President Donald Trump on Wednesday trained his sights on left-wing megadonor George Soros and the Open Society empire he’s spent decades building, warning that the days of bankrolling chaos with impunity are over. In a blistering Truth Social post, Trump accused Soros — along with his son and successor Alexander — of backing groups tied to violent demonstrations across the country and said their network could face racketeering exposure. “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, adding a stark coda: “Be careful, we’re watching you!”

The 95-year-old billionaire has poured tens of millions into progressive causes through his Open Society Foundations, funding a sprawling constellation of nonprofits that push the activist left’s agenda from the streets to courthouse steps. With Soros passing the torch to Alexander in recent years, the machine hasn’t slowed — it’s merely rebranded, expanding influence operations while insisting it backs only “peaceful protest.”

That insistence was tested again after revelations that Open Society financially supported Community Change and Community Change Action — organizations that helped fuel “Free DC,” a protest hub aligned against Trump’s agenda. The White House’s line is straightforward: if you underwrite the infrastructure that mobilizes and coordinates the unrest, you own the results. Trump framed it just that way, blasting “Soros, and his group of psychopaths,” and calling out their “Crazy, West Coast friends” who’ve helped export big-city lawlessness nationwide.

Open Society raced to distance itself from any hint of violence. “We do not support or fund violent protests,” a spokesperson told the National News Desk, claiming the foundation’s mission is to “advance human rights, justice, and democratic principles” and that all grantees must follow the law. They emphasized OSF doesn’t “pay people to protest or directly train or coordinate protestors.” The denial, however, skirts the core critique: the checks routinely flow to groups that build the protest ecosystem — logistics, messaging, legal support — that in practice shields and sustains the most disruptive actors when demonstrations spin out.

This is hardly the first clash between Trumpworld and Sorosworld. Soros-aligned money has fueled a wave of “progressive prosecutors” whose lenient charging and sentencing policies have turned major metros into revolving doors for violent offenders. From Los Angeles to Philadelphia, voters and cops alike have seen the consequences firsthand — cases dropped, career criminals cycled back onto the streets, victims left furious and helpless. Trump has made rolling back that soft-on-crime experiment a centerpiece of his domestic agenda; Wednesday’s warning suggests the financial architects behind it could now find themselves under legal scrutiny, not just political fire.

The RICO talk matters. Racketeering statutes aren’t about a single picket line or a rogue protest. They’re about patterns — funding streams, coordination, knowledge, and intent. If federal investigators establish that organizations knowingly abetted groups that incited or executed violence, the exposure could leap from PR headache to prosecutorial risk. At minimum, the threat signals a shift: the administration won’t just rebut Soros-funded narratives — it’s prepared to challenge the network that produces them.

Critics will howl that the president is criminalizing dissent. But the line Trump drew is clear: protest is protected; organized lawlessness is not. And after years of watching cities endure smashed storefronts, torched precincts, and demoralized police — while the same familiar nonprofits cash foundation checks — a growing number of Americans agree that the money trail deserves real scrutiny.

Soros and Alexander did not immediately comment publicly beyond OSF’s statement, but the message from the Oval Office couldn’t have been plainer. The White House sees a tight intersection between Soros dollars, activist infrastructure, and real-world disorder — and it plans to police that intersection aggressively. “We’re not going to allow these lunatics to rip apart America any more,” Trump wrote. Whether the Soros network calls it philanthropy or movement-building, the warning stands: the federal government is watching — and, if necessary, ready to act.
