Bc. Martin Zilvar, Masaryk University, Faculty of Social Studies, Department of Politology

The objective of the article is to describe the relationship between Trump’s administration and paramilitary militias. The main emphasis is given to the most important milestones of Trump’s mandate which are observed through President Trump’s statements and behaviour of militias. The article also conceptualizes a paramilitary militia term which is often, thanks to its ambiguity, inadequately interpreted. Secondarily, it tries to find any tools constraining existence of militias in the United States of America at federal or state level.

Key words: paramilitary militia, president Trump, existence, Oath Keepers, Three Percenters, violence, organization.
