Verb for making someone an enemy [closed]

I have seen this question answered before with the word "antagonize", but that is not what I want as I feel like that is provoking someone in an attempt to get them to lash back out at you. The word I am looking for would be like the opposite of "victimize", such as a government might want to portray certain countries as enemies so they might spread propaganda to "enemize" individuals. Not necessarily interacting with the enemy, but merely spreading information making them appear as an enemy.

To 'alienate' is to unfriend a former associate.

to cause to be estranged : to make unfriendly, hostile, or indifferent especially where attachment formerly existed

Merriam Webster

Trump certainly doesn't want to alienate alt-right.
