independent UK - Almost a third of Americans support Donald Trump’s belief that the media is an “enemy of the American people” and favour government restrictions on the press, according to a new survey.
Those views were especially pronounced among supporters of the President, soaring to nearly two-thirds of respondents, according to the survey of 2,100 Americans carried out by Poynter.
A smaller but still significant number of Americans — roughly a quarter — endorsed allowing the government to halt publication of “a story that government officials say is biased or inaccurate,” an extraordinary rebuke of precedent barring such government control of the media.

This is consistent with social research on authoritarian followers. There is always a significant minority willing to goose step for the leader. Trumps handlers have surely read the literature
