Trump Labels Antifa a Terrorist Organization Amid Political Debate

TL;DR Summary
US President Donald Trump has announced plans to designate Antifa as a 'major terrorist organisation,' citing concerns over its activities, though experts question the legal feasibility due to the group's decentralized nature and First Amendment protections. Antifa, a loosely affiliated leftist movement opposing far-right groups, has been associated with confrontations and violence, but its structure makes formal designation challenging. Trump's move follows his broader campaign against the 'radical left' amid ongoing political violence debates in the US.
