Enemies of the people - who are they?

Me asking Kentucky coal miner questions underground in 1978 - scary, but not as scary as being in a presidential press conference today.

Amendment I - Freedom of Religion, Speech, Press, Assembly, and Petition


OPINION: Why do you think the first amendment to our Constitution elevates freedom of the press up there with other freedoms including religion, speech, assembly and petition?  Because all these freedoms are of major importance to our democracy!

I take professional offense at Pres. Trump calling other journalists "enemies of the people" when they question him at press conferences.

People in the White House press corps have been verified by the Secret Service, so I don't think they are terrorists or anarchists. For the highest official in the land to call them "enemies" stoops to dictatorship.

The "PRESS" are paid to lean in, iron out, move forward, seek justification from those they question. They have the responsibility to pressure someone into answering and uncover truth. They are logical and hard working. I am a member of the press.

People who shun the press tend to be hiding something that needs to be uncovered  or they just don't know answers and, therefore, have no constructive solutions.

Why does Trump call these citizens FAKE NEWS and ENEMIES? Why is he abridging freedom of the press? If I had access to White House briefings today, I would turn in my badge until the administration ends the war with the press.
