Trump tweeted:

According to the Anti-Defamation League, Antifa is not an organization, “While most counter-protestors tend to be peaceful, there have been several instances where encounters between Antifa and the far-right have turned violent. These violent counter-protesters are often part of “Antifa” (short for “antifascist”), a loose collection of groups, networks and individuals who believe in active, aggressive opposition to far right-wing movements.”

Trump gets all of his information from Fox News and conservative media, so of course, he thinks that there is an Antifa organization.
