Trump says George Soros, son should be slapped with RICO charges

President Donald Trump spoke out against billionaire progressive philanthropist George Soros, whose Open Society Foundation has been behind funding many leftist causes. Trump said he and his son Alex should be charged under RICO laws.

"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. We’re not going to allow these lunatics to rip apart America any more, never giving it so much as a chance to 'BREATHE,' and be FREE.

"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! Thank you for your attention to this matter!" Trump said.

Soros is a Hungarian-born investor who has taken his money and used it to back activist causes for the left. The Open Society Foundation was founded in 1979 and has had its fingers in cultural movements worldwide.

The mission is stated as: "The Open Society Foundations champion the search for bold, democratic solutions to our urgent, common challenges that advance rights, equity, and justice. We do this by supporting a wide array of independent voices and organizations around the world that provide a creative and dynamic link between the governing and the governed.

"Our approach seeks to counter the narrow pursuit of political self-interest and short-term opportunism—in pursuit of a sustainable future for people and planet that leaves no one behind."

Influence Watch says that Soros "advocates for regulations to expand the role of the federal government in the United States, ostensibly to reduce market instability." They also state that "Soros has funded the vast majority of the most prominent left-progressive advocacy groups in the United States."
