Trump Demands Criminal Prosecution of George Soros Under RICO Act, Calls him 'Psychopath' Publicly

Donald Trump has launched a blistering attack on billionaire George Soros and his son Alexander, calling for them to face federal racketeering charges under the RICO Act. In a fiery Truth Social post, Trump labeled Soros and his allies as “psychopaths” who have caused “great damage” to America. He accused their network of fueling violent protests, riots, and unrest across U.S. cities, vowing they will not be allowed to “rip apart America.” The escalation marks Trump’s most aggressive rhetoric yet against Soros, tying him to civil unrest, Black Lives Matter funding, and even the Russiagate narrative. #Trump #GeorgeSoros #BreakingNews #USPolitics #RICO #Protests #Riots #TruthSocial #DonaldTrump #Soros #BLM #America ~HT.178~GR.122~PR.274~ED.102~PR.152~

Trump Unleashes Fury: ‘Obama Behind Russiagate Takedown Plot’ | Calls It America’s Darkest Scandal [Video]

Trump Unleashes Fury: ‘Obama Behind Russiagate Takedown Plot’ | Calls It America’s Darkest Scandal

In a fiery interview, President Donald Trump accused Barack Obama of being the “mastermind” behind the infamous Russiagate conspiracy—a plot Trump says was fabricated to destroy his presidency. Citing newly declassified documents from Special Counsel John Durham’s 2023 report, Trump claimed Hillary Clinton and top Obama-era officials coordinated a disinformation campaign to link him to Russia. He alleged that Obama not only approved the plan but “pushed it,” fueling what he called the “biggest scandal in American history.” Trump criticized Clinton but noted he chose not to prosecute her after winning in 2016—an act he now regrets. The documents, released by DNI Tulsi Gabbard and Senator Chuck Grassley, reportedly expose links between Clinton operatives and George Soros-funded groups, alongside FBI involvement. Trump insisted he wouldn’t interfere with legal proceedings, leaving the decision on indictments to AG Pam Bondi. The revelations mark a potential political earthquake in the run-up to 2025. #Trump #Obama #Russiagate #DurhamReport #HillaryClinton #PamBondi #TulsiGabbard #ChuckGrassley #PoliticalScandal #BreakingNews #TrumpNews #ObamaScandal #ClintonEmails #DeepState #RussiaHoax #FBIInvolvement #GeorgeSoros #USPolitics #MediaManipulation #DeclassifiedDocuments ~HT.410~GR.122~ED.103~

‘UNCONSTITUTIONAL!’ Zelensky Sparks Outrage by Appointing PM as Critics SLAM His ‘Illegal’ Rule [Video]

‘UNCONSTITUTIONAL!’ Zelensky Sparks Outrage by Appointing PM as Critics SLAM His ‘Illegal’ Rule

Volodymyr Zelensky has appointed Yulia Svyrydenko as Ukraine’s new Prime Minister despite fierce backlash from opposition voices, who say Zelensky no longer has any constitutional authority to govern. Critics argue that under Ukraine’s Constitution, presidential powers cannot be extended beyond a 5-year term—even during martial law. Svyrydenko, a former Economy Minister with close ties to Washington and a track record of negotiating key mineral deals with the U.S., is now leading a narrow cabinet made up entirely of Zelensky loyalists. Her appointment has reignited debate over Ukraine's democratic legitimacy, with accusations that Zelensky is ruling without a legal mandate. Allegations of links between the new PM and billionaire George Soros have further polarized public opinion. The move is being viewed by critics as a consolidation of power under questionable legal footing—raising serious concerns over transparency, democratic norms, and foreign influence in Ukraine’s leadership. #Zelensky #UkrainePM #UkrainePolitics #ZelenskyControversy #UkraineNews #Svyrydenko #UkraineCrisis #MartialLaw #SorosUkraine #UkraineOpposition #UkraineGovernment #SorosLinkedPM #UkraineDemocracy #UkraineParliament #UkraineCabinet #VolodymyrZelensky #UkrainePresidency #UkraineLeadership #ZelenskyOutrage #Ukraine2025 Also Read US Will Send Patriot Missiles To Ukraine: Trump Takes U-Turn Over Arm Deliveries To Kyiv :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-will-send-patriot-missiles-to-ukraine-trump-takes-u-turn-over-arm-deliveries-to-kyiv-011-7800325.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Proposes Allowing Ukraine and Russia to Fight Before Seeking Peace :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-ukraine-russia-fight-for-a-while-011-4173761.html?ref=DMDesc Ukraine Hits Russia's Crimea Bridge Using 1,100 Kilograms Of Explosives :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ukraine-hits-russias-crimea-bridge-using-1-100-kilograms-of-explosives-4171479.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.420~GR.124~
