Mere hours after EgyptAir Flight 804 went missing, Donald Trump tweeted that it “looks like yet another terrorist attack.”

Trump asked early Thursday morning, “When will we get tough, smart and vigilant?”

His tweet concluded, “Great hate and sickness!”

The EgyptAir flight disappeared from radar on a flight from Paris to Cairo.

Sky News is reporting that Egyptian Civil Aviation Minister Sherif Fathy claimed that it was more likely the plane was brought down by a “terror attack” than a technical failure.

Greek defense minister Panos Kammenos said the Airbus A320 was in Egyptian airspace, flying at 37,000 feet when it made “sudden swerves” and plunged to 15,000 feet.
