Washington DC, on September 17, 2025, President Donald Trump stunned the nation by designating the far-left Antifa movement a “major terrorist organization,” vowing to crush its influence in a fiery Truth Social post. From Bergen County to Utah, this bold action follows the assassination of conservative icon Charlie Kirk, with Trump targeting Antifa’s funders and signaling a broader war on radical left groups.
Trump’s Declaration: Antifa Labeled a Terrorist Threat
In a late-night Truth Social post on September 17, 2025, while attending a state dinner in the UK, President Trump announced, “I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION.” He vowed to “strongly recommend” investigations into Antifa’s funders, promising probes “in accordance with the highest legal standards.” The move, hinted at earlier in the week, lacks clarity on implementation due to Antifa’s decentralized structure, but signals a hardline stance against left-wing extremism. Bergen County conservatives, from Ridgewood to Paramus, are rallying behind Trump’s call for action.
Charlie Kirk’s Assassination: Catalyst for Action
The designation follows the September 10, 2025, killing of Charlie Kirk, a Trump ally and Turning Point USA co-founder, shot by 22-year-old Tyler Robinson at Utah Valley University. Trump pinned the blame on the “radical left,” citing Kirk’s murder as evidence of Antifa’s dangerous influence. Utah prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for Robinson, while NJ memorials, like Hasbrouck Heights’ September 17 vigil, honor Kirk’s legacy. Trump’s administration hints at targeting other left-wing groups, with officials claiming ongoing probes into organizations inciting violence.
Why It Matters: NJ’s Role in the Fight
Bergen County, a hub of conservative activism with events like Westwood’s upcoming Kirk vigil, stands at the forefront of this battle. Antifa’s lack of leadership makes it a slippery target, but Trump’s designation could empower federal action against its networks, especially in NJ cities like Paterson, already under scrutiny for sanctuary policies. The move aligns with Trump’s broader push against media bias, seen in his $15 billion New York Times lawsuit, and resonates with NJ residents demanding safety amid rising crime.
