In a press conference following an extremely Hitlerian display by Stephen Miller and JD Vance at the White House, Donald Trump stated his intentions to declare Antifa - a leaderless antifascist groundswell and general mindset - a domestic terrorist organization.

After that, some asshole who has not yet been identified asked Trump if he would consider ordering the removal of transgender flags from 14th Street in DC on the grounds that they "incite violence". Trump had a positive reaction to the question, but stated that such a removal would probably be challenged on free speech grounds. However, said asshole followed up by stating that the flag is often used by Transtifa - a moniker often used by transgender antifascists - and claimed that means the flag not only incites violence, but represents terrorism.

Trump's somewhat noncommittal stance shifted immediately, and he stated that he believes he can get away with banning the transgender flag based on those grounds.

If he follows through with this, fam, using the transgender flag in any way may very well result in a formal accusation of engaging in domestic terrorism. The future of the flag is most certainly at stake
