In an extraordinary public press conference held Wednesday in the White House, fascist President Donald Trump declared the full force of the US government will be brought down on alleged “antifa” elements. “Antifa,” short for “antifacism,” is not an organized political group but a broad set of beliefs generally centered on defense of democratic rights against right-wing state oppression.
During his press conference, Trump again claimed the previous two presidential elections were rigged and suggested that the 2026 midterm elections would also be slanted against him. Answering a question by a fascist reporter if “antifa infiltrated on January 6 dressed up like Trump supporters and incited violence,” Trump reaffirmed the bogus conspiracy theory. “Well I have heard that, they are fresh out of MAGA but they have nothing to do with MAGA and they make trouble and they try and blame. Yeah, we know some of that and we will be acting on some of that.”
Trump, backed by numerous cabinet officials, neo-Nazis and white supremacists, characterized all opposition to ongoing federal immigration kidnapping operations as “illegal” and claimed that a “well-financed” and vast network of “left-wing terror” was behind the protests against his administration. Protests attended by millions of people this year, including the massive June 14 “No Kings” demonstrations, were not expressions of popular opposition to dictatorship but “paid protests” funded by domestic and foreign organizations, the administration claims.
Organizations and groups that were named as major antifa allies or accomplices by right-wing reporters invited to the White House included the Democratic Socialists of America, antiwar protest group CODEPINK, and Stop the Sweeps, a group that organizes against police sweeps of unhoused people. The latter was branded by a Turning Point USA lackey as an arm of the “homeless industrial complex.”
As was the case with his September 22 Executive Order, which declared “antifa” a domestic terrorist organization, Trump claimed in Wednesday’s event that all instances of violence against ICE officials, police and the killing of Charlie Kirk were the result of “antifa.” He claimed “antifa anarchists” were “paid provocateurs,” who were being “paid by people I dine with.” Trump repeatedly thanked Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent for cooperating with the administration in uncovering alleged “antifa funding” networks.
Defending rampant ICE violence across the country, Trump claimed, “Everything we are doing is very lawful, what they are doing is not lawful.” Threatening not only “antifa” but Democratic elected officials that do not fully embrace his mass deportation operation and military occupations, Trump added, “What the governor and mayor of ... Portland, and you can certainly say of Chicago is not lawful what they are doing.” The mafioso president added, “They have to be very careful.”
Belching out his, and the US ruling class’s, contempt for democratic rights, Trump admitted, “We took the freedom of speech away because that’s been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech ... but when you burn a flag it agitates ... so we are going on that basis.”...
