In a strange and blatant interview, billionaire leftist George Soros, gushingly implied that COVID was an exciting opportunity to transform the world.

He told an Italian newspaper that it was a “revolutionary” opportunity.

The Washington Times reported:

In an interview with La Repubblica, the Hungarian-born Mr. Soros also denounced President Trump as a “transitory phenomenon” but expressed hope that the COVID-19 crisis has opened up politics in a radical direction.

“I would describe it as a revolutionary moment when the range of possibilities is much greater than in normal times,” he said.

“What is inconceivable in normal times becomes not only possible but actually happens.

People are disoriented and scared.”

[Inconceivable, like what? The complete destruction of human rights… the ushering in of global slavery… the annihilation of the American republic?]

But Mr. Soros, who was being interviewed by the Rome newspaper on the occasion of his 90th birthday, warned that Mr. Trump “remains very dangerous,” despite seeing him as transitory, because of his efforts to stay in power and avoid prosecution.

“He’s fighting for his life, and he will do anything to stay in power,” Mr. Soros said, also calling the president “a confidence trickster” who can “undermine democracy from within.”

[Utterly wrong.]

Mr. Soros, who bankrolls numerous liberal and leftist causes through his Open Society Foundation and other funding sources, praised the U.S. for still having “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,” he concluded.
