US President Donald Trump lashed out at a federal judge and his family during a speech at his Mar-a-Lago resort, citing the charges against him as an example of how "deep state" actors are trying to destroy his reputation.
According to CNN's Maggie Haberman, who attended the event, Trump's comments were motivated by his desire to deflect attention away from himself and onto those he perceives as his enemies.
When asked about Trump's remarks, Haberman stated that they reflected a common strategy used by Trump to turn the narrative around on his critics, shifting the focus away from his own actions and policies.
Haberman explained that Trump has repeatedly attempted to create an alternate reality where his opponents are the villains, drawing attention away from the facts of the case and the charges against him.

. Its always about blaming others and making excuses, and it gets old fast 
. If hes got nothing to hide, why does he keep attacking the people who are trying to hold him accountable? It feels like hes more worried about his reputation than actually fixing things 
. And honestly, I think its kinda sad that he thinks shifing the focus away from himself will magically make everything better 
.
so like trump's doing it again 
. he tries to deflect by attacking others and making them out to be the bad guys. but honestly, it's just not that hard to take responsibility for yourself 
. i mean, if someone's trying to destroy your rep, maybe try addressing the issues instead of throwing shade at others? 
, but newsflash: it's just not working 
. people see right through it and still want to hold you accountable for your actions. that's what being a leader is all about 
. btw, can someone pls draw a diagram of how this whole "deep state" thing works? 
Donald Trump is really taking it to a whole new level with these attacks on the judge & his fam!!! 
It's like he's trying to deflect all the attention away from himself & onto others 
. I mean, we've seen him do this before, but this time it's just so intense! 
️, and this is serving up some serious drama 
!
This isn't some kinda masterclass in deflecting blame, it's just more of the same ol' BS. And honestly, who does he think he's fooling? The American people? Please! We see right through this "deep state" nonsense. He's trying to spin the narrative to fit his own ego, but we're not buying it! 
. NEWS FLASH, DONALD: JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE CHARGED WITH SOMETHING DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE GUILTY 
. THIS STRATEGY ALWAYS SEEMS TO BACKFIRE IN THE END, BUT HE JUST CAN'T HELP HIMSELF 
.
. It's not exactly inspiring confidence in his ability to handle tough situations...
. This whole "deep state" thing is just a convenient excuse for him to pretend like the system is stacked against him 
. Newsflash: we all get caught up in the drama sometimes and make questionable decisions, but at least Trump's got the balls to admit it 
.
