Leave it to Donald Trump to make provocative statements.
While speaking at a New Jersey fundraiser Thursday night, the presumptive Republican presidential candidate assured that EgyptAir Flight MS804 was purposely destroyed, according to ABC News.
The flight was carrying 66 people and vanished from radar while it was over the Mediterranean early Thursday.
It was flying from Paris to Cairo and disappeared when it was about 10 miles into Egyptian airspace.
"If anyone thinks it wasn't blown out of the sky, you're 100 percent wrong, folks," Trump said.
Earlier Thursday, Trump was quick to call the incident a terrorist attack on Twitter.
Officials have not said what has led the plane to drop off radar.
