President Trump used a wide-ranging Fox News interview to announce that the radical funding network of George Soros and his equally radical git, Alex, will come under federal scrutiny.

But you know they have professional agitators. They're professional. I had one the other night. I went into a restaurant and this woman stood up. I look at her immediately, she had money, she wasn't...they get paid it, their profession. From Soros and other people. And we’re going to look into Soros, because I think it’s a RICO case against him and other people. Because this is more than like protests. This is real agitation. This is riots in the street. And we're going to look into it.
This is the second time in just a few weeks that Trump has indicated that the Soros family and its shadowy network of subversive and anti-American activities may be under the gun. In a "truth" on his Truth Social platform, Trump said on August 27:
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. 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!
Soros has been a case study in how a massive amount of money and a total divorce from American upbringing can be a massively corrupting influence. In 2023, Soros's Open Society Foundation awarded 2160 grants totalling nearly $1 billion to "progressive" organizations to prepare for the 2024 election. Over the last decade, Soros has helped elect at least 75 hyper-progressive prosecutors who determine how the law is enforced. These prosecutors now control the criminal justice system in jurisdictions that contain 72 million Americans, and the results have been deadly...for the innocent.
As American cities burned during the mostly peaceful George Floyd memorial extravaganza during the summer of 2020, Soros stoked the violence and mayhem by pouring at least $220 million into organizations associated with the Black Lives Matter movement. Astonishingly, his damage to America resulted, not in a lengthy prison sentence or denaturalization, but in being awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Joe Biden.
No one has, so far as I can tell, ever launched a probe of Soros's so-called philanthropies, but it is difficult to imagine that the billions he has not resulted in a non-trivial number of felonious transactions.
Just as putting USAID's money trough out of business undoubtedly prevented widespread leftist demonstrations against many of President Trump's actions and a much more coordinated resistance to ICE's removal operations, demolishing Soros's nonprofit network will also contribute to restoring integrity to many government operations.
