President Donald Trump said that officials are mulling designating Antifa a terror group ahead of a planned rally in Portland that officials feared would devolve into violence.
“Major consideration is being given to naming ANTIFA an ‘ORGANIZATION OF TERROR.’ Portland is being watched very closely. Hopefully, the Mayor will be able to properly do his job!” Trump wrote on Twitter on Saturday, Aug. 17. He said last month that Antifa is full of “gutless Radical Left Wack Jobs who go around hitting (only non-fighters) people over the heads with baseball bats.”
