I am sure this is probably totally unrelated to Trump repeatedly calling the press and certain networks The Enemy of the People.

FBI arrests Army soldier who allegedly discussed plans to bomb major American news network

The FBI has arrested a U.S. soldier who allegedly discussed plans to bomb a major American news network, planned to travel to Ukraine to fight with violent far-right group Azov Battalion and allegedly distributed information online on how to build bombs. He also allegedly suggested targeting Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke.

According to charging documents in the case, Jarrett William Smith, who transferred to Fort Riley, Kansas, in July, joined the U.S. military only after first expressing his desire to fight in Ukraine.

On Aug. 19, 2019, Smith allegedly spoke with an FBI informant in an online chat group and discussed a plan for an attack inside the U.S., his search for more "radicals" like himself, and the possibility of killing members of the group Antifa.

In suggesting that the headquarters of the major news network could be a target, Smith allegedly said: "A large vehicle bomb. Fill a vehicle full of [explosives] then fill a ping pong ball with [commonly available chemical] via drilling then injection. Put the ball in the tank of the vehicle and leave. 30 minutes later, BOOM."

Then, in a Telegram conversation with an undercover FBI agent on Sept. 20, Smith allegedly had this exchange: (found at above link).

 
Trump keeps pushing his 'enemy of the people' nonsense on any network who dares calling out his corruption. He is going to eventually succeed at getting people killed.  And then he'll hope that the rest of them learned something by it.  It's all part of the plan.
