President Trump said Wednesday that he "wouldn't be surprised" if billionaire philanthropist George Soros or someone else is funding the caravan of Central American migrants moving toward the U.S.

"I wouldnt be surprised," Trump told reporters outside the White House when asked if "someone" is paying for the caravan.

"George Soros?" a reporter interjected.

"I dont know who, but I wouldnt be surprised," Trump said. "A lot of people say yes.

The unfounded conspiracy theory that Soros, a Democratic megadonor, may be providing financial support for the group of migrants has steadily spread among conservatives in recent weeks, The Washington Post reports.

Fox News hosts Laura Ingraham, Maria Bartiromo and Lou Dobbs have all raised the idea that the group was receiving outside funding from Soros or politically motivated groups, and Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) suggested in a tweet that Soros was paying the migrants without elaborating any further.

The president, who suggested at a campaign rally in Houston that the migrants were being paid to come to the U.S., later shared a video that accompanied that Gaetz tweet.

Robert Gregory Bowers, the man accused of killing 11 people at a Pittsburgh synagogue over the weekend, echoed Trump's rhetoric on the migrant caravan, calling it a group of "invaders" in a social media post before the shooting.

Bowers additionally railed against HIAS, a Jewish refugee resettlement organization he accused of helping bring people to the United States to carry out violence.

Days before the shooting, Soros, who is Jewish, was one of several prominent Democrats targeted by a series of mail bombs.

Trump on Wednesday denied that he was "fear mongering" about the caravan, which he has painted as an imminent threat to national security and claimed is filled with "thugs," "criminals" and "unknown Middle Easterners."

The group is largely made up of residents of Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala, and includes many women and children.

"Immigration is a very, very big and very dangerous a really dangerous topic," Trump told reporters. "And we're not going to allow people to come into our country that don't have the well-being of our country in mind."

He went on to describe the caravan as a "dangerous group of people," and said he might deploy up to 15,000 service members to the U.S. southern border to stop the migrants from entering the country.

Just go ahead and embrace those same conspiracy theories that a psychopath murder did, Mr. President, that seems like a fabulous idea...

while i wouldn't say with confidence that he knowingly gave a group money to deliberately do this thing, its not exactly a secret that soros does donate to a lot of groups that do go in on that kind of behavior. tin foil hat or not it woudlnt surprise me if soros' money was involved in some way. and its not that soros could be paying each person in the caravan, but the money could be paying people who see that that caravan continues to push forward by providing water, food, blankets and transportation. you arnt going 1600-2000miles on a backpack of supplies on foot especially with a family in tow. they are getting help one way or another (and not saying its soros specifically).

I would say it's false-flagging but then Trump doesn't even stand up to them when it happens so he stokes fires then refuses to douse them to look like a hero. I don't get his endgame.

Nothing.

My only point was that some people acknowledge some political stunts (uch as the "elevator screamers") are being performed by organizations backed by Soros and others, so they make the leap and apply it to other circumstances.

I can't believe I have to repeat this so much, but pointing that out doesn't mean I believe it.

Even if he funded a group that had a staff member confront Jeff Flake, that doesn't mean she wasn't a victim sexual assault. These attempts to muddy the waters about specific things that are irrelevant to the actual situation don't matter.
