In his latest editorial effort, published in the popular British daily The Guardian, billionaire philanthropist George Soros slams Donald Trump—and Ted Cruz, too. Soros is concerned that a Trump presidency would be ineffective in fighting terrorism, among other things, despite the candidate’s pretensions to the contrary and his proposed tighter immigration policies, including an outright ban on Muslims entering the United States. (Source: “The terrorists and demagogues want us to be scared. We mustn’t give in,” The Guardian, December 28, 2015.)
In Soros’ view, if Americans elect Donald Trump, they should be careful. Soros believes Trump will attract more terrorism attacks and violence, rather than fewer incidences as Donald Trump promises. (Source: Ibid). George Soros is calling on voters to “resist the siren song of the likes of Donald Trump and Ted Cruz,” two anti-immigration candidates.
Soros, a donor to various political causes and parties through his Open Society Foundations and founder of Soros Fund Management LLC, argues that extremist groups such as Al Qaeda and ISIS want to fuel a strong anti-Islamic sentiment worldwide, so that Muslims see no other choice but to get involved with terrorism. (Source: Ibid.) Therefore, by calling for bans on Muslim migration to the U.S., Trump is abetting the extremists, falling into their “trap.”
