He’s one of those people that always has to have the last word.
Edit:
In a post on his Truth Social platform Wednesday, Trump called his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, and the adult film actor Stormy Daniels “two sleaze bags who have, with their lies and misrepresentations, cost our Country dearly!”
Won’t someone rid me of this meddlesome priest?!
Edit 2: Sorry, the actual quote is, “Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?”
-Henry II of England
Tbf, that is all absolutely true about Michael Cohen.
Right, but he cost our country by helping Trump commit crimes!
"Yes, I know this assassin is saying I hired him to murder someone, but how can you trust him? He's an assassin I hired.
Only hires the best people ...
I accidentally tried to upvote your comment twice. Once for each sentence as I finished them.
Yeah, I remember hearing some of the recordings of conversations he had with people Trump was defrauding. They were threats really. Very chilling behavior. I still don’t believe that he did a 180 degree turn around in his behavior out of altruism.
Michael Cohen indeed is two bags of sleaze
This is the kind of thing future generations will look back at and say
"Wtf why did they let him get away with this shit? Were they stupid?"
Current generations are saying it now.
It's like he wants the contempt order so he can claim a mistrial...
He wants to tant the jury pool as well. He wants to make the judge do some drastic so he can have something to appeal.
Like I keep saying they are trying not give him ammunition to appeal on. And I keep saying he going keep appealing no mater what so hold him to the same standards as everyone else. But they won't.
He definitely wants to get thrown in jail. He thinks he can fundraise a lot better from there. Too bad he's unlikely to get sent to Rikers like his CFO was.
The judge should fine him and increase the fines accordingly. Of course you or I would be in jail immediately, but that would play into the orange mobster's hand in this scenario.
He's lived such a privileged life, I wonder what a week in a cell/jail would do to him.
I think it would change his life, even if it gave him campaign material for when he got out.
I wonder if it would rock his confidence enough to make a difference.
He ain't going to Rikers though. Best case he goes to country club. Or house arrest. Or take away his phone privileges.
He would love that.
His constant spew of misinformation on the firehose setting has got to bite him in the ass eventually. I hope.🤞
I hear Vietnam has an excellent way to curtail "inflammatory" speech that works well on billionaires.
He’s a broke b. though. Owned and paid by foreign interests.
