In an executive order today, President Trump declared Antifa a domestic terrorist organization, and said Antifa recruites and trains terrorists.
The fact is, Antifa isn't an organization and has no members. It's a concept. The concept is: Anti-fascism.
There are all kinds of conspiracy theories that Trump knows this and plans to label all his opposition "Antifa." If you're peacefully protesting something Trump likes? Antifa! The administration's penchant for calling peaceful protests "riots," is a clue, because the order targets "organized riots." When riots do occur, they are impromptu, and occur during otherwise peaceful protests. In these events, I believe it's clear that Trump plans to prosecute all peaceful protestors if anything remotely violent occurs during the gathering. I have linked the order below and you can read it on the White House website.
Whether this is Trump's purpose, or not, I believe the arrest of peaceful civilians could be the end result.
