United States President Donald Trump has accused “radical leftist” and billionaire George Soros of trying to “rip apart” America by supporting violent protests, deserving of prosecution. Soros, who is a Hungarian-American investor, has long supported various civil movements through his NGOs (nongovernmental organizations) and has repeatedly been linked to protests in the U.S. and other countries.
In a post on his Truth Social account on Wednesday, Trump claimed that Soros and his son, Alexander, should be prosecuted under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), a US federal law typically used to charge members of criminal groups, according to a report by RT.

Soros’s name has also recently resurfaced in connection with the 2016 “Russiagate” smear campaign. Earlier this month, the US Senate Judiciary Committee released a report alleging that OSF had links to the Clinton campaign’s efforts to promote the debunked claims of collusion between Trump and Russia. -RT
If Obama was over the line using the IRS to punish conservatives, Trump is also over the line using RICO to punish Soros and other leftists. It’s never a good look to silence, punish, or attempt to keep down your political opponents. It made Obama look like a tyrant, and it’s certainly making Trump look like one, too. Do you agree? Why or why not?
