Former President Donald Trump’s former attorney, Jenna Ellis, made waves online after her smiling mug shot went viral. In a clever move, Ellis herself posted the photo on X, formerly known as Twitter, along with a scripture verse to explain her smile despite being in custody. She quoted, “‘But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use you and persecute you …’ Matt 5:44” and “‘But he who trusts in the Lord, loving kindness shall surround him. Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous ones; And shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart.’ Psalm 32:10-11.” What a classy way to handle the situation!
Of course, some users on X had to rain on Ellis’s parade. One user criticized her for quoting scripture but not living by it. Seriously? Can’t a woman have her mug shot moment without being judged? And let’s not forget the haters who couldn’t resist bringing up her past alleged lies. Look, she may be facing legal issues, but that doesn’t mean we should forget all her hard work and dedication to the Trump campaign.

It’s clear that despite the challenges she may face, Ellis has a strong base of supporters who believe in her.
In conclusion, Jenna Ellis may be in some legal trouble, but she is facing it head-on with grace and a smile. Her use of scripture to explain her positive attitude is truly inspiring.
