George Soros warns Trump of potential economic doom before election
cnbc ^ | 1/23/2020 | Thomas Franck

Liberal billionaire George Soros said Thursday that the U.S. economy could be headed for calamity as a result of President Donald Trump’s efforts to juice American business and stock prices ahead of the 2020 election.

“Trump’s economic team has managed to overheat an already buoyant economy,” Soros warned his guests at an informal dinner at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

“The stock market, already celebrating Trump’s military success, is breaking out to reach new heights,” he said. “But an overheated economy can’t be kept boiling for too long. If all this had happened closer to the elections, it would have assured his reelection.”

“His problem is that the elections are still 10 months away, and in a revolutionary situation, that is a lifetime,” Soros said.

Soros, an 89-year-old Democratic megadonor whose net worth peaks at more than $8 billion, delivered the remarks at the dinner held during the forum, an annual conference set in the Swiss Alps and known for featuring elite business and political leaders.

And it does so at remarkably low levels of risk. Rebuilding something that already exists is far less risk than speculative new ventures.

I have been wondering if we may just see some indictments in the future for malicious manipulation.

translation: Something Trump did managed to short-circuit one of Georgi’s insider-trading-market-manipulation schemes and he’s got his knickers in a twist over it.

I hope Trump has a plan in place that bankrupts this guy.

He has PURPOSELY ruined the economy of several countries.

Soros is behind it.
Most likely he was behind it in 2002 and 2008.
If I send 10k to a friend, the US Gov knows about it but somehow, 550B was removed from the market in one trade in 2008 and to this day, no one has ever identified who tripped the biggest economic crash since ‘29.

Why is Soros still on this side of the green grass?

Freakin’ Nazi War Criminal should have been tried, and hanged decades ago.
