Trump wants no obstacles in the way for the White Supremacists and Neo Nazis to go on the chants that "the Jews Will Not Replace Us". Then he wants to call them "Fine Guys"!!
It will be interesting to see how they define a disorganized collection of individuals as a terrorist group. This new thought-crime measure Donny's thunk up will empower his Political Police to charge them as members of … … Of what exactly?

If I have to take sides between white extremists/neo-Nazis and the anti fascism crowd, I'd back antifa.
White extremists were responsible for every terrorist killing in the US in 2018 while all antifa has done is protest agains the type of neo-Nazi that drives their car into crowds of protesters.
You picking the terrorists?
Led by the "Gang of Four" (Squad), left wing terrorism could be making a comeback. We've already seen violence at G8 and G20 meetings (even right here in Toronto.)
"Modern left-wing terrorist groups in the United States developed from remnants of the Weather Underground and extremist elements of the Students for a Democratic Society. Between 1973 and 1975, the Symbionese Liberation Army was active, committing bank robberies, murders, and other acts of violence.[11] Other terrorist groups such as the small New World Liberation Front resorted to death threats, drive-by shootings and planting of pipe-bombs in the late 1970s.[12] During the 1980s, both the May 19th Communist Organization (M19CO) and the smaller United Freedom Front were active. After 1985, following the dismantling of both groups, one source reports there were no confirmed acts of left-wing terrorism by similar groups.[13]
Incidents of left-wing terrorism dropped off at the end of the Cold War (circa 1989), partly due to the loss of support for communism.[14]"

Antifa is not the answer though.
They actually exacerbate the problem.
Extreme breeds extreme and then it's just back and forth.
Antifa seems only to come out in response to neo-Nazis.
And neo-Nazi's marching does demand a response.
You cannot prosecute in America for "hate". But, piling terrorism charges on top of common assault has real teeth.
There are very very few neo-nazis the stereotypical kind. It seems like more because the left now labels many cons and others who don't vote for them ones. There are way more antifa radicals sjws than neo-nazis at least in the north. I cant recall ever seeing someone walking on the street with a swastika armband. Unlike the alt-right antifa is trying to destabilize the system.
I classify them as hate groups as well although marginal on the fringes. Whereas Antifa is far more mainstream.
This label-assigning stuff is always hard to follow: Doesn't that mean they're closer to the opinions of most people? Like growing towards majority? Isn't democracy supposed to be about such groupings and growing them?
Maybe the left is gonna get a taste of their own medicine theyll see how it feels when their freedom of speech rights are takin away if trump bans antifa itll mean any online support for them will become supporting terrorist activity that can be prosecuted
