In a post on Truth Social, Trump suggested the pair should face charges under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, commonly known as RICO, which is typically used to prosecute organized criminal activity.

“George Soros, and his wonderful Radical Left son, should be charged with RICO because of their support of violent protests and much more throughout the United States,” Trump wrote. He did not provide evidence to support the allegation.

Longstanding Political Target

George Soros, a major Democratic donor and founder of the Open Society Foundations, has long been a frequent target of criticism from conservative politicians and commentators because of his financial support for progressive causes, voting rights groups, and criminal justice reform initiatives.

His son, Alexander Soros, has taken on a more prominent leadership role in the family’s philanthropic network in recent years and is widely seen as continuing his father’s political and charitable activities.

Protest Incident in Florida

Trump’s comments came as protests related to U.S. foreign policy and military operations continued in several locations around the country. One small demonstration took place outside the headquarters of Palantir Technologies in Aventura, Florida, near Miami.

During the protest, participants were seen striking a piñata resembling Trump while others looked on. The gathering was organized by activists critical of U.S. military policy and technology companies that support defense operations.

Palantir, a government contractor, provides data analytics and artificial intelligence systems used by U.S. military and intelligence agencies. One of its best-known initiatives is Project Maven, which uses machine learning to analyze large volumes of surveillance and battlefield data.

Claims of Organized Protest Networks

Some commentators and analysts have argued that certain protest movements opposing military contractors are part of broader activist networks supported by wealthy donors and nonprofit organizations. Critics claim these groups coordinate messaging and demonstrations across multiple cities using shared resources and funding.

Others dispute that characterization, saying protest coalitions often consist of independent grassroots organizations with diverse funding sources and political motivations.

Organizations mentioned in connection with the Florida demonstration include the Party for Socialism and Liberation, which has publicly criticized U.S. foreign policy and military intervention abroad.

Ongoing Political Debate

Trump’s remarks add to the broader political debate surrounding political donations, protest movements, and the role of nonprofit organizations in public activism.

Legal experts note that pursuing charges under the RICO statute would require prosecutors to demonstrate a coordinated criminal enterprise engaged in illegal acts — a high legal threshold that has historically been applied primarily in cases involving organized crime, corruption, or large-scale fraud.

Neither George Soros nor Alexander Soros immediately responded publicly to Trump’s latest accusations.
