George Soros on turning 90, coronavirus, and Donald Trump
George Soros, one of the most well-known Hungarians from the past years, turned 90 this week. The Hungarian-American billionaire who rarely gives interviews but is active regarding social and political questions now talked about the coronavirus, the threats on open society, Donald Trump, and the weakness of the European Continent to an Italian magazine called La Repubblica.
Forbes reported that the 90-year-old Soros still plays tennis three times a week and considers the coronavirus epidemic the greatest tragedy and most threatening phenomenon since World War II. According to Soros, people have become uncertain and scared, and they act without common sense but with the knowledge that what they are doing is wrong.
Soros also expressed his thoughts on the difference between Europe and the United States.
“I think Europe is very vulnerable, much more so than the United States. The United States is one of the longest-lasting democracies in history. But even in the United States, a confidence trickster like Trump can be elected president and undermine democracy from within. But in the US you have a great tradition of checks and balances and established rules. And above all, you have the Constitution. So I am confident that Trump will turn out to be a transitory phenomenon, hopefully ending in November but until then he remains to be very dangerous,” reported Soros’s official website.
Soros continued by saying that the EUR 750 billion EU recovery fund has been one of the greatest ideas of the union. Soros thinks that “the EU took a very important positive step forward by committing itself to borrow money from the market on a much larger scale. But then several states, the so-called Frugal Five – the Netherlands, Austria, Sweden and Denmark and Finland – managed to make the actual agreement less effective.”
The Hungarian-American billionaire is still active, although other news portals writing about his 90th birthday stated that he was already weak 11 years ago.
According to the American Forbes Magazine, Soros was the third person between 2014 and 2018 who donated the most amount of many to charities and other organisations, approximately $3.1 billion. Alongside his donations, he is also eager to fund a brand-new university after CEU.

One of the most powerful and dangerous individuals in the world, one who pays for criminality and destruction. It’s sad and revolting to watch someone with the possibility and means to do so much good in the world, doing the exact opposite.
Sad that you would kiss the feet of such a NeoMarxist monster, and not think for yourself.
One of the most evil men ever to be alive. He really needs to take his dirt nap. The entire planet will be safer once he is gone.
Saros, his opinions on America, quite appalling.
The mere mention of a Constitution and Democracy – and his reference to – great traditions of checks and balances and established rules, the question has to be asked, what planet is he living on.
America is a Humanitarian Disaster.
American will experience Financial and Economic destruction, that will have greater deeper society ramifications, than what they endured from The Great Depression.
America is paying for there ERROR of 2016.
The 45th elected President of the United States of America – the infamous – Donald. J. Trump – has plunged America into a situation that is likened to an abyss.
If Hungarians are good, maybe Soros will fund a Marxist organization like BLM that’s tearing up the US with a new chapter here in Hungary with a return to the good old days.
George Soros is evil. He hates Trump with all his being. He is behind the the coronavirus and the destruction of society as we know it. His last ditch effort to see his One World Order to come to fruition was to get rid of Donald Trump. The only way he could do that was to ruin the economy and bring down Trump. His solution was to release the coronavirus so mail in voting would be allowed in all of the swing states. Mail in voting would allow fraud and cheating. Amazingly, every time a Republican candidate was ahead, more mail in votes would magically appear. To him this is nothing more than what he has to do to get his way before he kicks the bucket. He runs the Democratic party. This is World War 3 with an invisible, behind the scenes, enemy. Casualties so far over 300,000. To him its a small price to pay to win the war. We are nothing but pawns in his wicked game.
Cat 1 is exactly right. I am glad some others are able to see what Soros is capable of. He is evil. At this point under Biden his destruction of America is in fulll swing.
