Comparing Trump to Stalin is ridiculous

Washington Post:
Why Trump’s ‘enemy of the people’ bluster can’t be compared to Stalin’s savage rule

President Trump uses the phrase to attack the press. Stalin used the press to attack his enemies – and killed them by the millions.
Sen. Flake's analogy seems to ignore most of the things about Stalin but a particular phrase and not look at the substance of his awfulness.  Trump is critical of those who criticize him.  One does not give up the right to do such things simply because they are President. 

It does raise the question of why are so many people in the media are such wimps when facing criticism.  What they should realize by now is that Trump is not one to stoically absorb the blows of critics in the media.  George Bush did that and it did not help him a bit. 

Trump's responses do appear to draw support from his base and thwart the leftist media's attempt to separate Trump from his supporters.
