Trump retweeted the video with a note saying “thank you John, so nice!” misspelling the Oscar-winning actor’s first name.
Trump also criticized Smollett, who made headlines after he claimed he was a victim of a hate crime in Chicago. He was then accused of faking the racially-charged crime against him but the charges were ultimately dropped. Smollett maintains is innocence and is reportedly in hiding.
Files in Smollett’s case were ordered unsealed by a Chicago judge this week.
In addition to great incompetence and corruption, The Smollett case in Chicago is also about a Hate Crime. Remember, “MAGA COUNTRY DID IT!” That turned out to be a total lie, had nothing to do with “MAGA COUNTRY.” Serious stuff, and not even an apology to millions of people!
