When the most powerful and influential officeholder in the nation demonizes an entire profession, one can expect the less tolerant in the nation to act out on the influence of the officeholder.

Mr. Trump, words have consequences.

Words such as:

"disgusting and corrupt media."

"You’re dishonest people.”

"They are the enemy of the American people"

"the opposition party"

"I have a running war with the media."

"They are among the most dishonest human beings on Earth"

"You are fake news."
