President Donald Trump has designated antifa as a “major terrorist organization” and said anyone funding the movement would be investigated.

“I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A. Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION,” Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform.

“I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices,” he said.

Antifa, which is short for “anti-fascists,” is a left-wing, anti-fascist and anti-racist political movement in the United States.
