Donald Trump goes berserk as Special Counsel Jack Smith makes Thanksgiving Day court filing against him
To say that Special Counsel Jack Smith is wasting no time is to put it mildly. On Tuesday the DOJ participated in a hearing with the U.S. Court of Appeals in its ongoing criminal case against Donald Trump. Then on Thursday – Thanksgiving Day – Smith made a court filing which picked apart the lies that Trump’s legal team told during the hearing. We know the letter was the work of Smith personally, because he signed it.
Even as Jack Smith was busy working on Thanksgiving to finish Donald Trump off, Trump was taking a rather different approach. Trump used his failed social network to launch into one unhinged conspiracy theory about Smith (and Smith’s family) after another, in a frantic attempt at convincing himself that Smith is somehow being unfair to him. But Trump was just getting started.
Trump also viciously attacked his own handpicked Supreme Court Justices for once against declining to come to his rescue, spun incoherent stories about the Manhattan District Attorney’s office, declared himself the “Best President in United States History,” and then stunningly declared “Give me Freedom or give me Death.” If Trump was attempting to quote Founding Father Patrick Henry, he didn’t even get that right (the original quote was “Give me liberty…”).
We don’t usually talk about whatever Trump is incoherently rambling about on his failed social network on any given day, both because it’s usually irrelevant, and because we’re not inclined to amplify the words of a traitor. But Trump was in rare form on Thursday to put it mildly, suggesting that he certainly didn’t enjoy his Thanksgiving, and that he’s indeed completely bugging out over the Special Counsel appointment.
Notably, some of Trump’s most berserk posts of the day came before Special Counsel Jack Smith’s Thanksgiving Day court filing became public. This suggests that Trump knew his goose was cooked once he got his butt handed to him in the Court of Appeals hearing. That ruling hasn’t even officially come down yet, but it couldn’t be more obvious that the court will soon rule fully in the DOJ’s favor.
