You too may be declared an enemy of the American people.
The first thing guys like Putin and Khamenei do is launch a war on the free press. Hitler did it. Stalin did it. Three generations of Kims have done it.
And now comes our own Donald Trump. This past week he whipped a rally in Tampa into a frenzy against those journalists he can’t control.
Our Founding Fathers were criticized as sharply as any officeholder today but they refused to ratify the constitution until it included an amendment to protect the very voices that challenged them.
Donald Trump has claimed the entire U.S. intelligence community, our courts, respected war heroes and broad sections of our population are conspiring to undermine his authority.
It’s possible that one day Donald Trump will accuse even his followers of being enemies of the people. They’ll realize that he’s coming for them. And that the Freedom of the Press helps protect all of us from thugs and tyrants.

How many self-serving leaders have there been in the pages of history?
They campaign-promise into voted leadership, or take it by force with foolish armies at their side and all the leaders suffer through their overthrow.
To such leaders: spare your neck.
