Ellis, one of 18 Trump associates charged in Georgia election subversion case, says she ā€˜simply canā€™t support himā€™ again

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

ā€œI simply canā€™t support him for elected office again,ā€ Ellis said. ā€œWhy I have chosen to distance is because of that frankly malignant narcissistic tendency to simply say that heā€™s never done anything wrong.ā€

Ellis, 38, was speaking on her show on American Family Radio, a rightwing evangelical network run by the American Family Association, a non-profit that by its own description has been ā€œon the frontlines of Americaā€™s culture warā€ since 1977.

    I mean, the whole reason that malignant narcissists are successful is that theyā€™re very good at playing on their victimsā€™ emotions and deceiving. Even someone as trash as Trump, you see this steady stream of new victims both being willing to sacrifice their own social and professional lives on the altar of his ego and being shocked that he wonā€™t comply with contract terms or reciprocate with even a mild inconvenience. Imagine some dude standing next to a hot stove, saying itā€™s not that hot and offering $100 to put a hand on it. Then when someone burns their hand, denying he ever made the offer.

    Humans are terrible at rational decisions.

      Well, the last guy probably cooled the stove down enough when he grabbed it so it should be fine for me.
