Hopes among Trump supporters of seeing George Soros prosecuted look unrealistic, because the wealthy figures on both sides of U.S. politics are more connected than their public fights suggest.

• Jared Kushner's real estate firm Cadre still lists Soros as a key investor, despite efforts to unwind that stake since Trump took office.
• The wealthy backers of both MAGA and the left disagree on Middle East and some domestic policy, but they move in the same circles and protect each other.
• Ordinary voters get treated as tools to turn out at the polls, not as people with real say over policy.
• Soros also has ties to the hard-line Zionist right, including Eduardo Elsztain, the Argentine businessman seen as Javier Milei's mentor and main financial backer.
• That undercuts the common image of Soros as an opponent of Netanyahu and the Israeli government.

Outlook: Expect continued loud political feuding over Soros with no legal action, since the money behind both camps overlaps too much for either side to follow through.
