George Floyd: Trump To Designate ANTIFA A Terrorist Organisation

As part of the ongoing protests in the United States over the death of George Floyd, US President, Donald Trump, has said that the anti-fascist group, ANTIFA, will be designated a terrorist organisation.

Trump alleged that the group started the protests in the streets decrying the death of George Floyd.

Floyd, an African American, was killed last week after a white police officer rested his knee on his neck despite Floyd's pleas for relief.

In an effort to check the demonstrations in the streets, the National Guard was sent to over 15 states, including the state where Floyd died, Minneapolis. 

On Sunday, Trump tweeted, “The National Guard has been released in Minneapolis to do the job that the Democrat Mayor couldn’t do. Should have been used 2 days ago & there would not have been damage & Police Headquarters would not have been taken over & ruined. Great job by the National Guard. No games!

“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!

“Other Democrat run Cities and States should look at the total shutdown of Radical Left Anarchists in Minneapolis last night. The National Guard did a great job, and should be used in other States before it is too late!

“The United States of America will be designating ANTIFA as a Terrorist Organization.

“The Lamestream Media is doing everything within their power to foment hatred and anarchy. As long as everybody understands what they are doing, that they are FAKE NEWS and truly bad people with a sick agenda, we can easily work through them to GREATNESS!

“Law & Order in Philadelphia, NOW! They are looting stores. Call in our great National Guard like they FINALLY did (thank you President Trump) last night in Minneapolis. Is this what voters want with Sleepy Joe? All Dems!

“Get tough Democrat Mayors and Governors. These people are ANARCHISTS. Call in our National Guard NOW. The World is watching and laughing at you and Sleepy Joe. Is this what America wants? NO!!!.”
