This is going to get really interesting, really fast..
I'm not sure why he couldn't just investigate them and arrest them on the down low. He's throwing a grenade on a brush fire..

Is at an actual organization with people publicly and officially acknowledging their roles??

I don’t think that’s required. To me, they just have to be a group that works together to create violence and mayhem for strictly/primarily political reasons. Which they are.

I don’t think so either, was just curious. Throw the book at these fuckers…

Since the link is to CNN, it's easy to see the "Anti Trump bias"
that is the standard at CNN.

It wasn’t immediately clear what mechanism Trump would use to make the designation, and Antifa lacks centralized structure or defined leadership, making it unclear who or what precisely would be targeted.
