Trump Declares ‘Antifa’ a Terrorist Organization: Political Ramifications and Reactions in the US
Former US President Donald Trump has once again drawn public attention with his unconventional statements concerning the country’s internal security.
In the wake of massive protests following the tragic killing of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, the politician announced his intention to intensify actions against leftist groups and labeled the movement ‘Antifa’ as a ‘terrorist organization.’ This designation has sparked ongoing debates about its legal legitimacy and impact on free speech and civil liberties.
Trump also called for investigations into the funding sources of the movement.
Experts emphasize that ANTIFA is primarily an informal ideological movement lacking centralized leadership, which complicates the application of traditional legal measures.
Meanwhile, in response to the tragedy, the widow of the deceased activist vowed to continue fighting for justice.
Additionally, US authorities are preparing a new executive order aimed at counteracting political violence and hate speech, with Vice President D.
Vance blaming ‘leftist political radicalization’ for creating the conditions for violence.
Trump also hints at deploying the National Guard in yet another city, signaling a possible third intervention.
Furthermore, he plans to sue The New York Times for $15 billion, marking an escalation in the political crisis and internal conflicts facing the US, highlighting the delicate nature of internal security issues and the importance of safeguarding free speech and civil rights amid contemporary challenges.
