George Soros calls Trump a 'would-be dictator' who 'is going to fail'

George Soros thinks President-elect Donald Trump will fail — and that will be just fine with the billionaire investor and supporter of progressive causes.

"I personally am convinced that he is going to fail," Soros told Bloomberg during an interview at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Failure will come "not because of people like me who would like him to fail, but because his ideas that guide him are inherently self-contradictory and the contradictions are already embodied by his advisors."

that we shouldn't be wishing for him to fail. I told her that success for DT would probably be worse than failure when it comes to the harm he will do to our country.

Trump is not sane and reckless - he can't succeed in a job where compromise is essential to success.
