U.S. President Donald Trump has called for George Soros and his son to be charged under U.S. anti-corruption laws, accusing them of supporting violent protests and causing widespread harm to the United States.

In a statement posted on his Truth Social account on Wednesday, Trump claimed the U.S.-Hungarian billionaire philanthropist and his “wonderful Radical Left son,” Alex, should face charges under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), “because of their support of Violent Protests, and much more, all throughout the United States.”

“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,” Trump wrote.

“Soros, and his group of psychopaths, have caused great damage to our country,” the U.S. president claimed, and warned that his office was watching Soros and his left-wing network carefully.

Elon Musk quickly backed Trump’s remarks, posting: “It’s high time action was taken against Soros directly.” The X owner and Tesla CEO has frequently criticized Soros, accusing him of funding left-wing activism that, in his view, undermines stability in Western societies.

Soros, through his Open Society Foundations, has long directed billions into left-wing causes, from immigration advocacy and criminal justice reform in the United States to NGOs across Europe. Critics say this amounts to social engineering and interference in sovereign politics.

With Trump in power, Orbán says he will expel the Soros network from Hungary and calls on patriots across Europe to do the same

In Europe, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has been among Budapest-born Soros’s most vocal opponents. Earlier this year, Orbán vowed to begin the expulsion of Soros-backed organizations from Hungary, calling the financier and his Democratic allies in the U.S. “a bunch of idiots” who seek to impose their ideology on other nations

“The Soros network’s presence in Europe is contrary to the interests of the people. If there is corruption, this is it,” Orbán said in a January radio interview.

Orbán, who welcomed Trump’s return to the White House, argued that Brussels itself had fallen under Soros’s influence, warning the EU must “sober up and adapt.”
