Trump praises Alan Dershowitz, sparking outrage among MAGA supporters

Donald Trump shared a post on his Truth Social platform celebrating lawyer Alan Dershowitz, describing him as a "Great American Patriot" and promoting the attorney’s latest book. The message, which praised Dershowitz’s shift from the Democratic Party to Republican ideals, was reposted on X and drew immediate backlash from many within the MAGA and America First circles. Rep. Thomas Massie responded with sarcasm, suggesting the endorsement would expand Trump’s base ahead of the midterms, while Buckley Carlson mocked the language used by Trump.

Former Republican podcaster Kacee Allen also highlighted the apparent inconsistency given Trump’s past handling of Epstein-related matters. Numerous other users labeled the post as “gross,” “evil,” or even “treasonous,” reflecting deep unease over the lawyer’s controversial history with the Epstein case.
