I am hereby formally designating Antifa an elephant.

While I'm at it, there are some other designations I would like to make.

I am formally designating the elephant as an endangered species in the mid-Atlantic states.

I am designating the mid-Atlantic states of the United States of America a federal disaster area.

I am designating my dog, Gurgi, an official hero of the realm.

And I am designating both @steve_vladeck and @hannahneprash as bank. You can send them your money now.

All of these designations have exactly as much legal meaning and force as the president declaring that a domestic group is a terrorist organization.

Any questions?
