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.
