WASHINGTON, DC: President Donald Trump's advisor Alina Habba recently took to X (formerly Twitter) to share an extremely dolled-up picture of herself, which did not sit well with many Trump admirers.

Habba, who previously served as a legal spokesperson for the MAGA leader, currently holds the title of counselor to the president, which is a role primarily involved in communications. However, a counselor can do other duties as well, according to The List.



 

Alina Habba shares eye-catching glam shot

Alina Habba took to X on Friday, March 14, and posted an eye-grabbing picture in a dashing pink suit with a sharply contrasting black top. She accessorized her look with a diamond necklace and had her makeup on point. 

There also seemed to be some hair extensions that helped her dodge another hair fail, according to The List.

People online, especially MAGA supporters, felt that Habba's photo didn’t reflect her key position in the Trump White House.

Trump had previously appointed Kellyanne Conway in Habba's position in 2016 to manage communications.

Notably, the role should not be confused with that of the White House counsel, who advises the president on legal issues, as Trump appointed David Warrington for the role, per the outlet.

The counselor to the president, who represented Trump during his hush money and civil fraud cases, recently made headlines as she recently called out Democratic Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) over her past as a bartender.

Habba mocked AOC’s past as she discussed the New York Democrat’s intelligence and political acumen on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show on March 13.



 

During the show, Hannity said, "Jasmine Crockett and AOC and the Squad seem to be leading the ‘intellectual thought’ of the Democratic Party."

"What intellectual thought, Sean? The last I saw, they’re dancing down the halls of Congress," Habba replied.

She added, "I’ve never seen anything like this, I’m watching TikToks of crazy things. They’re singing, they’re dancing."

Mocking AOC over her bartending past, Habba said, "You were in the bar. You were in a bar. You were in a bar, AOC. Calm down. And not to have a drink, to serve one."

Donald Trump admirers troll Alina Habba as she shares dolled-up photo

One wrote, "Not another one. This is why Trump should have just hired men. Just do your job and don't lie to us again," while another added, "What do you even do around here?"

"A male counselor to POTUS would never embarrass himself like this," a person said, whereas someone else remarked, "Grown woman in her 40’s with kids and a husband still posing and acting like some 24 year old Influencer. How embarrassing."

"Dear lord this is embarrassing. We need more Susie Wiles in the administration that gets things done instead of beautiful insta influencer types," another comment read.

One more said, "'I'd rather be pretty than be smart' - you should really get that t-shirt!"

"If you Trump team members worked as hard trying to help America as you did doing interviews and modeling on social media, we might get some things done. You Kristi and Pam like that camera!" an individual wrote in a sarcastic tone. 

Another person said, "What is the point of this picture Alina? You’re there to work. Not post selfies. Everyone knows that you are beautiful and incredibly smart. What’s the point of this Kardashianesque picture? And why did you add hair extensions? Last week you had a classic, sophisticated style. This week it’s hair extensions and vanity shots. Come on. Do the job you were hired to do."
