Less than 24 hrs after it went up, Trump's campaign has already pulled the anti-antifa Facebook ad with the red triangle.

The ads now feature stop-signs & yield-signs with the same fear-mongering message about "dangerous MOBS of far-left groups" destroying the country.
Mike Pence is also running the same anti-antifa ads. The red triangle ad is no longer active, but the fear-mongering messaging about "radical" leftists is still being used in other ads that are currently active.
The campaign ads on Facebook link to a petition on Trump's "certified website", which calls on people to stand with him "against the Radical MOB, ANTIFA," and to "support his decision to declare them a Terrorist Organization."

(He hasn't declared that, though...)
The Trump campaign's anti-antifa (so, fascist) ads are targeting middle-age voters, particularly women aged 45-54. The most heavily-targeted states are Florida, California, and Texas.
America First Action (another pro-Trump PAC) is also running fear-mongering ads about antifascists "wreaking havoc" in US cities, as are several pro-gun groups.

The pro-gun groups are using Facebook to call on people to prepare to "take matters into our own hands."
Project56 is running an anti-antifascist Facebook ad claiming that BLM & antifa are an "Anti-American militia" that is illegally occupying territory in the United States."

The ad claims that the protests are not really protests, but rather "an act of war."
Notably, Project56 seems to have changed its name from Project564Liberty to just "Project 56," which refers to a series of nuclear tests carried out by the US.

So yep, just an armed group -- named after nuclear weapons -- calling on people to "take matters into their own hands".
These ads were approved by Facebook, just as Zuckerberg is making the rounds to express his "disgust" over Trump's remarks regarding the protests.

Oh, and FB is also suspending journalists while it accepts $ for ads that promote violent confrontation to stop the protests.
