Trump threatens charges for George Soros, frequent target of far-right ire

George Soros, a billionaire financier and philanthropist who has become a key figure in right-wing conspiracies, has been charged under the presidency of the United States.

Trump made the baseless claim that the president has previously made in a social media post on Tuesday that Soros and his son Alex should be imprisoned for allegedly supporting violent riots in the US.

Trump suggested that they be detained under the federal law known as the “Rico Act,” which is frequently used to combat organized crime.

According to Trump, “George Soros and his wonderful Radical Left son, should be charged with RICO because they support violent protests, and many other things, throughout the United States of America,” the post read.

“Our Country has been severely harmed by Soros and his group of psychopaths”! Those West Coast residents who are crazy are also included. We’re watching you, so be careful.

Viktor Orban, the prime minister of Hungary, and Narendra Modi, the prime minister of India, have supported conspiracy theories that the Soros family had funded riots and politically destabilizing activity in their respective countries.

Trump himself cited that belief as an explanation for the public outcry he faced, including during his first term.

For instance, Trump claimed on social media that Soros was behind the protests against the incoming justice after he nominated Brett Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court in 2018.

Trump wrote at the time, “The very rude elevator screamers are paid professionals who only want to make senators look bad.” Also, take a look at all the identical signs that were created by professionals. Soros and others paid for this. These are not “love signs” made in the basement!

As a Jewish Holocaust survivor, Soros has also been prominently featured in anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.

He is the founder of the Open Society Foundations, a non-profit organization that supports civil society organizations all over the world and promotes criminal justice, education, public health, and democratic governance.

Alex Soros’s elderly father, who is now 95 years old, was in charge of the foundation, according to The Wall Street Journal’s report from June 2023.
