George Soros: 'Donald Trump Is Doing The Work Of ISIS'
Forbes ^ | JAN 21, 2016 | Antoine Gara

Posted on 01/21/2016 5:49:10 PM PST by VitacoreVision

George Soros, the world's richest hedge fund billionaire, has no shortage of opinions when it comes to both politics and the global economy. Famed for making a billion dollars by "breaking" the Bank of England in 1992, Soros is in a semi-retirement, but his prognostications still move markets. And he remains a top contributor on the U.S. political scene, where he supports liberal candidates and causes.

On Thursday evening at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Soros used a 45-minute interview with Bloomberg TV's Francine Lacqua to create an explosion of headlines on both the political and economic front. "Donald Trump is doing the work of ISIS," Soros said, citing the anti-immigrant vitriol that's been a hallmark of the Trump campaign as he's risen in Republican primary polls. He levied a similar critique against candidates such as Ted Cruz, and said Hillary Clinton would win the general election in a landslide.

Ideas like closing U.S. borders to Muslims, Soros said, might "convince the Muslim community that there is no alternative but terrorism." He also said ISIS's "days are numbered" as both the Iraqi and Syrian governments win back territory the terrorist group gained.

The rise of ISIS and the crumbling of the Middle East has created a crisis for Europe, and Soros said German Chancellor Angela Merkel may have erred in opening the country to refugees. "She risked her political capital and lost," Soros said. Nonetheless, he expressed optimism that Germany and other European powers could successfully integrate migrants.

I'm actually starting to have a fews doubts about Trump (Kelo,ethanol,etc.), but by golly he STILL has all the right enemies.

Every time one of these Left wing extremist kooks like Soros criticizes Trump, it's the best endorsement he could get.

Yeah, I’m gonna listen to the guy that sold out his own people to the Nazis and is probably helping to fund the islamists.

With enemies like that a candidate hardly needs friends. What an astonishing knack for making the right enemies in order to win.

“The National Review” has the “Stop Trump Council”. Emminent Republicans - Establishment types, are trying to put out the same meme as Sleazebag Soros. More and more reason to stand by Trump. The folks have no clue. Not Soros, not “The National Review” and their sacred council of elites. The political landscape is changing, and there are still some who feel they must be condescending and dismissive as a way to change our minds. They must understand the old ways, and old messengers are no longer effective. And Soros - time is slowly closing the door on him.

Soros does the work of Satan. As a Jewish youth he worked with the Nazi. He has been evil most if not all his life.

It’s a good show anyways. Everything soros does is calculated. If course he appears to hate Trump....he knows Trump stands no chance if there’s a connection.
