President Trump calls for racketeering charges, accusing George Soros and his son Alexander of orchestrating and financing unrest across the United States.

Donald Trump has called for federal prosecutors to bring racketeering charges under the RICO Act against billionaire financier George Soros and his son Alexander, accusing them of financing violent protests across the United States.
Writing on his social media platform, Trump said Soros and his network had caused 'great damage' to the country, warning them to 'be careful' because 'we are watching you.'
Trump’s demand highlights a growing call among conservatives to hold Soros accountable for his influence over political movements, foundations, and activist groups accused of fueling unrest and undermining American stability.
Supporters argue that Soros’s vast financial reach has emboldened disruptive demonstrations that have strained law enforcement and communities nationwide.
The call for racketeering charges was met with praise from key allies, including
Elon Musk, who backed Trump’s move as long overdue.
They argue that applying the RICO Act — traditionally used to dismantle organized crime networks — would be an appropriate and powerful tool to rein in coordinated, well-funded campaigns of unrest.
Trump framed his stance as part of his broader promise to restore law and order, protect American sovereignty, and confront elite interests he says are working against the will of the people.
By targeting Soros, Trump reinforced his message that no individual or group should be allowed to destabilize the nation through money-driven influence and orchestrated disruption.
