'I can fake being smart': Trump lawyer Alina Habba says she'd rather be pretty
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Donald Trump's attorney wants the public to know her good looks are more important than her intelligence, because she can "fake being smart."
“I don’t think I’d be on T.V. or sitting here if I didn’t look the way I look,” Alina Habba said Thursday. “It doesn’t hurt to be good looking.”
Habba was asked to discuss her physical appearance on the PBD Podcast by co-host Bryan Callen, who questioned why an “alpha male” like Trump would pick her for his $250 million fraud case defense.
“He picks a smart, feminine, capable woman,” Callen said.
“Right,” Habba agreed.
“How much of you being an attractive, smart, do you think played into that?” Callen asked.
Habba then launched into a long answer during which she declared she is not a feminist and would rather be pretty than smart (“I can fake being smart.")
“When you’re good looking, that’s great,” Habba said. “People think that President Trump hired me because I’m good looking. That is absolutely not the case.”
This exchange quickly made its way to X where users professed themselves delighted, charmed and impressed.
“Legally Bland,” replied Anthony LoPresti.
“Sound legal strategy from Trump,” replied @PatriotTakes.
Clay Moser had advice: “She should start at least faking she’s smart.”
Chris Herbst paraphrased: “Basically, ‘I’m not a good lawyer, but I play one on tv.’”

Legally Blond, or blind?
Let's face it, nobody's going to hire a lawyer who looks like Lena the Hyena:
But maybe they should - it would scare the shit out of everybody.
