Why does "class enemy" redirect here?

Class enemy should redirect to class war. KetchupSalt (talk) 11:52, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Makes sense. But then the target article must defne the term. - Altenmann >talk 14:09, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Donald Trump

I feel that most of this stuff is more relevant to articles about Trump than to the term. I suggest to refactor this information:

Move it into Social media use by Donald Trump, into a new section there: "Donald Trump's criticism of media" (initially I thought "Donald Trump's attacks on media", but it seems it would be on a non-neutral side)
In this article we refer to this section with brief sentence, kind of: "Donald Trump repeatedly called various social media "enemies of the people". This new section may discuss other Trump's attacks on media, not only EoP moniker.
Another approach: we have a full-blown separate article List of nicknames used by Donald Trump, so, why not have a separate article? After all, there is a whole book by Marvin Kalb, Enemy of the People: Trump's War on the Press, the New McCarthyism, and the Threat to American Democracy printed 6 years ago, in, 2018, so I guess this subject acquired an independent notablity. The absract of ther book says "Shortly after assuming office in January 2017, President Donald Trump accused the press of being an “enemy of the American people.” Attacks on the media had been a hallmark of Trump’s presidential campaign". So, how about the title Donald Trump's attacks on the media?

There are 6,860,365 articles on WP. Probable more since I started to answer you. The Trump Period/Era has been interesting to say the least. I support all efforts to explain what we (the real world) have experienced. Buster Seven Talk (UTC) 22:33, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

FYI {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} will show you 6,963,642; At the momemnt of writing this, it showed 6,860,354; I guess deletionists work harder :-) - Altenmann >talk 23:20, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Here you go: Donald Trump's conflict with the media . It looks nobody else cares. - Altenmann >talk 04:22, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
