(JEWISH GROUP) Trump's attack on George Soros is ludicrous. It also endangers Jews (and everyone else) [View all]
“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,” President Donald Trump posted to his social media platform Truth Social on Wednesday.
“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!”
Blaming Soros, the 95-year-old Hungarian-born Jewish philanthropist, financier and Holocaust survivor, for violence in America is ludicrous (and ironic: if an aged Soros had the power Trump says he does, surely Trump would not be president).
It is also antisemitic and, perhaps most pressingly, has a proven history of being dangerous.
Often, when conspiracies around Soros are described as antisemitic, someone will pop up to say that criticism of Soros isn’t antisemitic. And that is correct. Criticism of him or what he has actually said and done is not. However, Trump’s post does not describe Soros’s actual actions, but rather presents a fever dream in which one Jewish person is powerful and hateful enough to tear the nation apart, thus bringing us safely into the realm of antisemitism.
