President Donald Trump is once again making George Soros a centerpiece of his political attacks, calling on Saturday for the billionaire Democratic donor to “be put in jail” and reviving his push to prosecute one of the most prominent financiers of liberal causes.
The president’s remarks came in an interview with NBC News, just days after the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk — an ally whose death has shaken the GOP grassroots. Trump told NBC he wants to see the country “heal,” but added that “we’re dealing with a radical left group of lunatics, and they don’t play fair and they never did.”
Asked specifically about Soros, Trump didn’t hesitate. “He’s a bad guy,” Trump said. “He should be put in jail.”
Soros, 94, has been a longstanding target for Republicans, who cast his philanthropy and political spending as the engine of progressive infrastructure.
Last month, in a fiery Truth Social post, Trump threatened Soros and his son Alexander with RICO charges — a law typically reserved for mob bosses, biker gangs and corrupt enterprises. “George Soros, and his wonderful Radical Left son, should be charged with RICO because of their support of Violent Protests, and much more,” Trump wrote. “Soros, and his group of psychopaths, have caused great damage to our Country.”
He ended the post with a pointed warning: “Be careful, we’re watching you!”
On Friday, Trump leaned in further. Appearing on Fox & Friends, he announced that his administration is “going to look into Soros” for possible RICO violations. That line drew attention given the irony: Trump himself was indicted under the statute in 2023 in a Georgia case alleging election interference.
The Open Society Foundations, the network founded by Soros and now chaired by Alexander Soros, rejected Trump’s accusations outright.
“The Open Society Foundations do not support or fund violent protests. Allegations to the contrary are false, and the threats against our founder and chair are outrageous,” the group said in a statement. “Our mission is to advance human rights, justice, and democratic principles in the United States and around the world. We stand for fundamental freedoms guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.”

Why do we have to have a picture of that being, shown on the front of YWN? If you have to report his actions, maybe show a picture of a trash bin to signify where his ideas belong!

Says the son of a man that sent innocent Jews to their death
ABSOLUTELY. A kapo
trump should put a sock in it. even if you don’t like soros’ politics, if he’s guilty of a crime, let the police and courts prosecute him. slandering someone on social media is cheap and sleazy. and it plays into the antisemitic tropes of dark and sinister forces conspiring to rule the world.
Here is a example of Hashem paying a rasha in this world to be free of him for eternity. No truer meaning of ” the worse anti-semites are Jews”

No, he didn’t. He never did that. Soros is responsible for a lot of damage, but that doesn’t justify lying about him. He was never a nazi, a kapo, an informer for the nazis, or anything else like that. Anyone who claims he was is simply lying, and it’s not OK to lie, even about our enemy.
Trump’s sentiments are correct. Soros is objectively an enemy of the USA and of Israel, and is responsible for much of the damage that has been done to both countries in the last two decades.
However there is nothing he can be sent to prison for. As far as anyone knows neither he nor Alex have ever committed any crimes. RICO doesn’t do nearly as much as people imagine it does. The Soroses have been funding organizations that have been funding riots, but there has never been a direct link, and there’s no way to prove that they intended the riots to happen. Indeed they probably didn’t.
