Michael, I couldn't be more proud of the stand you took for integrity. We've all fucked up at some point, but we grow and then some of the more courageous ones own up to their mistakes, and go on to change the world. This, obviously is what you're doing. I'm sure your family is very proud of you. Much love and affection. Stu
I agree with Stuart. You are a compelling writer with unique insights into the Trump worldview and practices. And you are using your experiences and knowledge and training as an attorney for the good. I very much appreciate what you are doing. Thank you.
I'm probably only encouraging your inappropriate comments, but c'mon, give it up. Your guy, Mr. Could We Maybe Inject Bleach and Promoter of the incredibly long named horse medicine that, amazingly, he was able to pronounce correctly, probably coached, was the main reason the U.S. had so many Covid related deaths and such a haphazard incompetent response. Quit beating this old dead horse, as the saying goes, and head back to Truth Social or X. You're sure to find a more welcome reception on those propaganda platforms. Over and out.
Not on topic, ladies.. We're talking about what's going on today in the Trumpland horror show, not things that Mr Trump did to a respected scientist and public health official 6 or so years ago. All distraction and what-aboutism, just like your incompetent, yet profoundly dangerous, cult leader.
Michael, I so appreciate your writings. You are direct and you hit the nail on the head. What is going on in this country is disgusting and very scary, but you present the issues in a way that sometimes I just have to laugh. The humor that you interject is absolutely necessary. Thank you!
JD having to schedule a meeting with Trump through Elon's assistant? If this situation were not so dire, that would be comedy gold. Thanks for the insights.
Michael, were you ever able to have an authentic moment with him? One where you were able to be yourself, speak your mind, tell him no? Or were you always on guard due to his ego? I am genuinely curious if being in his inner circle is more exhausting than being outside of it.
It will take some time for Trump's disastrous policies to produce their full catastrophic effects.
The US economy is already plummeting and will further degrade with rising unemployment, inflation, and stagnant growth.
People will suffer in many different ways as a result of Trump's attack on institutions and basic government services.
The US will end up alone on the world stage, every other country having moved on from the chaos, the threats, and the insults, to find other trading partners and allies.
Trump will continue to try to find scapegoats for every failure because he cannot admit that he's at fault. At one point, I suspect that it will not work anymore when enough people come out from under his spell after having lost everything.
Thank you Michael Cohen for speaking out. Maybe enough people will wake up to reality and the worst will not come to pass.
So well said. Much better than my rants. I find it so frustrating to be living in these times. I want better for myself, my children, my grandchildren and my great-grandchildren. I want us to be a great country again, get along with our allies, be fair and prosperous. It's going to take many years to get those things back after the destruction that this man has done.
Your wit and a cup of coffee help me face the Alice In Wonderland day that confronts all of us every morning.
Gotta say, if you had chosen standup comedy as a career your life could have been very different. But you hit the nail on the head always, and you only have to deal with one heckler in your audience at a time.
Elizabeth Cornell how did you find substack? Dr fauci was a very well known doctor with PhDs in science and health he is also one of the doctors who found a remedy for HIV and AIDS please Elizabeth I beg of you Read up on Dr fauci before you speak his name or try to tarnish it please and thank you
Michael, your stacks are like prose from a well-written book. I love reading your insights and incredible understanding of the drama Americans are now immersed. The heat is building. I do feel so sorry for Powell who’s stuck between a rock and a hard place! The world’s finances are teetering on the brink of…..? From an admiring reader down under.
Kudos, Michael Cohen, for such a concise article ..an apt, articulate, and precise characterization of the man some call the president, though presidential he is not.
This was one of your best, Cohen. Why do these Mensa Morons think that they will somehow be different? There isn't a bus big enough to throw them under. Then he gets (if possible) even the worst of the worst after these idiots go. Who's up next for Pete's job? "Big Balls" from Elon's crew? He will never get rid of Elon. He needs his money desperately. He needs his Nazi hordes on Twitter.He needs him.for Xi and Putin. The one whose fall I will enjoy the most at the moment is Howard Lutnick..What a nauseating asskisser. All his billions can't buy him one iota of pride. He saw the billions of Jared and Steve Mnuchin dancing in his head. Must be why he is so busy kissing Saudi ass, all the while they killed his brother and 680 Cantor Fitzgerald employees on 9/11 including friends.of my family. I curse him.
Again, thank you for doing all of this for us, We the People. We all know that tRump needs to go before he causes any more harm to out Nation. How can we do it? I would love to see him get his walking papers and for someone to say 'YOU ARE FIRED." HE NEEDS TO GO. Even his usefulness was useless. He has no usefulness. He is a snake trying to be this great president. His greatness is only in his eyes not ours. We are the one's suffering, not him. He is so callous that, I bet if it rained while he wanted to golf it would be the people's fault. We disturbed the weather pattern for his highness. Only it would be his high a_s. DONALD, YOU ARE FIRED! You are the poorest of excuses for a president and even for a living human being. I hope that enough of your maga loose enough money that even they won't support you. God Bless and God Bless America. (This is frustration typing these words. Frustration of having an A hole for president of our once great country.)

Kind of like what he did to Dr. Fauci’s good name!
Wow Russian bots have infiltrated Substack too
Ummmm... You do know, your not on a maga space 🤪
Russian Bots are on this page
Oops! Wrong turn! This is a One Way street!

Examine his successful history, education and intelligence (all of which are foreign to Trump), you science skeptic!
He weaponized the science he knew. “It’s the science” Yeah
right. And by the way, if you knew the truth about his history, you would not be so impressed.

Sandbox time again toddler.

The Felonious Cheeto sure belongs in jail.

And potentially responsible for unnecessary stress to Pope Francis--his potential for evil is real!
Totally agree!
I love your colorful phrases and writing style.
Remember, I have two NYT best selling books…a #1 and a #8.
Me too. somehow when I hear Micheals flat New York(( which part, Mcheal??) I feel reassured
Michael, were you ever able to have an authentic moment with him? One where you were able to be yourself, speak your mind, tell him no? Or were you always on guard due to his ego? I am genuinely curious if being in his inner circle is more exhausting than being outside of it.
I love this question. And would love to see the answer.
A portrait of Conald Chaos would never hang in my favorite MoMA. The orange fuck deserves to hang in Rykers, LITERALLY!
Hence, the word “hang”
Brilliant writing! Just made my day!

Natural comedian. Natural...

I blocked "her."

Absolutely, incredible: "Trump’s Vice President still has to schedule meetings through Elon’s assistant."
Kudos, Michael Cohen, for such a concise article ..an apt, articulate, and precise characterization of the man some call the president, though presidential he is not.
I, (personally) would omit the words “man and president”. He is definitely neither one.
This was one of your best, Cohen. Why do these Mensa Morons think that they will somehow be different? There isn't a bus big enough to throw them under.
