Trump boasts he's about to declare Antifa a "Terrorist Organization"

.

Donald Trump took to Twitter on Sunday morning to announce that he will be “designating ANTIFA as a Terrorist Organization.”

The brief tweet followed several others blaming violence at George Floyd protests on the loosely organized group of anarchists.

The president wrote, “The United States of America will be designating ANTIFA as a Terrorist Organization.”

Congratulations to our National Guard for the great job they did immediately upon arriving in Minneapolis, Minnesota, last night. The ANTIFA led anarchists, among others, were shut down quickly. Should have been done by Mayor on first night and there would have been no trouble!

Other Democrat run Cities and States should look at the total shutdown of Radical Left Anarchists in Minneapolis last night. The National Guard did a great job, and should be used in other States before it is too late!

So, by his definition, is that anyone who is against fascism?

1. What lunatic conspiracy theorist is feeding him that crock of shit?

[malaise]

3. He's the equivalent of Bin Laden

that is all

[fishwax]

8. I don't think it's a conspiracy theory, just an excuse

I don't see any reason to believe that they actually believe Antifa is behind this.

[JHB]

34. The ones he watches on FOX

plus Stephen Miller

[Eliot Rosewater]

2. He and the GOP and putin have been at war with us for years, we just didnt realize it

He and they want us all...you know what.

We better figure out what to do and soon.

[Budi]

4. K & R

Thanks Eliot Rosewater

5. Oh, yeah?

He is a scapegoat fountain.

My view is that his Administration is a terrorist organization, stochastic or otherwise. The biggest threat to our country, all things considered, is him and his impending regime. Everything else pales by comparison. We will be much safer without his toxic, destructive mentality poisoning the well.

[Frustratedlady]

6. So, who is Antifa? I assume anti-fascists?

Is he saying Antifa is a synonym for Democrats?

[TheBlackAdder]

10. It kind of looks that way, as he seems to equate them to Democratic areas.

[Eugene]

13. Antifa is made of loosely coordinated anti-fascists. Some of them like to pick fights with Nazis.

They can be knuckleheads but they sometimes can be lifesavers. AFAIK they never killed anybody or wielded deadly force like the militia movement.

[Caliman73]

17. Antifa is a loose association of community groups.

It isn't an organization per se. There is no leadership structure and no headquarters like with fascist groups, neo-Nazis, and the KKK. It is just a banner that groups fly to show that they are part of the antifascist coalition.


Trump called the mayor of Minneapolis a "radical left" so yeah, he will equate any group left of Nazis to be part of Antifa.

[Frustratedlady]

20. Well, the Mayor of Denver (D) was just on CNN and he said he wouldn't be surprised if Antifa was

involved. That doesn't help the situation. They were talking about these groups infiltrating the protests and carrying heavy weaponry. In my opinion, no group should be carrying those...Right or Left.

The mayor of Minneapolis is just more liberal than Trump can tolerate.

[Jamastiene]

28. I highly doubt antifa are the ones showing up with guns.

They have never done that before. So, I doubt they started now. I've been reading a lot about them and others lately. I hate it when Democrats roll over and agree with whatever the latest Republican asshole wants. That mayor isn't helping.

[Frustratedlady]

30. I agree. It was one of those times you wanted to throw a show at the TV screen.

[paleotn]

7. Huh? What planet does he live on?

No one was "shut down" The guard didn't do shit apparently other than raid an aid station. Oooooo. And Antifa? Wha? Go ahead, Donnie, whatever. They're burning dumpsters outside the White House today. Fitting.

[JHB]

35. The planet inside of his head

It has a twin planet, FOX, and two moons: Scapegoat and Bullshit

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. So why hasn't he formed a federal task force to locate

and arrest those who are causing violence during otherwise peaceful protests? Why haven't they arrested anybody - members of Antifa or any other group, regardless of their political agenda? It's one thing to bloviate about it; it's something else to act on it - and he never does that. He only tweets. I'm not holding my breath.

[shockey80]

11. Trump is lost, he doesn't know what to do.

He will make things worse by doing stupid shit to motivate his base.

[TheBlackAdder]

12. The Trump appointed Bundists are running the White House.

[Hugin]

25. It's the King Crap Midas touch...

I can only hope his next move is to touch himself.

[JHB]

36. "Stephen, give me some names to put on this task force"

Miller: "Certainly sir. I've already researched his and have a few suggestions: Mark Fuhrman (he looked good on FOX, didn't he?), Justin Volpe, Daniel Pantaleo,..."

[Volaris]

39. Because hed end up arresting his own voters.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

41. Exactly.

[Iliyah]

14. Going back to the McCarthy era . . .

blaming everything on your opposition. Ain't gonna work,

[Thomas Hurt]

15. LOL, I still don't know that it even exists...

[Baclava]

16. After Antifa, BLM will be next?

[C_U_L8R]

18. Our parents and grandparents were antifa.

Somewhere the nation lost the script.

[JCMach1]

19. Then I am a terrorist because I am against his fascist a$$

[Solly Mack]

21. That fucker has been itching to go after antifa since his

friends attacked people - and murdered one person - in Charlottesville.

Trump, along with Barr, is using the death of George Floyd to attack Democratic leaders of states/cities, as well as go after any and all liberal and/or left leaning groups.

He doesn't give a fuck about Mr Floyd's death. He doesn't give a damn about police brutality or structural racism. He cheers both.

The right, the entire right, has been lashing out since reports came out detailing how right-wing groups are domestic terrorists.

[AntiFascist]

22. My father collaborated with anti-fascists during WWII...never thought of him as a terrorist n/t

[2naSalit]

23. He's a terrorist organization!

Fuck that POS.

[Hugin]

24. I've been personally exposed to a crap ton of openly fascist White Supremacists.

I can't say I've ever met a member of the Antifa.

I think this is an issue of importance to only the Trumpanzee inner circle.

[The Blue Flower]

26. The entire Greatest Generation is antifa

Idiot

[Jamastiene]

27. I think we can call it fascism now.

That fucker has gotta go.

[TheBlackAdder]

29. Yep, if he says one side is Antifa, that means the other side are Fascists!

[PatSeg]

31. God

Someone needs to put a "lid" on his Twitter account. He's just fueling the fire, though that might be his objective. Who knows with him.

[spanone]

32. So he's going after the (perceived) left? No KKK? No white supremacists?

FUCK YOU TRUMP

A conspiracy theorist as 'president'.

WE ARE FUCKED

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

37. He's not really going after anybody,

because that would involve work and organization. It's easier to throw red meat to the MAGAts via Twitter from the safety of his toilet.

[spanone]

38. He's such a sick fucker.

[Generic Other]

33. Profa Trump

Coordinated nationwide provocateurs. Instigated from the top down.

[Buns_of_Fire]

40. I suppose it is, to the TrumpHumper Terrorist Organization.

And the GOP Terrorist Organization.
And the MAGA Terrorist Organization.
And the "Many Good People" Terrorist Organization.
And the DoJ-Under-Barr Terrorist Organization.
