A new White House enemies list names just 3 people. It's terrifying
Narrative Analysis: Appeal to Fear

The juvenile delinquents who have been put in charge of the White House website and social media have officially gone full Nazi by creating an “Enemies List” of “Leftist Influencers” on WhiteHouse.gov The list is fairly short for now, but the fact that it exists at all is proof that the Trump-controlled government is continuing to follow a propaganda playbook that was originally written in German in the 1930s. It was then later translated into Russian before finally reaching our shores and becoming a hybrid of their most horrifically successful tactics, with just enough of The Handmaid’s Tale for good measure added in over the last few years.All of which has been boosted by MAGA-dominated social media for more than a decade. Trump’s attacks on the press began almost exactly 11 years ago, when he first descended the tacky gold escalator in his tacky gold tower to fling his loaded diaper all over our political norms. It was then that he began poisoning the vernacular with the term “fake news media,” which is now so common that it’s used by Republican members of Congress who allowed themselves to be compromised thanks to blackmail (Russian Tactics 101, for those of you who are new to the subject). Those who once spoke out against Trump are now fully owned by him, as is the right-wing media, which helps boost his lies instead of exposing them. CBS News has already fallen to him, but that’s not enough. Hitler had his Lügenpresse; Trump has “Fake News Media.” Which is full-on projection language, considering he’s been abetted by Fox, Newsmax, and OAN, along with “MAGA journalists” like Nick Shirley, who are on the White House payroll to create distractions from the Epstein Files. THIS is what the real Fake News Media looks like.Why yes, that’s my tweet from October 2025, when these kids with cameras in their phones were calling themselves “journalists” because it would continue to delegitimize the work done by actual, real journalists who were exposing the truth about the Trump administration.Like everything else Trump does, that move came with a body count in Minneapolis. I’ve written here before about his specific attacks on women in the media, which happened yet again this week when he attacked CNN’s Kaitlan Collins during a press briefing in the Oval Office--before she had even said a word.Trump’s attacks on the media have escalated drastically over the last few months as both his mental and physical health have been rapidly declining in front of the entire world. Interestingly, the “Leftist Influencers” who are being targeted have all reported on Trump’s health. David Pakman, Ed Krassenstein, and Brian Tyler Cohen are all on the WHITE HOUSE WEBSITE, each of them being made out to be enemies of the State. They’re all essentially being doxxed by Donald Trump, all for daring to always tell the truth about him. A quick word about Ed Krassenstein and his brother, Brian. They’ve had a bad rep for being opportunistic grifters for as long as I can remember. They claim to be Democrats, but have tweeted support for Trump in the past, and have even justified buying a Cybertruck. These aren’t all of the things about them, but this is my way of saying that they are not universally beloved by liberals, and that would include me. Also, not all liberals are Leftists, just to be clear. Anyway, any controversies connected to the Krassensteins are besides the point; neither of them deserves to be targeted by the White House as a distraction from the Epstein Files. Freedom of the Press is guaranteed by the Constitution, as is Freedom of Speech. Any attack on any member of the press is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. Those of us who’ve also been writing the truth about Trump for a long time are wondering when we’ll be added to that list. It’s not as if we don’t have digital footprints like those I’ve mentioned; some of us have larger platforms than others. And a few of us are blocked by Trump on Twitter. I’ve been blocked since August 2015, which is why I’m probably not on the list yet.But it’s not just those “influencers” being targeted for talking about Trump on their podcasts. The White House is now also threatening people for simply posting on social media about Trump, Jeffrey Epstein, and Melania. Writer Anthony Andrews tweeted on Saturday that he had received a “cease and desist” order for his Twitter posts and shared screenshots from the order. I don’t care if you voted for Trump three times; that should make you furious. MAGA tweets far worse things than that about Democrats all day, every day. I’m especially rolling my eyes at the “GOVERN YOURSELF ACCORDINGLY” part, considering that Andrews was doing exactly that. He was exercising his Constitutional right to free speech, which includes being able to openly criticize any member of the United States government. He was sharing knowledge about the Epstein Files. Discovery on this alone could end the entire GOP, so I’m not sure why Trump is going after individual Twitter accounts. But it’s not going to stop anyone from telling the truth about him. The website you’re reading this on could very well be targeted at some point, since all we do here at Raw Story is tell the truth, even when we’re writing Commentary. In my case, I’ve never stopped telling the truth about anyone in politics, because the truth doesn’t care how we vote. The truth about a Republican isn’t any more or less true than the truth about a Democrat. Like Scott Pelley, I won’t be told what to say or write.It’s up to all of us to keep making the truth matter and stand up to anyone who tries to silence it.
