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.
Trump Warns Iran of ‘Total Obliteration’ if They Try To Harm Him HH
President Donald Trump warned Iran that continued assassination threats made by leaders in Tehran would be met with the country getting “blown up” and “total obliteration.”
“Well, they shouldn’t be doing it but I’ve left notification,” Trump said. “Anything ever happens, we’re going to blow the whole — the whole country’s going to get blown up.”

Biden-era Intelligence officials briefed Trump about the alleged threats against him during his presidential campaign in 2024. Former Attorney General Merrick Garland said the plot was retaliation for the killing of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani by the U.S. in 2020, during Trump’s first administration.
Despite being briefed by his administration, Trump on Tuesday said President Biden “should have said something” on the matter, adding that presidents should defend each other on such matters.
“But I have very firm instructions,” Trump continued. “Anything happens, they’re going to wipe them off the face of this earth.”

Trump also spoke about the ongoing negotiations between the United States and Iran in Geneva.
“What are you expecting from these Iran talks in Geneva?” a reporter asked Trump aboard Air Force One.

“So, I’ll be involved in those talks indirectly, and they’ll be very important. We’ll see what can happen. Typically, Iran’s a very tough negotiator; they’re good negotiators — or bad negotiators. I would say they’re bad negotiators because we could have had a deal instead of sending the B2s to knock out their nuclear potential. We had to send the B2s. I hope they’re going to be more reasonable. They want to make a deal,” Trump said.
“Have you been told that a deal is next to impossible?” the reporter followed up.
Trump replied, “No. I think they want to make a deal. I don’t think they want the consequences of not making a deal. They want to make a deal.”
WATCH:
Trump previously said that he instructed officials to destroy Iran if they killed him.
The president said this after signing an executive order right after taking office that gave him all the tools he needed to talk to Iran’s government and put as much pressure on Tehran as possible.
“They haven’t done that and that would be a terrible thing for them to do,” Trump said at the time. “Not because of me — if they did that, they would be obliterated. That would be the end. I’ve left instructions, if they do it, they get obliterated, there won’t be anything left. And, they shouldn’t be able to do it.”
Trump warned last week that the United States could send additional warships toward Iran if ongoing diplomatic negotiations fail to produce a deal, signaling that military pressure could increase as talks over Tehran’s nuclear program stall.
In remarks to Axios, Trump said the administration is considering deploying a second aircraft carrier strike group to the region in addition to the USS Abraham Lincoln and 9 additional warships already positioned near Iran, though he expressed hope that a diplomatic agreement can still be reached.
“Either we will make a deal or we will have to do something very tough like last time,” the president told Axios on Tuesday, a reference to the bombing of three Iranian nuclear sites in June.
“Last time they didn’t believe I would do it. They overplayed their hand,” Trump added. “We have an armada that is heading there and another one might be going.”
The president emphasized that the United States is seeking to persuade Iran to curb its nuclear ambitions, halt the development of its ballistic missile program, and end support for militant proxy groups. Iranian officials have so far resisted expanding negotiations beyond nuclear-related issues.
He described the nuclear issue as a “matter of course” part of any negotiation, but also insisted that an agreement with Iran must also address Tehran’s ballistic missile stockpiles, per Axios.
Trump said the US “can make a great deal with Iran,” and Tehran “very much wants to make a deal.”
Trump’s comments came ahead of a planned visit to Washington, D.C. by Benjamin Netanyahu, who is expected to press for a tougher U.S. stance and broader terms for any Iran deal that would include constraints on Tehran’s missile capabilities and regional activities.
Before heading to DC, the Israeli leader previewed some of what he and Trump were going to discuss.
“I will present to the president our understanding of the principles of the negotiations (with Iran) – the essential principles that are important not only to Israel – but to everyone who wants peace and security in the Middle East,” Netanyahu told reporters, per the New York Post.
The administration has already bolstered its military presence in the Middle East, with multiple warships and aircraft deployed as a means of deterrence and leverage.
