He was hauled off the EZY609 flight from London Luton after it touched down at Glasgow Airport at around 8.20am on Sunday, July 27.
In the video, a passenger appeared to be saying: "I'm going to bomb the plane. Death to America. Death to Trump."
Shocked passengers can be seen watching on as a man continued to scream at the top of his voice at the back of the plane.

One man then got out of his seat and tackled a male passenger to the ground before another pinned him to the ground and said "don't move". It's understood some passengers were left in tears as a man was handcuffed and removed from the plane by police.
Officers have since confirmed that a 41-year-old has been arrested following the "disturbance".
Their investigations into the incident are ongoing.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "We received a report of a man causing a disturbance on a flight arriving in Glasgow around 8.20am on Sunday, 27 July, 2025.
"Officers boarded the plane on its arrival and a 41-year-old man was arrested and remains in custody. Enquiries are continuing."At this time we believe the incident was contained and that nobody else was involved. We are aware of videos circulating online and these are being assessed by counter terrorism officers."
An easyJet spokesperson added: "Flight EZY609 from Luton to Glasgow this morning was met by police on arrival in Glasgow, where they boarded the aircraft and removed a passenger due to their behaviour onboard.
