(Natural News)—Following the recent failed assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump, previous threats against him are being viewed in a different light. His opponents often talk about him with an alarming amount of vitriol, and it can be easy to wave their comments off as liberals who are worried he’ll take office again. However, it’s all evidence of the fact that threatening Trump has become so normalized that when his life was truly in danger this weekend, the threat wasn’t taken seriously enough in time to save people from being killed.
One example that has been back in the spotlight was a potential veiled threat made by Alex Soros earlier this year. Alex, who is the son of billionaire globalist George Soros, tweeted a photo of a bullet hole alongside a hand with $47 in cash. Given that Trump will be the 47th president if he wins in November, many interpreted it at the time as a threat against him.
The tweet was sharing an article in the leftist publication The Atlantic featuring the photo with the tagline: “Last year, the crime and inflation crises largely evaporated. So did the leading theories about what had caused them.”
The tweet was instantly met with replies noting that it came across as a death threat against the former president.
The Gateway Pundit published an article about the threat at the time, explaining how Soros and other global elites appeared to be in panic mode as Trump was already leading the polls and threatening their power.
One-sided “fact check” tried to dismiss threat
This prompted USA Today to publish one of its sketchy “fact checks,” going out of its way to try to explain why this was not the threat that so many people interpreted it to be. They claim, for example, that the image of the bullet hole in the glass and the hand holding the money was actually “created from two stock photographs.” That may be technically true, but that does not rule out the possibility that the two images were intentionally chosen for their symbolism.
The Atlantic claims it was not trying to send a message and that it’s all just a coincidence, with spokesperson Anna Bross claiming the allegations it was a threat were “absurd and irresponsible” and Soros insisting he wasn’t making a threat by sharing it.
A spokesperson for the Open Society Foundations, which is chaired by Alex Soros and is the biggest donor to Democrat politicians, stated: “Alex was sharing the positive news that crime and inflation rates are trending downward – developments that should be celebrated by all Americans. Nothing more, nothing less. It’s amazing the lengths to which some people will try to distract and divide the country in the face of objectively good news.”
Hilariously, it was this spokesperson, along with The Atlantic’s spokesperson and the X post by Alex Soros that USA Today cited for its fact check, as if they were somehow neutral sources who could provide an unbiased take on the situation.
Soros called Trump an “existential threat”
Ahead of Joe Biden’s big solo press conference after his embarrassing debate performance in which he further underscored just how far gone his mind is, Soros warned Democrats that they need to unite around Biden in a post on X.
“Let’s stop running against ourselves and run against the existential threat that is Donald Trump! Biden-Harris 2024!” his post read.
Alex has reportedly visited the White House at least 20 times since Biden took office and recently announced his engagement to Huma Abedin, a former aide to Hillary Clinton. Critics believe that he will be “even more radically leftist than his father,” which is a deeply frightening prospect – and one that makes it seem even more likely that he’d want Trump out of the White House at all costs.
