Trump Threatens Criminal Charges Against Top Democratic Donor

Source: Rolling Stone

President Donald Trump is continuing to transform the Justice Department into a tool for vengeance against his political enemies, including billionaire philanthropist and Democratic donor George Soros.

“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 Wednesday on Truth Social, referencing conspiracy theories claiming that Soros and his philanthropic group, the Open Society Foundation, pay money to and supply violent protesters.

“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!” Trump added.

Soros has long been a boogeyman for right wingers, who have — for decades at this point — made the Jewish investor the centerpiece of antisemitic conspiracy theories, as well as other conspiracies claiming his financial support of pro-Democracy organizations is actually part of an effort to destroy “western civilization.”

I'm sure somebody shared it on either Facebook or DU. I'm not on FB anymore, so my bet is DU.

In his latest attack demonizing George Soros, Trump reveals an even darker phase of his autocratic plans. He has made many remarks about paid leftist protesters and so-called crisis actors. And he is mindful of The Apprentice in his use of stagecraft to portray the bogeyman image of the violent protester. So when there are increasing nationwide mass protests against his regime, he will begin to plant squads of his paid goons among them to foment violence to provide the pretext for a more deadly crackdown on legitimate protesters.
