President Trump is scrambling to place blame for the violence now sweeping the country

Trump does not have the authority to declare a domestic group as a terrorist organization. “There is no authority under law to do that—and if such a statute were passed, it would face serious First Amendment challenges,” McCord said. “But right now, the only terrorist authority is for foreign terrorist organizations.”

The ACLU also condemned the move. “As this tweet demonstrates, terrorism is an inherently political label, easily abused and misused. There is no legal authority for designating a domestic group.

Shouldn’t we all be anti-fascist? Why would anyone want to be pro-fascist? Aren’t they the bad guys? This is what happens when you put a Nazi in the White House. The original Anitfa was created to fight the Nazis.

I think Donald Trump understands what we should do about our issues.I have the United States of America back like you have.

Cabeza e pichi...

'President Trump is scrambling to place blame for the violence now sweeping the country.' No, he's not. Antifa is a domestic terrorist organization. Regardless of what's going on now, they should have had that designation already. For the record, KKK should also have it too.

REALLY!? - I'm gonna have to join up then.

the people that are burning buildings and beating people up and destroying property are antifa thugs you can completely see their white. he's doing more for this country than the rolling Stones has ever done for its readers

happyfinko I’d like to add rolling stone to that list as well

Good move Trump. Right now Barr is unmasking Antifa leaders phone connections to politicians and media members. Should be interesting.

that will do as much as shutting down air travel from china. how did that go?

There is no organization. And he can't declare sh*t.

Seems like the logical thing for a fascist wanna be autocrat to do. We must vote this guy and his senate enablers out of office on 11/03/2020 or we'll be on our way to a Fourth Reich in the U.S.

Trump is a terrorist. 🖕Trump.

'Bout time!

Because it is

The Trump administration is a terrorist organization. We've been living the trauma since election night 2016.

He’s a clown.

MAGA is terrorist as well... and Trumps association with the Church of Satan... here: Perfect Time

Another political move in light of REAL LIFE problems people of color face everyday. Trump being trump TrumpResignNow

It’s not deflection. It’s targeting the real issue.

Well done a hard days work you clueless fuck!

Trump needs to resign. The GOP needs to stand up and hold him accountable. What is GOP getting watching the country being dragged down by their president? What's in it for them? ResignTrumpNow VoteBlueToSaveAmerica

Rolling Stone is a joke... Not even relevant anymore.

Rolling Stone supports Antifa? Why am I not supprised.

Deflects? You mean addresses and implements.

i thought Libs were snowflakes? now what, they are funding a huge army of domestic terrorists? this fails the smell test.

Deflects? There the ones burning everything down

Deflects. That’s cute.

Unfollow realDonaldTrump

This is what a fascist does.

Anti 'Anti-Fascist'...Das ist Gut. With nation afire, Trump deflects by designating Antifa a terrorist organization

The deflection was supposed to be also declaring the K.K.K. a terrorist organizations. Oh, one other thing, did all of you see those videos of innocent people be killed for the fun of it? At least 30 people were killed last night. These people won't ever be arrested........

Who was UmbrellaMan Proudboy ? antifa?

And confirming that he is a Fascist.

In contrast, the KKK has been around for 150 years and has NEVER been designated as a terrorist organization

Anti-Fascist...Das ist Gut. With nation afire, Trump deflects by designating Antifa a terrorist organization

Time to take to the streets to protest this Presidency

Arrest me too for I am against fascism! arrestmetoo MinneapolisUprising

Scapegoats solve everything for him.

Where was Antifa at in any city protesting?.... anyone?

Awesome 👏 thank you President Trump

You guys need everyone to vote him out the door before America ends up in flames

Hey look, its the new Ghestapo

absurd

Not surprised that he sides with the fascists, but ok.

I can't seem to find any investigation or proof of any coordinated events ever done by Antifa, I'm not sticking up for anyone, but I'm also not going to blindly be led to believe without proof.

Antifa is the one that set nation on fire! What are you, blind?

Worthless Leadership

Is he going to class the U.S. army a terrorist organisation, they were anti fascist during WW2

He’s lost control but was never in control in the first place !!

Not a deflection and long overdue.

“President reiterates commitment to fascism.”

More likely the white supremists!!

Demings rips Trump for failure to rise to help nation in crisisRep. Val Demings talks with Rachel Maddow about the challenge of allowing people to demonstrate their frustration while maintaining public safety, and accuses Donald Trump of bringing gasoline to a nation on fire instead of rising to the occasion as his office requires. The flamethrower is really auditioning for Rapist Joe’s VP spot. These are Democrat cities and Democrat police departments. Complete incompetence. The Terrorist Wing of the Democrat Party was always going to do this. Just needed an excuse. This has nothing to do with Trump. Come on prostestors, mind your social distancing. Funny how covid 19 just went away in the big city blue states. Right blame everything on President Trump. Should we be surprised at that approach? So typical a Democrat response. Just look at the mayors and governors in these cities and states. Weakness and deflection. Meanwhile your cities burn. That’s a wonderful memory of George Floyd.

Trump Has Already Put Himself in No Position to Help Hong KongEven if he wants to, the president has neither the leverage, the diplomatic skill, nor the credibility to stand up to China over its new power grab.
