Trump posted a message about special counsel Jack Smith in the middle of the night on Friday/early Saturday.
Trump wrote on Truth Social:
A poll just came out showing me way ahead of Biden in the general election. What that means is that the radical left Democrats will ramp up their false investigations of me because they now see they can’t win at the ballot box.
TRUMP Hating Special Prosecutor Jack Smith, whose family and friends are also Big Time Haters, will be working overtime on this treacherous quest. They are villains and deceivers. THIS IS ALL ABOUT ELECTION INFRINGEMENT. I hope Republicans in Congress are watching!!!
The poll Trump referenced did not show him one way up on Biden. Trump seems to be referring to the ABC News/Washington Post poll questioned as a flawed outlier. No other poll has Trump leading Biden in the general election, but the reality is not the point of Trump’s post.
Donald Trump is doing what he always does. He tries to salt the earth and refute any evidence against him that could result in a federal criminal charge in the classified documents case.
Trump is obsessed with Jack Smith in the dead of night because he understands that Smith is the biggest legal threat he faces. Trump also knows that a federal criminal indictment will make him virtually ineligible in November 2024.
The former president needn’t worry about his supporters springing to DeSantis, but he’ll stand virtually no chance of beating Biden if all of his campaign coverage focuses on the criminal charges he faces.
Donald Trump is afraid of Special Counsel Jack Smith and his fear is reflected in his social media posts.
