Strategically, this allows Trump to get his ad taken down by facebook, which has previously not done so. That means he now can claim some kind of conspiracy against him. If the story does not grow big, that's the end of it, and a small win for Trump.
If the story grows, then it will become less about the symbol (which is at least somewhat obscure) and more about antifa. The more the conversation is about antifa, and the less about unnecessary police violence, the better for Trump.
Honestly, I don't think FB should have taken down the ad. I don't see what it really accomplishes. The fact is that Trump has his own audience. The more media companies fight for control, the more they just make a silo of themselves and prevent any real trust or dialogue between voters in opposite parties.
