President Donald Trump is calling for federal racketeering charges against billionaire activist George Soros and his son, Alexander Soros.
Trump made the demand in a post on Truth Social, accusing the Soros family of backing violent protests and radical political movements across the United States.
Trump said the two should face prosecution under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, commonly known as RICO.
“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.
Trump warned that the country can no longer tolerate what he described as destructive activism funded by powerful political donors.
“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,” Trump wrote.
Trump also accused Soros and his allies of damaging the nation through years of political influence and funding for progressive causes.
“Soros, and his group of psychopaths, have caused great damage to our Country,” Trump said.
The president also warned left-wing activists and donors that their actions are being closely watched.
“That includes his Crazy, West Coast friends. Be careful, we’re watching you,” Trump wrote.
The Soros family has long been a major financial force behind Democratic political campaigns and progressive activist groups.
George Soros has spent decades funding organizations that promote criminal justice reform, progressive prosecutors, and left-wing policy initiatives.
Critics say many of the prosecutors backed by Soros have implemented policies that reduce penalties for certain crimes and limit aggressive policing.
Those policies have sparked intense debate among conservatives who argue they contribute to rising crime and weakened law enforcement.
Alexander Soros has increasingly taken over leadership responsibilities within his father’s global network of nonprofit organizations and political foundations.
The younger Soros now plays a growing role in shaping the political strategy of the Open Society Foundations and other Soros-funded initiatives.
The renewed criticism from Trump comes as political tensions remain high across the United States.
The controversy also follows a recent protest in South Florida outside the new headquarters of Palantir Technologies in Aventura.
During the demonstration, a woman struck a piñata resembling Trump while protesters cheered nearby.
The protest targeted Palantir, a government contractor that provides data analysis and artificial intelligence tools used by U.S. military and intelligence agencies.
Among the company’s projects is Project Maven, a program that uses artificial intelligence to help analyze battlefield data and surveillance information.
Fox News reported that records and organizing materials indicate the protest was linked to a broader activist network.
The network reportedly includes organizations connected to wealthy progressive donors, including Soros and businessman Neville Roy Singham, according to the Conservative Brief.
Chuck Flint, president of the Alliance for IRS Accountability and a former assistant prosecutor in Florida, criticized the movement behind the protest.
“This type of fake activism disturbs me,” Flint said.
Flint argued the demonstrations appear to be part of a coordinated campaign targeting American technology companies tied to national defense.
“This is certainly not grassroots activism,” Flint said. “It looks more like a foreign influence operation that is actually weaponizing American tax laws to undermine American national security interests.”
