Trump is now the "Enemy of the People" - He's Exposed All the Swamp Rats and Pigs

"Enemy of the People" is a phrase Trump used about the press. This was also a phase used by the Roman Senate about Nero, by the Jacobins during the French Revolution, by Lenin and Stalin, by the Joseph Goebbels, but also by Henrik Ibsen.
Ibsen's play, An Enemy of the People, the towns bathing complex is exposed as being contaminated by Dr. Stockmann. The town has determined the necessary repairs would be too expensive and demand Stockmann must retract his statements. 
The doctor holds a town meeting to give a lecture on the baths, but Aslaksen and the mayor try to keep him from speaking. Dr. Stockmann then begins a long tirade in which he condemns the foundations of the town and the tyranny of the majority. The audience finds his speech incredibly offensive, and the next morning the doctor's home is vandalized. He and his daughter are fired. The mayor insinuates that the doctor's actions were merely a scheme to inherit more of Morten Kiil's money, and Kiil himself soon arrives to suggest just such a plan to Dr. Stockmann. However, the doctor refuses all such suggestions and decides to defy authority and remain in town. His family is supportive, and he says that the strongest man is the man who stands alone.
How many lies can Trump withstand? m/r
