Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis turns on ‘malignant narcissist’ ex-president
The Guardian ^ | 09/15/2023 | Martin Pengelly

Jenna Ellis – the Donald Trump lawyer who like the former president faces criminal charges regarding attempted election subversion in his defeat by Joe Biden in 2020 – says she will not vote for him in the future because he is a “malignant narcissist” who cannot admit mistakes.

“I simply can’t support him for elected office again,” Ellis said. “Why I have chosen to distance is because of that frankly malignant narcissistic tendency to simply say that he’s never done anything wrong.”

***

Described by the New York Times *** as “a lawyer whom Trump sought out after seeing her television commentary”, in 2020 Ellis rose from relative obscurity to become part of what she called an “elite strike force team” working to overturn Trump’s defeat by Biden.

On her show on Thursday, she spoke to Steve Deace, another rightwing host.

Deace said: “Before that man [Trump] needs to be president again … [to] escape the quote-unquote, ‘witch-hunts’, that man needs Jesus again because … his ambitions would be fueled by showing some self-awareness. And he won’t do it because he can’t admit, ‘I’m not God.”

Ellis said Deace had “perfectly articulated exactly how I as a voter feel”. She knew Trump well “as a friend, as a former boss”, she said, adding: “I have great love and respect for him personally.

“But everything that you just said resonates with me as exactly why I simply can’t support him for elected office again. Why I have chosen to distance is because of that, frankly, malignant narcissistic tendency to simply say that he’s never done anything wrong.

“And the total idolatry that I’m seeing from some of the supporters that are unwilling to put the constitution and the country and the conservative principles above their love for a star is really troubling. ***

Now a days it is. Only because there are no ethics. I’ve seen him admit to wrongdoing and bad decisions. That said, in a political arena like we have now. with vipers in every direction, I wouldn’t recommend admitting to anything—so he’s playing it right.

This Never-Trumper opportunist went pro-Trump when she saw that's how her bread could be buttered, and went back to being anti-Trump when she got DeSantis cash.

She's a major Disney fangirl, which tells you all you need to know.

Her nickname on Twitter is Jebba.

Harsh, but fair.

Choice A: Vote for someone who occasionally makes a mistake, and will not admit to it.
Choice B. Vote for someone who does nothing all day but lie and make mistakes.

It’s a no-brainer. And it’s a damn shame idiots like Ms. Ellis cannot see that.

Yet another of Trump’s timebomb staffers detonates.

There is definitely a pattern here. Trump praises a person and hires, appoints or nominates them. Eventually, the “awesome 4D chess” hire and Trump part ways as bitter opponents.

The Guardian on its best day is a leftist radical comic book.

“I work with MDs and in the USAF I worked with and around pilots.these people are socialized to believe they are never wrong”

***********

Anyone who has spent much time in the working world inevitably runs across plenty of people who believe they are never wrong. Ms. Jenna must have lived a very sheltered and privileged life to avoid these types of personalities who inhabit the real world. She acts like Trump is the first self assured person she’s ever known. Amazing.

Solid book, read it twice.

Hoffer’s story is interesting as well. I enjoy reading about a self taught individual.

Great post. DC is chock full of people who never admit to being wrong or responsible for anything.

Ms. Jenna see’s only what she wants to see.

She calls Trump a malignant narcissist who thinks he’s God, then in the same breath, she says she has great love and respect for him personally.

That’s one confused little girl.

How many voters know or care who she is or what she thinks.

"I would be pretty annoyed if someone I’d hired to represent me as a lawyer turned around & made such public statements. Is this ethical?!"

If she's been accurately quoted in the article, all she had to do was say "No," and not represent him. She didn't say "No," accepted payment for her work from whichever entity paid her salary. Why didn't she quit if he was so hard to work for? Instead, she stayed, and continued to be paid. She reminds me of the women who come out 20 years later, claiming someone raped and sexually abused them, they are nothing more than attention whores.

I see today that British-Australian actress Miriam Margoyles just claimed that Steve Martin slapped her repeatedly during the filming of "Little Shop of Horrors" in 1986. That's 37 years ago!! I don't know what Steve Martin's politics are. He keeps that pretty close to his chest, and I don't recall him speaking out on any of the issues in the past, but Miriam Margoyles is a pompous lesbian, and has a face that should be slapped. She would never be able to claim that anyone sexually abused her, so she had to claim that somebody slapped her a bit 37 years ago. What an ugly witch, inside and out.

So, she would not vote for our “malignant narcissist”, but would gladly vote for Obama’s “malignant narcissist” so that Obama can have a fourth and fifth term..... 🧐

This is why Biden’s off the ticket, they want more time to “fundamentally transforming the United States of America.”
