Not a diagnosis. Nobody here has examined George, and no clinical term appears in this section. This is an interpretation of public behaviour by people who are not their doctor. We publish it because when this much power sits with one person, what drives them stops being a private matter — not to excuse anything, and not to explain it away.

Epstein files
Named by others
Soros named by Steve Bannon in a July 2018 text to Epstein released in the DOJ files
2018-07 · DOJ Epstein files release — July 2018 Bannon–Epstein text exchange
NBC News, reporting on the Justice Department's Epstein files release (DataSet 10, EFTA01615202.pdf), describes a July 2018 text in which Steve Bannon wrote to Jeffrey Epstein: "Do u know anyone in Europe that wants to control the European Parliament and with it the EU-- I need to get serious about taking on soros." Epstein replied, "There are lots of issues around this. Not for text." George Soros is referred to by Bannon as a political opponent; he is not a sender, recipient, or participant in the exchange, and the message is Bannon's characterization, not a statement by or about Soros's conduct. The article reports no contact of any kind between Soros and Epstein and describes no allegation involving Soros.
