Internet slams 'over your head' Alina Habba for 'celebrating herself' after major defeat

Donald Trump lawyer Alina Habba has been criticized extensively following the massive $83.3 million jury verdict against her client, but some legal and political experts say she's taking a victory lap anyway.

Habba, who has been accused of costing the former president millions of dollars with her poor performance at the trial, took to social media afterward with a vague, positive remark.

"This is far from over," Habba posted on social media on Friday. "We are just getting started." The attorney then included emojis of an American flag, a boxing glove, and the hashtag, "MAGA." To someone without knowledge of the court case, it might look like she had just been victorious.

The post prompted reactions from Trump biographer Tim O'Brien, who said, "The thing you say when you're utterly in over your head legally and you and your client just got hit with an $83.3 million judgment," as well as former White House correspondent Brian J. Karem, who also chose to chime in on Habba's X post.

"You are literally too stupid to know you're done," he said on Saturday. "Like a chicken with its head cut off. You can walk around for a bit. But that doesn't mean you've got a future."

In another example of Habba's purported victory lap, she is seen commenting on a post that said, "If I ever need an attorney, I'm calling [Habba]." Habba's comment in a screenshot includes a bicep emoji and an American flag.

U.S. Army Iraq War Veteran Peter Henlein picked up on that interaction, saying "Alina Habba is in the replies of MAGA influencers, celebrating herself....the day after losing an 83M case."

"These people are idiots," he added. Jenna Ellis, the former Trump attorney who pleaded guilty after being charged alongside the ex-president in the Georgia criminal case alleging election subversion, reposted that quote.
