A grid of eight panels displays leaders from different eras. Each panel contains one figure and one word from a shared sentence. The sentence states that the press is the enemy of the people. The final panel shows the sitting president finishing the line.

The sequence places earlier rulers first. Their panels establish the phrase as one used before. The current president appears last and repeats the full statement. The layout connects the repeated words across time.

The image responds to statements made by the president in early 2017. Those statements described news outlets as opponents of the public. The grid places the recent comments next to earlier uses of similar language by other heads of state. The structure highlights repetition of the same wording.

The visual places the president in the same format as the others. All figures receive equal panel size and similar speech bubble treatment. The shared sentence creates the link between the panels without additional text.
