He didn’t destroy Iran’s nukes; he destroyed credibility. When the President lies about war, the fallout isn’t radioactive, it’s political, moral, and damn near irreversible.
Donald J Trump lies so much and so transparently, that when he was announcing his obliterative victory…many of us were thinking “ok, so what really happened here?” It has gotten to the point where a thinking person has to doubt what he says every time that he opens his mouth, and doubting is usually the best bet, because Trump lies when the truth would do . Do Americans really deserve better? If we don’t vote for “better” then we’re not going to get it. America actually elected this, instead of a level-headed and capable woman. We had better get our collective act together for the midterms and 2028, and elect leadership and representation that favors all Americans instead of an autocratic oligarchy of rich white men.
You beat me to it. All this talk about We Deserve Better! We don’t. We are reaping just what we sowed by electing a crook, a liar, an egomaniac, a vulgarian and more to the highest office. We all knew in advance what this man was, and yet millions elected him.
Once again, BRILLIANT. I'm out there. I'm Fighting! I don't know how to NOT. But this was so incredibly well written, that even I am feeling an even stronger sense of duty and urgency here. These are the most dangerous of times any of us will probably ever experience. If this doesn't wake us all up to the responsibility we all have to save our country, and save humanity itself, I don't know what will. Thank you Michael Cohen. We keep going. We can, and we MUST.
Thanks for your honesty. America is truly alone and unprotected because of lies, propaganda, and misinformation! That’s the part I’m really having a hard time with! I have no more patience for ignorance or stupidity. 😡
Unfortunately, we have a president who lies for a living. His penchant for lying about everything gives him no credibility. And he whines about everything everyday. He sounds like a 6 year old. So disappointing to see this as the person who represents the US on the world stage
My hope, though very slim, is that Congress will wake up and admit what is happening and will act. There are more republicans asking questions. Mind you, not enough, but some. If those that are asking questions, start making cases, maybe more will follow and they will start doing the right thing. I pray for that every day. With the bombing and the lies it might start to scare the hell out of more of them.
He wants a Nobel Peace Prize so bad he fabricated the results of the strike, claimed to have put a ceasefire in place that didn't hold, which made him furious. Now he has to come up with another storyline to get the Prize.
I never use the P word when referring to him. I never used it the first term either. trump works for me. I also never use a capital t. Just my way of personal retaliation.
Never forget who Iran's allies are. Russia, China, North Korea all have the technology to assist Iran in the development of the delivery system if they deem it to their advantage to do so. Trump is getting played and has no clue.
"At some point, the lie metastasizes. It’s no longer about the words. It’s about the precedent. And the precedent Trump just set; again, is that the President of the United States can fabricate a major foreign policy victory, wave it around like a bloody flag, and move on without so much as a fact-check from his own party." - SCARY AND CONCERNING
Included with President Obama's treaty with Iran was a requirement for inspecting Iran's nuclear facilities on a regular basis. What did Trump expect, and ADDITIONALLY, what did ANYONE expect, would happen with those facilities once Trump dismissed the treaty? Snce we cannot roll back time, everyone in the US government with enough responsibility, need to own the current situation, search for whatever truthful information is available, and work with our allies in finding solutions. Trump should own it, but really? If a disruptive child sets a house on fire, do you order him to put it out and wait while the house disintegrates, or do you call the fire department?
I wish someone would have given him a chance to have a comedy show after 2020. He would have been content, getting the applause for his sad, confused, stolen jokes he repeats from the King of the Hill cartoon from 2007. “Ah tell you what, my wife Peggy had to flush that dang lo flo toilet 20 times.”
His cult could have gone to shows, bought merch… the networks could have make their pile of cash promoting him till everyone was ready to puke, everybody would have been happy.

Never the dark side & may the force be with you.

Amen.
Indeed, we should. More should run.
Well said!
Michael, he ALWAYS lies. He has no concept of truth.
In my head reading your article I hear your voice like you reading it to me. I watch all of your lives. Thank you for your hard work.
This administration is built on lies and lies alone! They do not know what truth is!

He doesn’t care at all about peace.
He just wants the Nobel Peace prize.
What a hollow specimen.
Wants his face arved into Mt. Rushmore!!
Do we seriously have to refer to him as president trump... what happened to mr or just plain trump...
I never use the P word when referring to him. I never used it the first term either. trump works for me. I also never use a capital t. Just my way of personal retaliation.
I agree.
I cringe when mainstream media call him the president.
There are a few who call him trump.
Even that is too kind.
I enjoy an aka Mr. C. coined "Baron Von Shitsinpants" LOL (@)
Felon trump!
💯🎯
Really appreciate all you do Michael. You are so right! 👍🏾

I believe you and IN you, Michael. You’ve paid your dues. So.. next?
