In the 1990s, #GeorgeSoros’ organization expanded its work to the #UnitedStates. It provides grants to groups that work for #HumanRights, #democracy & #equity, but #Trump & many #Republicans claim, without providing any evidence, that it is a shadowy network promoting civil unrest, violent protests & property destruction.
