President Donald Trump is truly an American treasure, and one need not look any further than this recent exchange between him and an NPR reporter about his labeling Antifa a terrorist organization as proof of that fact.
Set aside the point that this exchange is going to cause those on the left to have a meltdown, which they are already doing over the indefinite suspension of Jimmy Kimmel. Trump just sent a warning to NPR and legacy media outlets that he's going to get to the bottom of who/what is providing support to this far-left group.

The following exchange took place on Air Force One on Trump's return trip home from the United Kingdom.
Here's the clip:
🚨 LMAO! Funniest president EVER.

REPORTER: "Regarding Antifa being a terrorist organization...."
TRUMP: "Who are you with?"
REPORTER: "NPR..."
TRUMP: "😂 NPR? I thought they were gone. They're still here? Oh, good. Congratulations. Not for long..."
REPORTER: "How do you… pic.twitter.com/l6McFD5VuD
"Regarding Antifa being a terrorist organization....," the reporter asked.
"Who are you with?" Trump replied.
"NPR..," the reporter answered.
"NPR? I thought they were gone. Are they still here? Oh, good. Congratulations, won't be for long..."Trump hilariously said.
The reporter continued to press the president and asked, "Regarding designating them [Antifa] as a terrorist organization when they don't have defined leadership or membership. How do you target [Antifa] them?"
"We're going to find out. We are going to see. People have been talking about them for a long time. We're going to see. Did they have anything to do with your network, Antifa?" Trump asked.
"No," the reporter said, before President Trump came back with another zinger, "Ok...well, we're gonna find out."
It comes after President Trump posted about designating the anti-fascist movement Antifa a terrorist group. It happened during his and the First Lady Melania Trump's historic trip to the UK when he posted on his Truth Social early Thursday morning.

His post on social media read:
"I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A. Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION," Trump wrote Thursday. "I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
RedState's Bob Hoge reported on Trump's move, and he detailed some of the mayhem and violence conducted by the radical leftist group.
Hoge wrote:
Antifa basically owns Portland and has directed hundreds of nights of violence and protest in the Northwest city, including taking over and vandalizing a federal courthouse during the George Floyd riots. The [former President Joe] Biden administration was nowhere to be seen, and didn't care.
Antifa has been a shadowy, sinister organization that has somehow escaped more serious scrutiny in the past. Where have you been, Southern Poverty Law Center? They refuse to classify them as a hate group despite giving that designation to PragerU, Focus on the Family, and Libs of TikTok operator Chaya Raichik. Seriously?
How this violent group has been allowed to operate so long, seemingly unfettered, is beyond me. It may be long past due, but Trump is right to recognize them for what they are—violent extremists who are only too happy to dress up in black clothes and bring mayhem and destruction. While Antifa is considered a "nebulous social group," and therefore hard to crack down on, it's time for them to receive a reality check.

I, too, am unsure how Trump is going to do this, but the fact that the far-left group has run unchecked for so long means it is well beyond time the right does something about them.
