Thu Sep 18 01:00:27 UTC 2025: ## Trump Vows to Label Antifa a Terrorist Organization, Promises Investigation into Funding
**Washington D.C.** – Former President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday his intention to designate the anti-fascist activist group Antifa as a “terrorist organization,” sparking controversy and raising questions about the scope of such a move.
In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump described Antifa as a “sick, dangerous, radical left disaster” and vowed to recommend a thorough investigation into those funding the group. “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 stated.
The announcement comes in the wake of the alleged assassination of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk last week. While investigators have yet to release a motive, some on the right have attributed the killing to leftist ideology. White House officials have vowed to dismantle what they call a “vast domestic terror movement” in response.
It remains unclear precisely what Trump plans to designate, as Antifa is a loosely organized movement without a formal structure, leadership, or membership rolls. Critics argue that such a designation could have broad and potentially chilling effects on free speech and political activism. The announcement is likely to further inflame political tensions and fuel debate over the definition and scope of domestic terrorism.
