How could this be interpreted outside of a threat against Donald Trump?
As reported by the Gateway Pundit,
They want him gone – no matter the cost.
President Trump is up in the polls, and the Republican base is coalescing around him. DeSantis, his most formidable primary challenger, dropped from the race and endorsed President Trump on Sunday.
The globalist elites are in a panic. Trump is the greatest threat to their power over humanity in the civilized world. Something must be done. Alex Soros tweeted out an obvious threat against President Trump on Sunday evening.
Alex Soros is currently facing scrutiny due to his recent tweet sharing a post from the far-left The Atlantic that features a bullet hole and a sum of $47.
Alex is the son of George Soros and the Chair of the Open Society, the largest donor to Democrat politics.

Given the track record of those on the radical left, it seems there is nothing they are not willing to do. After censoring him, “fortifying” elections, and weaponizing the justice system against him it seems the only thing they have not yet tried to do is kill him.

Republican state lawmakers Stefani Lord and John Block introduced Articles of Impeachment against New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) over her gun control order and sent them to the House Government, Elections, and Indian Affairs Committee.
The Articles of Impeachment will then go to the House Judiciary Committee.
JUST NOW: Articles of impeachment (HR1) against @GovMLG have just been introduced in the NM House of Representatives and sent to the House Government, Elections, and Indian Affairs Committee, then they will go to the House Judiciary Committee.
— Rep. John Block (@RepBlock) January 22, 2024
“The rights of New Mexicans are not up for debate, and no matter how hard Lujan Grisham tries to violate the Constitution, she will never succeed,” Rep. Lord said in a statement last week. “I stood firm against her tyranny when she tried to use a Covid health order to take our guns, and I will continue to stand firm against her continued attempts to destroy our Republic.”
In September Democrat Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham declared gun violence a public health emergency in response to the shooting deaths of a thirteen-year-old girl on July 28, a five-year-old girl on August 14, and an eleven-year-old boy.
“The action plan includes a suspension of open and concealed carry laws in Bernalillo County, temporarily prohibiting the carrying of guns on public property with certain exceptions. Exceptions include for licensed security guards and law enforcement officers. Citizens with permits to carry firearms are free to possess their weapons on private property (such as at a gun range or gun store), provided they transport the firearm in a locked box, use a trigger lock, or some other mechanism that renders the gun incapable of being fired,” according to the press release.
U.S. District Court Judge David Urias, a Biden appointee, issued a temporary restraining order against Grisham’s gun grab.
Judge Urias said Grisham violated the rights of law-abiding citizens to defend themselves.
Everyone turned against Grisham – including her own Attorney General – a fellow Democrat!
Several lawsuits have been filed against Grisham challenging her unconstitutional executive order.
New Mexico’s Democrat Attorney General Raul Torrez previously informed Grisham he will not be defending her.
New Mexico AG Raul Torrez
“I am writing to inform you that my office will not defend your administration in the above referenced cases challenging the Public Health Emergency Order Imposing Temporary Firearm Restrictions, Drug Monitoring and Other Public Safety Measures (the Emergency Order) issued by the Secretary of Health on September 8, 2023,” Raul Torrez wrote in a 4-page letter.
“Though I recognize my statutory obligation as New Mexico’s chief legal officer to defend state officials when they are sued in their official capacity, my duty to uphold and defend the constitutional rights of every citizen takes precedence. Simply put, I do not believe that the Emergency Order will have any meaningful impact on public safety but, more importantly, I do not believe it passes constitutional muster,” Torrez added.
Torrez scolded Grisham for taking unilateral action to suspend gun rights.
“However, I encourage you to engage in a more thoughtful and deliberative process with members of the New Mexico Legislature rather than taking unilateral action that infringes on the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens while having little if any discernible impact on the underlying dynamics driving gun violence in our community,” Torrez wrote.

