President Trump said “major consideration” is being given by his administration to designating the far-left antifa movement a terrorist organization, as the city of Portland, Ore., prepares for dueling protests between right-wing demonstrators and antifa on Saturday.
“Major consideration is being given to naming ANTIFA an ‘ORGANIZATION OF TERROR,’” the president tweeted. “Portland is being watched very closely. Hopefully the Mayor will be able to properly do his job!”

It, along with all the street gangs, should have been declared domestic terrorists long ago.

OKay, tell me why Trump talks about doing this instead of just doing it? To me, this constant talk and no action is weak. Does he think talk accomplishes anything here, is there any doubt that Antifa is a terrorist organization, or is he waiting until someone dies?

By backing ANTIFA, the portland mayor becomes a de facto terrorist
By aiding and abetting, promoting, terror, the mayor is guilty.

Not sure why you wouldn’t have done this already, Mr. Trump.

Do it now, Mr. President.
To: E. Pluribus Unum
He should either do it or at least let us know why he is not doing it. What are his reservations?

Why is this even open for discussion or threat? Antifa is a domestic terrorist organization. It should already have been designated as one.
To: Reno89519
OK...Show of hands here for all who thinks he will actually do it instead of just tweet about it (thus firing up his base)....
Not raising my hand. I wish he would-because they are-but I’m almost positive he won’t.

Now we get to see if the regular left wing leaders will teach their militant group to act within the law.

It’s complicated ... we don’t want to set a low bar for outlawing political protest groups because DEMOCRATS will abuse it.
The best thing to do is OUTLAW wearing masks at ANY protest - liberal or conservative.
Trump’s on the side of law - he’s on our side.

Why the warning? Stop tweeting and just do it. He hasn’t drained the swamp like he said he would, but he could do this. Why the hesitation?
