Trump counterterrorism strategy targets 'violent left-wing extremists' with 'transgender ideology'
Source: Politico
“Violent left-wing extremists” and “extremist transgender ideology” are among the most concerning threats facing the country, according to the Trump administration counterterrorism strategy released Wednesday.
The strategy, the first released in President Donald Trump’s second term, underscores how Trump’s priorities differ from predecessors, listing “violent left-wing extremists” as one of its top three focuses, alongside “narcoterrorists” and “Islamist terrorists.”

“It’s also about the ideology, whether it’s against Western Civilization, America, the U.S. Constitution, our friends, our allies, peace in general, you fit under that rubric,” he said.
“Our national counterterrorism activities will prioritize the rapid identification and neutralization of violent, secular political groups whose ideology is anti-American, radically pro-gender or anarchist such as antifa, we will use all the tools constitutionally available to us to map them at home, identify their membership, map their ties to international organizations,” Gorka said of the modes the administration will use to target the left-wing groups.

A strong case could be made that Trump is currently the greatest threat to "Western Civilization, America, the U.S. Constitution, our friends, our allies, peace in general."
Good American lawyers could make that case. So could our friends and allies.
Our traditional friends and allies, anyway. Not Trump's authoritarian pals.

Transgender Ideology. 
is that?
BTW is Gorka still wearing Hungarian Nazi pins and does he still believe that the holocaust
was made up?
You know who is a terrorist? Donald Trump. 
derived statement to get the MAGA base's blood boiling before elections. In reality, it means absolutely nothing, but it's always played well before. They're bringing it out early this year because the Party of Trump is under water in opinion polls. 
and other "social" issues are being rolled out again as the republican platform for the November elections. They always do this to get their "base" wound-up tighter than a $3 wristwatch before elections. 
Soon, it will be time to bring back the "caravans" of illegals heading for our southern border again.
I'm giddy with excitement.
