Trump calls the press the enemy of the people — echoing Hitler, Mao, Stalin, and Chavez with that depiction of the press — while speaking about meeting with a despot who literally murders journalists who criticize his regime. This is another sick low point in US history. https://t.co/yyGVCJa64C

POTUS assails the free press in front of the entire world. Setting a dangerous precedent and affirming what we all know: Trump in painting us as the "enemy of the people" shows he has no respect for the people. @realDonaldTrump
