Ex-president Donald Trump found a way to attack Joe Biden and Boeing in an expansive rant about the recent Lockheed Martin F-35 crash on Saturday.
Trump, who was recently slammed by liberals and conservatives alike for a Truth Social post that mentioned the death penalty, took to his social media site once again to give his thoughts on the crash. The pilot in the plane parachuted to safety, and audio of his 911 call was published online.
Trump says he was right about the plane to begin with, and that everyone should have listened to him in the first place.

"On numerous occasions I told the Air Force and Lockheed Martin that the F-35 Fighter Jet is, in effect, DEFECTIVE, because it only has one engine," he wrote. "They told me that the engine is so good and reliable that it will never break down."
He added more context, finding a way to slip in an insult against Biden.
"I said that’s not possible, everything breaks down at one time or another, just look at Crooked Joe Biden. You need redundancy, you need TWO ENGINES! No high cost modern day plane should have only one engine. Well, an F-35 fell out of the sky yesterday. Hear we go again!"
Trump then moved on to Boeing, although it doesn't appear from online records that the company was related to the crashed jet.
"I also recommended to 'bad maintenance' Boeing that they should not lengthen the unattractive, fat, and slow 737 to get a larger plane, they should go, instead, to an updated fast, beautiful, and sleek 757, the 'Praying Mantis.' It is commercial pilots favorite plane to fly," the ex-president said. "Had they listened to me, years ago, they wouldn’t have had the disaster known as the 737 MAX. Those two horrible tragedies would never have happened. As they say, 'Trump was right about everything.' Thank you!!!"
