We cannot defeat our enemies if we are afraid to name them.

The name Antifa will never cross his trebling lips, he will do what Ivanka and Jared tell him to do, and that is to appease.

Trump’s White House statement this morning was a pitiful surrender to the Left.

And Trump’s groveling statements about racial hatred mean that Trump’s immigration campaign promises will never be carried out.

Seems to me the antifa, which are just radical hippie and anarchist types rolled into one who are the byproduct of the Occupy movement, should be called something else.

A name needs to be made that accurately depicts them.

Wait! What about “domestic terrorists” or just plain “anarchists” with a flare for terrorism and mob rioting behavior. Hmmm... naw; too long. A-Holes is too vague because that could mean the entire leftist population.

“Obama’s boys”? “Petty Peter Puffers”? “The Soros Gang”? I guess I’ll have to keep working on it while hoping someone comes up with a good catchy name for this street gang of anarchists with no name.

These are minnows. The prize winning bass is Soros and maybe other self loathing fools on his level. If Trump had no other success record we might think this wrong. But if we focused wrath on BLM and Antifa but forgot Soros we might win battles while still losing war.

When is the federal government going to declare Antifa a Terrorist Organization?

Their modus operandi is to use violence to further a political agenda.

This is not a Trump item, it is a DOJ Jeff Sessions item.

These terrorists are currently infiltrating and destroying the culture and history of the South and those who fight against it are the only ones who are attacked by the media.

When will Trump use the words Antifa and BLM?

His "inside the beltway, go along to get along, GOPe advisors" would never, ever allow that!

Stay armed and at the ready! We have no one looking out for us! Even the cops are "Serving & Retreating" or "Serving & Ignoring"! Certainly not "Serving & Protecting"!

I’m very disappointed with President Trump in all of this.

The white nationalists, which somehow morphed into white supremacists along the way, were exercising their Constitutionally-guaranteed rights of assembly and free speech; whether or not one approves of their message. They even had the support of the courts for this event.

Consistent with their past behavior, Antifa and BLM sought to deny these rights—violently.

Yet, President Trump, bowing to pressure from the Left/media, calls out and criticizes the groups playing by the rules by name.

Very troubling on many levels.

And, no matter what, nothing Trump does will ever satisfy the DIMS.

He lost on this one.

Whoever counseled Trump to name names yesterday and excluded “Antifa” and BLM was either a dolt or was kowtowing to the Leftists. Those two groups are more hateful and violent than any of the knucklehead groups that the enemedia is trying to associate with conservatives. Trump got bad advice by leaving those two groups unnamed. Either that or he buckled.

Trump should start a national dialogue on whether paid armies of anti thugs are lawful in the US.

I would venture that not 10% of the US population even knows about the Soros army.

Trump is wavering visibly. Everyone is screaming at him to fire Bannoo, when Bannon seems to be all he has left in White House (beside Miller). . McMaster has fired many Trumpists and Mooch is going on all the talk shows screamning how Bannon has to go. More and more pundits are telling Trump to fire him, so now he is supposedly in internal exile; hasn’t seen the President in over a week.

So, if Bannon goes, Trump will be totally isolated, then it is the beginning of the end. The Trump movement is at its end. And the GOPe, Deep State, Dems and media wiull breath a sign of relief.

Yo - concern trolls. Want others to do things the way you want them to do it? Ask yourselves, "What have I done other than blow smoke and call it incense"?

Lots of bitchers/moaners/whiners that never seem to actually invest themselves in what they profess to believe in.

Here's an easy way to start and maybe gain some credibility...

Thank you for spelling out a big problem. No one is naming the worst protestors. The ones who advocate violence, the ones who display the red flag with hammer an sickle, the ones who are extremists - the professional protesters known as antifa.

And the BLM is in lockstep with them.

Thanks to the folks surrounding him, Trump is being consumed by the swamp. His failure to point out that Antifa, funded by the RATS and the Soros slime were there to prevent the white nationalists from protesting the removal of the Robert E Lee monument. There are a lot of Americans who are pissed and thoroughly disgusted with the actions of these left wing anti Trump, anti US, seditionists, and commies. Time for Trump to speak out against the anti left scum.
Even last night on his return to Trump Tower, thousands showed up in an organized protest. Wake up Trump.

Trump (and others) need to highlight specific videos of specific acts of violence. The video should be just a couple seconds... but with the full footage readily available and confirming the context for the short extract.

Then Trump (and others) should comment on those acts of violence and state that violence by Antifa, Violence by Martians, Violence by anyone is unacceptable, regardless of the seriousness or absurdity of their agenda.

90% of the public has no friggin clue what Antifa is.

BLM is divided between violent thugs and morons like Kaperdink who just like to run their mouths.

Some public education has to take place here first.

He needs to call them out for who they are, not who they claim they are.

They are Brown-shirts, Communists, Fascists, Radical Leftists, Anti-Americans, and Anarchists and they need to be referred to as such. He can take his pick of any of those descriptions. All of them fit.
