Seemingly bored, Trump threatens a prominent Jew
President Donald Trump is accelerate your legal crusade Against his perceived enemies, this time targeting billionaire George Soros and his son.
In a social position on Wednesday, and apparently without obligation, Trump threatened to slap them with accusations of racketeering – a legal weapon used historically against members of the organized crime – under the law on influential and corrupt organizations, or the Rico law.
This decision is perfectly written in his game book: criminalized criticism, intimidate adversaries, and Transform the application of federal law in a blunt instrument of personal revenge.
In his post, Trump said Soros and his son should be prosecuted for supporting national demonstrations.
“George Soros, and his wonderful radical left son, should be accused of Rico because of their support for violent protests, and much more, everywhere in the United States of America”, he wroteoffering no evidence for his complaint, as usual.
Soros has long been the right favorite villainblamed for everything, protests to opposite campaigns The Supreme Court. He was turned In a caricature on the far right: a Jewish philanthropist describes as the brain of a global plot imagined to destroy “Western civilization”. Anti -Semitism is in the storyBut it didn’t slow down Trump a little or his allies.
In 2018, Trump alleged that the demonstrators were “paid by Soros and others”. During the walking of women, black Lives Matter and even recent town hall demonstrations, Trump rejected the base of the base as the work of Soros supported by Soros ““Paid tadpole”.And conspiracy theories resurfaced this summer, when Maga social media accounts Pushed images Pallets stacked of bricks as supposed proof that Soros would arm the Los Angeles demonstrators against immigration and the application of customs. Trump has stacked, scoring them “Paid insurrectionists. “”
Now he discusses such paranoid complaints strong enough to justify criminal charges.
“We are no longer going to allow these madmen to tear America, no longer giving it a chance to” breathe “and be free,” said Trump on Wednesday. “Soros and his group of psychopaths caused great damage to our country! This includes his crazy friends from the west coast.”
And then, like a mafia boss offering a warning, Trump added: “Be careful, we look at you!”
The Open Society Foundations, The Soros Philanthropy Network, Quickly backwardsSaying that he “does not support or finances violent protests” and denounces Trump’s claims on George and Alex Soros as “scandalous”.
Ironically, Trump himself knows Rico: he was Initially loaded under the law in the case of electoral interference of Georgia. Of course, this did not prevent him from trying to return the script and handle him against his enemies.
As you would expect, Trump’s allies encourage him. Technological billionaire and Anti -Semitic noted Elon Musk weighed on Wednesday morning.
“High time measures have been taken directly against Soros”, it said.
This last edge occurs while Trump degenerates his vendetta against former allies who have become criticism. For example, the former governor of New Jersey Christie, a republican, is found In Trump’s reticle on the “bridgegate” scandal of decade.
“For the sake of justice, we may have to start looking at this very serious situation?” No one is above the law! ” Asset wrote Sunday. He then diverted the question of a possible probe on Christie, Say journalists that the decision was taking the general prosecutor Pam Bondi. It is a disturbing sign since Bondi aimed to protect the president rather than maintaining the independence of the Ministry of Justice.
Other political enemies perceived from Trump have been taken in his anger recently. John Bolton, the former national security advisor of Trump, saw his house and his office fishing Last week. Trump publicly said he had nothing to do with order, but he boasted that he could have given it Himself as “the head of the police” of the nation.
It’s a clear scheme: Trump floats threats and leaves his doj to do the dirty job.
While the president insists that he is not authoritarianIt acts as the definition of the manual of a dictator. The result is something darker: a distorted judicial system in its own form of a crowd rule.
