Trump wrote an Orwellian post on his social media platform today. The US president thinks anti-fascists are in fact terrorists.
“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!” Trump said.
It was unclear who or what exactly the US president plans to designate, with Antifa a loosely organised anti-fascist activist movement that lacks a distinct leader, structure or even membership list.
On Monday, senior White House officials said they would dismantle a “vast domestic terror movement” they claimed had resulted in right-wing activist Charlie Kirk being assassinated last week.
Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff, said the Trump administration is “going to channel all of the anger that we have over the organised campaign that led to this assassination, to uproot and dismantle these terrorist networks”.
