President Donald Trump has intensified his campaign against "the radical left," specifically targeting antifa, which he has declared a terrorist organization. During a White House roundtable, Trump asserted that antifa poses a "serious leftwing terror threat." Experts describe antifa as a decentralized ideology rather than an organized group, with its designation as a terrorist organization viewed by some as a political maneuver. While data suggests rightwing extremism has historically posed a greater threat, leftwing attacks have seen a recent rise.
