President Donald Trump threw a nighttime mid-air social media hissy fit on his way home from Asia, attacking a political enemy. Trump’s typed tantrum aboard Air Force One slammed a rival he called “ugly,” and a “lowlife.” It included a link to a Just the News webpage discussing a probe launched in 2022. At the center of the lengthy article is a former Special Counsel for the DoJ, Jack Smith, who led the investigation into alleged efforts to subvert the 2020 election’s results. “He is a CRIMINAL AND SHOULD BE IN JAIL,” Trump raged from the presidential airplane. “A MAJOR LOWLIFE AND FAILURE. An ugly person, both inside and out! I beat him badly, and love watching him squirm now.” AF1 touched down in Anchorage, Alaska, at 3.11 a.m to refuel, according to the BBC. That means Trump posted the message at around 6 a.m. local time. That’s around 11 p.m. in South Korea, where he departed from after ending his tour of Asia. Smith said in an interview with University College London on Oct. 14 that politics hadn’t played a part in the investigation.
