"George 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, Trump wrote in the post. Soros, and his group of psychopaths, have caused great damage to our Country! That includes his Crazy, West Coast friends. Be careful, we're watching you!"
"Various right-wing figures, including Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, have embraced conspiracy theories that the Soros family secretly funded riots and politically destabilising activity in their countries. Trump himself has cited that belief to explain public protests he encountered, including during his first term. After he nominated Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court in 2018, for example, Trump alleged on social media that the protests against the future justice were funded by Soros."
President Donald Trump posted a baseless claim that George Soros and his son Alex funded violent protests in the United States and should face criminal charges. Trump recommended charging them under the RICO Act, a federal law used against organized crime. The post included inflammatory language accusing Soros and associates of causing great damage. Right-wing leaders such as Viktor Orban and Narendra Modi have similarly embraced conspiracies alleging Soros-funded destabilization. Trump has previously blamed Soros for funding protests, including demonstrations after the Brett Kavanaugh nomination. Soros, a Jewish Holocaust survivor, is often targeted by antisemitic conspiracy theories.
