Stalin ran it into the end zone later, but Lenin pioneered it (1917) and it was quite systematically applied in the early USSR, including to entire categories of people based on profession or social origin, so the blanket application to journalists by Trump reminds me of it.

Of course Nazis used it to refer to Jews, and here I think Trump has achieved a pioneering historical synthesis.
