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

Posted on 09/17/2023 11:11:17 AM PDT by thegagline

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. ***

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.

What is a “no-brainer” is that you just touted the logical fallacy: Argumentum falsum dilemma

Oh Great!

Aside from Trump telling the truth about 1. Russian collusion 2. Illegal campaign spying 3. Illegal money and bribery by Biden. 3. There being zero evidence of him being involved in violence on January 6th 4. That Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton the democrats had boxes and boxes of classified data that seems to be tied to foreign donations, and him just Presidential Library stuff, she seems to MAYBE be correct, but has zero proof like the RHINOS in Texas against Paxton.

She has spoken out against Trump to help Joe Biden get re-elected because it’s good for America and Americans. Now, that’s a malignant Narcissist to give that to the nation again if I have ever seen one.

“There is definitely a pattern here.”

***********

There is, but can it be attributed solely to poor decisions by Trump or are there other factors at play? To wit, some of the backstabbers are probably inherently ambitious sycophants that succumb to social and peer pressures and eventually turn on their boss for various reasons. So the pattern is probably a little more complex than it appears on the surface. JMHO

It’s not an “arumentum falsum dilemma”. Trump is the presumptive 2024 GOP nominee. Biden is the presumptive 2024 Democrat nominee. Two choices, A or B. That’s it. For now anyway.

That’s what this is about.

She’s under enormous stress because she never thought that the other side would resort to something as contemptible as the phony charges.

This is what they want - an opportunity to put words in her mouth, ltry totwist it to sound like a conspiracy.

Legal advice on how to challenge an obviously fraudulent election is not “conspiracy”, except in Stalinist courts.

Ellis is like Pence. They both claim to be true believers.

Apparently both worship the Deep State and evil over fighting for the truth.

The only difference is she's indicted and could afford to lose a few pounds.

Jenna is just trying to escape the endless lawfare and 40 year sentences the Deep State is threatening her with for being Trump's lawyer.

Either way, if she keeps on talking like this she will have nothing left in the end.

why would Trump admit wrongdoing when he didn’t do anything wrong? Just another slimy lawyer trying to curry favor with the left in hopes of cashing in.

1. Nominating Christopher Wray
2. Nominating Bill Barr
3. Chosing Mike Pence twice to be his running mate
4. Appointing John Bolton
5. Awarding Fauci a Presidential Commendation
Etc etc etc

Keep kneeling at the altar of your false god

How many votes would any of those incidentals get him if they were reversed ? Usually, invoking Hitler is a sure sign of making a losing argument.

HG Tudor (narcissistic psychopath) has Trumped pegged as a narcissist. I don’t know which kind. There are number of versions of narcissists. For example, he claims Taylor Swift is one but a different kind than Meghan Markle. He has some very interesting videos on the disorder.

If anyone has to deal with one you might want to watch his videos. It may help you.

I actually do think Trump is a narcissist as is Clinton, Biden, and probably Obama. HG Tudor said Politics and Entertainment are big areas for narcissists.
