Trump trashes ‘deranged' Jack Smith in off-the-rails post-arraignment speech at Bedminster
Donald Trump on Tuesday in an off-the-rails post-arraignment speech at his Bedminster golf club leveled incendiary attacks against special counsel Jack Smith and accused the federal government of running a psychological warfare against the American people.
The former president delivered the speech just hours after appearing at a federal court in Miami to face a 37-count indictment on allegations he mishandled classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. Trump pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Trump called Smith a “thug” and a “deranged lunatic” who he said was “raging and uncontrolled Trump hater.”
“I've named him 'deranged Jack Smith,'" Trump said to laughter in the crowd. “I wonder what his name used to be, Jack Smith, it sounds so innocent doesn’t it. ‘Jack Smith,’ what's his name ‘Jack Smith.’ He's a very nice man. He's a behind the scenes guy. But his record is absolutely atrocious.”
Trump accused Smith of trying to railroad former Vice Presidential candidate John Edwards “on a completely bogus legal theory that didn't hold up in court.”
“It's no wonder this raging lunatic was shipped off to the Hague to prosecute warfare rules using globalist tribunals not beholden to the Constitution, or the rule of law. Two things Jack Smith clearly disdains,” Trump said.
“You take a look at this guy, he looks like a thug. But then I watched him make a speech the other day and he was trembling because it wasn't his territory and feels much safer in the inner sanctums of the ‘Department of injustice’ where he can be in his room and scream at people.”
Trump without evidence alleged that the government was running a psychological warfare operation against the American people in an effort to “destabilize” the country.
“Don't forget this persecution is being done by the same weaponized agencies that for seven years have been running illegal psychological warfare campaigns against the American people, much as if they were trying to destabilize a foreign country.”
