An attorney for Donald Trump says that his supporters should not be made to believe that he has legal problems, following a decision to have the former president’s name taken off the Republican ballot in Maine.
Christina Bobb accused opponents of the former president of putting out “propaganda” to harm his 2024 presidential run.
It comes after Mr Trump was removed from the ballot in Colorado last month, under the 14th Amendment’s ban on insurrectionists holding public office. The decision to also block him from the ballot in Maine was handed down on Thursday by state secretary Shenna Bellows.
Speaking to Newsmax on Sunday, Ms Bobb suggested that Ms Bellows be impeached for her decision, and accused her of election interference.
These people don’t really believe what they’re saying. They desire to believe. Trump makes them feel better about themselves because he is an avatar for selfishness, pride, and success (in their minds).
They say they believe these things because it makes them feel good about themselves. They don’t actually believe it. So facts and reasoning won’t sway them. Calling Trump fat or smelly is better, because they know it’s true and it hurts their image of him.
