President Donald Trump took direct aim at billionaire financier George Soros and his son Alex in a fiery Truth Social post on Wednesday, accusing the pair of fueling radical left-wing unrest across the country and hinting at potential RICO charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cGeorge Soros, and his wonderful Radical Left son, should be charged with RICO because of their support of Violent Protests, and much more, all throughout the United States of America,\u201d Trump wrote. \u201cWe\u2019re not going to allow these lunatics to rip apart America any more, never giving it so much as a chance to \u2018BREATHE,\u2019 and be FREE. Soros, and his group of psychopaths, have caused great damage to our Country! That includes his Crazy, West Coast friends.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Trump concluded with a warning: \u201cBe careful, we\u2019re watching you!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who Are the Soroses?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
George Soros, a Hungarian-born billionaire, is one of the Democratic Party\u2019s largest donors and has been financing progressive causes for decades. His global influence has been tied to left-wing prosecutors, liberal DA races, and activist organizations that critics say undermine law and order in American cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2023, Soros handed control of his vast empire\u2014including the Open Society Foundation\u2014to his son, Alex Soros, who has pledged to continue funding progressive causes, often with an even more openly partisan edge. Alex has boasted of his close ties to the Biden White House and prominent Democrats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Soros network has poured hundreds of millions of dollars into elections and activist groups, often tipping the balance in favor of left-leaning candidates. Many on the Right argue this influence has led to skyrocketing crime rates, attacks on free speech, and deepening divisions in American society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump\u2019s threat comes less than a week after his\u00a0FBI raided\u00a0his foreign policy adviser-turned-critic\u00a0John Bolton\u2019s\u00a0home and office as part of what he slammed as a politically motivated investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bolton, who was national security adviser from 2018 to 2019, has often clashed with Trump since leaving the administration. The raid on his home marked a significant escalation in tensions between the former president and his one-time adviser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When asked about the raid, Trump told reporters at the White House on Friday that he was not informed ahead of time but expected a briefing later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
