2017: when a #GOP WH, guided by an avowed Leninist, cites a Soviet secret police slogan to attack the free press as "enemy of the people"

I've often criticized MSM 4 bias+insularity. But to call the free press "enemy of the people" is both Stalinist & profoundly anti-American.

He wants to tear down the our whole system and replace it with a nationalist state. He said he wants to have an exciting economy like in the 30s, when the US was still in the Depression. There was a country with an "exciting economy" in the 30s... Germany. That's what he wants. A Fourth Reich.
