In two of his previous tweets from over the weekend, Trump had indicated that he believes Antifa is directly tied to the ongoing protests.

It’s ANTIFA and the Radical Left. Don’t lay the blame on others!

Congratulations to our National Guard for the great job they did immediately upon arriving in Minneapolis, Minnesota, last night. The ANTIFA led anarchists, among others, were shut down quickly. Should have been done by Mayor on first night and there would have been no trouble!

A terrorist designation allows law enforcement to approach the investigation of incidents by the group differently.

“This is a big deal because it will allow the United States to legally mobilize anti-terrorism law enforcement efforts, begin investigating roots and cells and use appropriate force to protect American communities from the organized terrorism of this communist-backed group.”