The US Supreme Court on Monday sided with the Biden Regime and allowed Border Patrol agents to remove razor wire installed on the Texas-Mexico border.
In a 5-4 vote, the Supreme Court granted Biden’s emergency request.
Recall that Biden’s border patrol agents are cutting a razor wire fence on private property on the southern border to allow illegal aliens to enter the U.S., putting Americans at risk.
Gov. Greg Abbott (R) previously installed about 30 miles of razor wire at the Texas-Mexico border near Eagle Pass to stop the flood of illegal aliens being let in by the Biden administration.
NEW: Video from source in Eagle Pass shows Border Patrol cutting through razor wire placed by the state of TX to allow migrants to enter & be processed after crossing illegally. @TxDPS tells me this is the first time they know of this happening, and that it’s being looked into… pic.twitter.com/jESPbzj9sw

In October Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against the Biden Regime regarding their cutting razor wire at the border.
NEW: Texas AG @KenPaxtonTX is suing the Biden administration over the cutting/removal of razor wire placed by Texas at the southern border — calling on a federal court to stop what it calls an “ongoing, unlawful practice.”https://t.co/Qw1mp8a7nE
— Adam Shaw (@AdamShawNY) October 24, 2023
The lawsuit made its way to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals after a federal judge sided with Biden. The appeals court last month said agents could NOT cut the razor wire.
On Monday conservative justices Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett (Trump appointee) sided with the liberals and granted the Biden Regime’s emergency request.
NBC News reported:
A closely-divided Supreme Court on Monday allowed Border Patrol agents to cut through or move razor wire Texas installed on the U.S.-Mexico border as part of an effort by the state to prevent illegal border crossings.
The court on a 5-4 vote granted an emergency request filed by the Biden administration, which had argued that Texas was preventing agents from carrying out their duties.
The brief order noted that four conservative members of the nine-justice court would have rejected the government’s request. They were Justice Clarence Thomas, Justice Samuel Alito, Justice Neil Gorsuch and Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Ecuador’s escalating drug violence has recently grabbed global headlines, but the crisis didn’t bloom overnight. Over the past five years, alarming signs of a deteriorating security situation have been well documented.
During this time, the country’s murder rate has skyrocketed sixfold, and the amount of drugs trafficked through its borders has soared by a staggering 300%.
Last summer, the world watched in shock as European authorities made the largest drug seizure in history: 9 tons of cocaine concealed within a shipment of bananas. Even more unsettling, however, was the point of origin: Ecuador.
This traditionally low-key producer, primarily concerned with its domestic market, had suddenly emerged as a major player in the global cocaine trade.
Once deemed a safer haven compared to its narco-trail neighbors, Ecuador had long wrestled with higher levels of corruption and crime than Western democracies.
Yet, it seemed worlds away from the chaos gripping other South and Central American nations. But that illusion shattered recently when gunmen stormed a live TV station, taking hostages and forcing the government’s hand.
This brazen act was the tipping point, a declaration of war on the cartels and gangs that had been steadily gnawing at the country’s security.
For five years, Ecuador has witnessed a terrifying escalation – a murder rate skyrocketing, prison riots echoing in the streets, car bombs erupting, shots ringing out, hostages taken, and politicians assassinated. The narco-trail’s shadow had finally engulfed the nation it once skirted.
Ecuador’s struggle with drug-related crime echoes many challenges faced by its Central and South American neighbors.
Deep-seated corruption infects institutions, with officials in prisons, courts, and even the police and military collaborating with cartels.
This, coupled with weak governance, stark poverty and inequality, resource scarcity, and public disillusionment, creates a fertile ground for illicit activity.
However, Ecuador’s story adds a unique twist – its unfortunate geographic position.
Nestled between major cocaine producers and the vast Pacific Ocean, it’s become a prime target for sophisticated drug cartels from across the region.
This strategic location, offering smugglers direct access to the Pacific and bypassing the Panama Canal, has turned Ecuador into a coveted transshipment point for narcotraffickers.
Overcrowded and corrupt prisons exacerbate the issue, with gangs taking control of many facilities, leading to frequent large-scale hostage takings of guards and murders of inmates.
Simultaneously, developments in Colombia have compounded Ecuador’s challenges.
The peace deal between the Bogota government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) has negatively impacted Ecuador.
The once-powerful revolutionary group, which had a near-monopoly on trafficking, is now out of the picture, creating opportunities for new routes and new gangs. Some FARC factions that rejected the treaty with the Colombian government relocated their operations to Ecuador.
