Olivia Troy - Trump's "Antifa Terrorists" and Jimmy Kimmel's Silencing

Donald Trump loves a show of force. On Wednesday night, he pounded out a caps-lock declaration on Truth Social:

“I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION.”


It sounds decisive. It’s meant to scare. But here’s the problem: there is no such thing as designating a U.S. movement as a terrorist organization. I know. I used to sit in the meetings where we weighed terrorist designations against groups like al-Shabaab or Lashkar-e-Tayyiba. There’s a clear legal process for foreign organizations. Nothing equivalent exists for domestic ones.

This isn’t counterterrorism. It’s campaign politics in camouflage.
