Donald Trump's designation of Antifa as a terrorist organisation causes online meltdown

U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order designating the antifa movement as a "domestic terrorist organization," the White House said on Monday, after promising actions targeting left-wing groups following Charlie Kirk's assassination, reports Yahoo News.

The White House issued the following statement from its website, "President Donald J. Trump is right: the violence problem is on the Left. That's why he just designated Antifa - a network of Radical Left terrorists that aim to overthrow the government through violence and agitation - as a domestic terrorist organization."

"Antifa's terror is part of the trend of Radical Left violence that has permeated the nation in recent years, incited by constant lies and vicious attacks against Republicans from unhinged Democrat politicians, well-funded leftist organizations, and their allies in the media.

"This is a time that demands fearless and courageous leadership - not moral cowardice, indecision, or the lack of fortitude to call this what it is: an epidemic of Radical Left violence."
