The president told reporters on Wednesday he believes the anti-Semitic rumors the financier is paying refugees to illegally enter the country.
All this month, Donald Trump has been attempting to drum up fear among voters that a migrant caravan hundreds of miles from the border is a grave threat to their lives, and that only he and his fellow Republicans can protect them. Two weeks ago, he claimed, without any evidence, that criminals and unknown Middle Easterners are mixed in with the group. Later, to heighten the drama, he dispatched thousands of troops to secure the border and deny the migrants entry, despite the fact that 1) theyre traveling on foot and weeks away, 2) the military doesnt actually have the power to do anything once theyre there, and 3) the group plans to surrender at a port of entry and seek amnesty, which is the only way they can do so under current U.S. law. Perhaps worried that voters were not sufficiently scared enough to stave off a blue wave, though, on Wednesday, he pulled out the big guns and the mother of all dog whistles: a conspiracy theory about George Soros, a favorite bogeyman among white nationalists and neo-Nazis.
