President Donald Trump said billionaire George Soros “should be in jail” as he continued to threaten the 95-year-old philanthropist and Democratic mega-donor.

The president has baselessly accused the Hungarian-born Holocaust survivor and founder of the nonprofit Open Society Foundation of funding protesters and demonstrations against his administration.

“We’re going to look into Soros, because I think it’s a RICO case against him and other people,” Trump said Friday on Fox & Friends as he referenced his demand that Soros be prosecuted for racketeering.

“Because this is more than like protests,” he said. “This is real agitation.”
