President Donald Trump said he is designating the far-left anti-fascism movement Antifa as a terrorist organization, announcing the move on his Truth Social platform in the early hours of Thursday morning UK time.

It wasn’t immediately clear what mechanism Trump would use to make the designation, and Antifa lacks centralized structure or defined leadership, making it unclear who or what precisely would be targeted.

“I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A. Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION,” Trump wrote. “I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

A White House official told CNN, “This is just one of many actions the president will take to address left wing organizations that fuel political violence.”

Trump — who’s overseas for a formal state visit — signaled the move earlier this week in remarks from the Oval Office following the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

There's a word for being anti-anti-fascist. I think Trump might be that.

Go get 'em tiger! He needs to get the head of this highly organized operation first if he wants to be effective. Who's in charge of antifa again?

It's going to be whoever he says it is. That's the point of this move.

[–] Reality_Suit@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Bingo! It's definitely going to be whoever his political opponent is, along with anyone he doesn't like.

Who’s in charge of antifa again?

I have 51% of the antifa stock

We have stocks?

Nobody around here tells me anything.

You're too low on ranks for that information to be meaningful

I knew it. We got 'em.

far-left

Ah, yes... not liking fascists is a "far left" thing now... because, apparently, liberals have now decided that they are the "normal" left - you know, instead of the bog-standard right-wingers they have been since the start of liberalism.

This whole idea of a "far left" is a very, very dangerous liberal invention - and I'm afraid a lot of leftists have proven disappointingly non-immune to it.

I declare the GOP a terrorist organization.
