"We welcome President Trump’s statements and the growing recognition that the Muslim Brotherhood, its ideology and network pose a serious challenge to the United States and democratic societies," Charles Asher Small, executive director of ISGAP, said in a press release after Trump’s interview with Just the News.
"A formal U.S. designation would represent an important first step to confront the Muslim Brotherhood in the United States. This will require sustained, evidence-based policy, serious scrutiny of its affiliated structures and funding streams, and long-term investment in democratic resilience."

Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment but did not hear back by press time.
"The Brotherhood is the progenitor of all modern Jihadist terror groups, from al-Qaeda to HAMAS," Deputy Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Counterterrorism Sebastian Gorka posted on X over the weekend. "The time has come."
