    It just personally bothers me how trump says AnTEEFa, and how everybody else says it like that now

        I say it more like An-tee-FAH. Stress on the third syllable, just like in An-tee-FAH-shist.

        I think the confusion comes from the fact that in English the stress is by default on the second-to-last syllable (AnTIfa, AntiFAscist), and we don't use accent marks to indicate where the stress "should" be.
