George Soros, tell us how you really feel.
The 87-year-old billionaire clearly isn’t shy about expressing his liberal views and distaste for Trump’s “America First” platform, and the Washington Post gave him an opportunity to unload in a recent interview.
And unload he did.
During the hourlong chat from Zurich, Switzerland last week, the Hungarian-born hedge-fund luminary told the Post he has no doubts about the validity of his negative take on Trump: He’s a “narcissist” who “considers himself all-powerful.”
Soros, who plans to spend at least $15 million in the 2018 races, admits to being caught off-guard when Trump won the election. “Apparently, I was living in my own bubble,” he said, adding that if Democrats win and forge a relationship with moderate Republicans, he would lean toward impeaching Trump “because he is endangering the United States and the world.”
Through his Open Society Foundations, Soros spends almost a billion dollars a year across 100 countries to promote free speech and free elections, as well as another $150 million a year backing the ACLU and Planned Parenthood
“The bigger the danger, the bigger the threat, the more I feel engaged to confront it,” said the man who has been falsely accused by his detractors of being a Nazi sympathizer. “So in that sense, yes, I redouble my efforts.”
As for those detractors and their conspiracy theories, Soros says he’s proud to have accumulated so many enemies around the world. “I must be doing something right” he told the Post.
