Trump Says He Thinks ‘Paid Anarchists’ Run Antifa Because They Have Nice Signs

Trump told the Antifa roundtable he believes there’s big money funding the group that opposes fascism because apparently their signs are too nice for any other explanation.

“When you see the signs, and they’re all made out of beautiful paper, beautiful, nice stiff. Very expensive paper. With beautiful wood handles, they’re all the same. All the same color. They come from very expensive printing machines. These aren’t the people that write out their signs in a basement that believe in something. These are paid anarchists,” he said, offering no evidence to support either his statement or the conclusion he drew from it.

The comments came after he further alleged, also without evidence, that Antifa organizes paid speakers, agitators and anarchists at U.S. universities, all of which is funded by "probably some of the people I dine with."
