Trump Demands George Soros, Son Face Federal Charges
President Donald Trump is calling for federal racketeering charges against Democratic megadonor George Soros and his son, Alexander, according to a social media post on Wednesday.
“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 on Truth Social.
“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 added.
Alex Soros has begun taking over his father’s foundation operations.
Both have drawn significant attacks from MAGA Republicans for his long history of financial support for Democrats and left-wing causes such as backing and helping elect local prosecutors who refuse to crack down on dangerous career criminals.
Former President Joe Biden awarded George Soros with the Presidential Medal of Freedom — the nation’s highest civilian honor — shortly before leaving the White House in January.
As U.S. and Israeli forces continued joint military strikes against Iran earlier this week, a small protest took place in South Florida outside the new headquarters of Palantir Technologies. During the demonstration in Aventura, a woman struck a piñata resembling Trump while several attendees watched and applauded.
The protest occurred outside Palantir’s facility near Miami. The company is a government contractor that supports U.S. military and law enforcement operations through data analytics and artificial intelligence tools.
Among its projects is Project Maven, which uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to analyze large volumes of data for military targeting and surveillance purposes. As Fox News noted further:
There, hammering away at the piñata was Britney Cooke, a member of the All-African People’s Revolutionary Party, a pro-China group that openly says it wants an “international socialist revolution.”
It has railed against “US hegemony” and the “American empire” and advocated for an “anti-imperialist mass revolutionary movement” in the U.S. from within the “belly of the beast.”
While local coverage framed the gathering as “a crowd” of “protesters” with “plenty of passion,” a Fox News Digital review of nonprofit filings, grant records and organizing materials indicates the event was orchestrated by groups operating within a sophisticated, donor-backed protest network with ties to far-left tycoons George Soros and Neville Roy Singham.
The findings raise important questions about how coordinated activist campaigns—led by organizations such as the Party for Socialism and Liberation, which openly oppose U.S. “imperialism” and support foreign adversarial regimes—are mobilizing against American military contractors. This is happening amid escalating conflicts abroad and increasing technological competition with China.
A spokesperson for Palantir declined to comment, and Singham did not respond to Fox News’ requests for comment.
“This type of fake activism disturbs me,” Chuck Flint, president of the Alliance for IRS Accountability and a former assistant prosecutor in Florida, told Fox. “These groups are helping China and hurting the United States.”
“This is certainly not grassroots activism,” Flint added. “It looks more like a foreign influence operation that is actually weaponizing American tax laws to undermine American national security interests.”
With the help of Soros, apparently.
He noted, “It’s coming at a time when U.S. troops are relying on Palantir technology in active combat right now.”
The activities supporting these campaigns illustrate what experts call a well-organized protest infrastructure. This includes tax-exempt nonprofit organizations, digital messaging toolkits, and coordinated protest actions in various cities, all backed by shared leadership, research, messaging, and organizing efforts.
“As China wages an AI race with the U.S., the network has also supported regimes with well-documented histories of aggressive surveillance of their citizens and suppression of human rights,” Fox added.
Obama Accuses JD Vance Of Promoting ‘Blood And Soil’ Politics
Former President Barack Obama rarely mentions Vice President JD Vance by name, but that changed this week with one of his sharpest public attacks since Vance took office.
The comments immediately fueled speculation that Democrats are beginning to focus more attention on the vice president as Republicans look ahead to the post-Trump era.
Speaking Thursday during a conversation with author Malcolm Gladwell, Obama accused Vance of promoting what he described as a “blood and soil” vision of America, despite being married to Usha Vance, the daughter of Indian immigrants.
Obama made the remarks while discussing the Reconstruction era and arguing that many of the same debates over citizenship, voting rights and national identity continue today.
“We have a politics now that at least one of our major parties has been captured by politics that is not that subtle about suggesting that ‘We the people’ means a certain kind of people,” Obama said.
“When you have the vice president, current vice president, making a speech that is basically a blood and soil version of ‘We the people,’ that it matters who your parents were and how long they’ve been here despite him being married to a daughter of an immigrant himself.”
The phrase “blood and soil” is historically associated with Nazi Germany and white nationalist ideology.
Obama went on to argue that debates over who belongs in America remain central to the nation’s politics.
“That echoes, then, ideas about who can be a citizen, who belongs, who gets to make decisions,” he said.
Gladwell followed by accusing Vance of hypocrisy, arguing that the vice president was making what he called a nativist argument despite his own family’s immigrant background.
Obama agreed.
“That is progress,” Obama said.
“Listen, hypocrisy is progress. It is, because it means that you feel guilty enough to either lie to yourself or others.”
Fox News Digital reported that it reached out to Vance’s office for comment.
Obama did not identify the specific speech he was criticizing, but Vance’s most recent nationally televised remarks came during Independence Day celebrations marking America’s 250th birthday.
In that speech, Vance encouraged Americans to reject what he called a “two-dimensional view” of the country focused only on its historical failures.
“So what I’d ask you to do, my fellow Americans, on our 250th birthday, is to reject the two-dimensional view of your fellow citizens and reject the two-dimensional view of your country,” Vance said.
“Reject the view of your nation that sees only its sins, but not its grace and its greatness.”
He also emphasized that America’s accomplishments were achieved by “a common people working towards a common future.”
Obama has generally avoided making Vance a regular target since the vice president took office.
One notable exception came during the 2024 presidential campaign when then-Vice President Kamala Harris selected Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate.
Without naming Vance directly, Obama contrasted Harris’ choice with the Republican ticket.
“When a presidential candidate chooses a running mate, it says a lot about who they are and what kind of president they’ll be,” Obama said at the time, Fox News reported.
Political observers have increasingly discussed Vance as a potential frontrunner for the 2028 Republican presidential nomination, though he has not announced any plans to run.
Against that backdrop, Obama’s unusually direct criticism is likely to fuel speculation that some Democrats are beginning to sharpen their message against a politician they view as a likely future standard-bearer for the Republican Party. While no Democratic leaders have publicly described their strategy in those terms, prominent figures often begin drawing contrasts with potential future rivals well before a presidential campaign officially begins.
Whether that proves to be the case remains to be seen, but Obama’s remarks marked one of his most pointed critiques of Vance to date and ensured the vice president once again found himself at the center of the national political conversation.
