs sent<\/a><\/strong> to multiple people in the media. The press reporting at Trump events are subject to physical assaults. And still Trump persists in inflaming these hostilities with reckless and ignorant messages to his Deplorables:<\/p>\n

The Press has never been more dishonest than it is today. Stories are written that have absolutely no basis in fact. The writers don\u2019t even call asking for verification. They are totally out of control. Sadly, I kept many of them in business. In six years, they all go BUST!<\/p>\n
