Trump says he would designate Antifa, other left-wing groups as ‘domestic terrorists’

President Donald Trump said Monday he’d consider naming far-left anti-fascism group Antifa as domestic terrorists, previewing a plan to crack down on what he’s cast as a widespread network of left-wing radicals inciting violence.

“It’s something I would do, yeah,” he said when asked whether he would assign a domestic terrorism label to Antifa, saying he would proceed if he found support from Cabinet officials and the Justice Department.

It wasn’t clear who or what exactly Trump would designate; Antifa is a loosely organized movement without a distinct leader, membership lists or structure.

His comments come as a host of administration officials have signaled in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination that they’ll be targeting what they claim is a coordinated left-wing effort to incite violence. So far, no evidence has publicly emerged that the alleged assassin was working as part of a larger, coordinated effort.

Question: what protections does that afford we the people against such groups, other than the Gov being able to deal with them differently?

Can’t say Trump hasn’t been patient enough with them. They have another thing coming.

Put a bounty on antifa...similar to the culling of the coyote population.

Oh my! It might take some effort and be difficult - oh, no, we shall perspire greatly...

Some jobs just need doing, get on with it.

The big problem now is the perpetrators being released by no-bail activist judges.

There is going to be a fight, let’s get it started and over with.

Get used to the idea that each and every one of us will need to be involved.

Trump is just the start of the fight, he is not the end of the fight.

It is going to take a generation to turn things around. History shows us that.

Just ship his ass to Gitmo...for his own safety. No telling what the terrorist might do to free him...or shut him up.
