President Donald Trump prompted backlash from his MAGA followers and other "America First" Republicans, after making a post hailing Alan Dershowitz as a "Great American Patriot." "The Highly Respected Alan Dershowitz has written a powerful new book, 'Why I quit the Dems and so should you! "Trump expands his base by welcoming Epstein’s lawyer Alan Dershowitz into MAGA. "'THE Highly Respected' Alan Dershowitz," Buckley Carlson, the son of Tucker Carlson and former JD Vance staffer, wrote on X, sarcastically attributing the quote to, "Donald Trump, world-renowned military strategist, Economist, Ethicist, & Deacon." Trump just called Jeffrey Epstein’s former lawyer Alan Dershowitz 'highly respected' and endorsed his new book," Kacee Allen, the former Republican podcast, wrote in a post.
