Appreciate Michael Cohen’s insight. Honestly, I was skeptical, based on his history with Trump. But I’ve found him to be one of the most interesting commentators out there.
Msg to Michael: someone else is using the exact same photo and name as you on a fake site. Followed me and started chat with lots of praise. Got my phone number and started chat on signal with unidentified id. I blocked him after that. Just saying. I don’t understand what he’s after……writing here because other people also may be fooled!
Subject: Formal Objection to the Nomination of Donald J. Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize
Dear Members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee,
I am writing as a concerned global citizen to formally object to any nomination of Donald J. Trump, the former President of the United States, for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Mr. Trump’s actions during and after his presidency are incompatible with the principles and legacy of Alfred Nobel, who envisioned the Peace Prize as a recognition of those who work to reduce armed conflict, foster diplomacy, and advance human dignity. In contrast, Mr. Trump’s record reveals a pattern of behavior that has escalated global tensions, endangered civilian populations, and undermined international norms of human rights and peace.
My objections are based on the following:
1. Escalation of Global Warfare:
• Mr. Trump authorized the preemptive drone strike that killed Iranian General Qassem Soleimani in early 2020, an act condemned by numerous international legal experts as a violation of international law and a potential act of war without Congressional approval.
• His administration’s erratic approach to foreign policy—including abrupt withdrawals and provocations—created instability in regions like Syria, Afghanistan, and North Korea.
2. Destabilization of Europe and Ukraine:
• By withholding critical military aid to Ukraine in 2019 for political leverage, Mr. Trump not only undermined U.S. diplomatic commitments but also emboldened Russia, increasing the likelihood of war.
• This delay forced countries like France and Germany to assume military burdens, and most recently Denmark has had to construct a weapons factory to support Ukraine—putting these peaceful nations at greater risk of being targeted.
3. Human Rights Violations:
• Under his administration, the U.S. government operated detention centers for migrant children and families, described by human rights groups as modern-day concentration camps, often separating children from their parents in violation of international human rights standards.
• His policies and rhetoric further dehumanized asylum seekers, reducing civil immigration violations to criminal-level treatment, and fostering xenophobia.
4. Neglect of Justice and Civil Rights:
• Mr. Trump routinely turned a blind eye to systemic injustices affecting minority communities, including false imprisonment and racially biased policing practices.
• His administration repeatedly sought to undermine civil liberties, and his inflammatory rhetoric fueled a rise in domestic political violence and polarization.
These actions, collectively, represent the antithesis of peace-building. Honoring such a figure with the Nobel Peace Prize would severely compromise the integrity of the award and send a dangerous message to the world: that power and provocation may be mistaken for diplomacy and peace.
I respectfully urge the Committee to reject any consideration of Donald J. Trump as a Nobel Peace Prize nominee, and to reaffirm the values of peace, accountability, and humanitarian leadership that the Nobel legacy represents.
I, too, was alarmed when Trump at a press conference said he wished Ghislane Maxwell well. I thought why would he say that as a President in public unless she had something on him.
I enjoy listening to "the routes" that different ones of you take that bring a variety of perspectives, as you "end up at the same destination". Hearing the discussions help us to evaluate and draw conclusions ourselves. It's great to see different hosts/commentators pair up on Substack and the guests you all bring to share their knowledge of this ongoing travesty we call the tRump Administration. It is an added bonus to listen to Michael and Lev and the hands-on information they bring from their life experiences with THIS president. Michael knows his moves, the whys, and understand from a close-up and personal relationship the inner thoughts of dear leader and how in 2.0, he is easily manipulated to meet the goals of the regime puppet masters while Lev has inside knowledge to the Putin's insidious objectives.
Michael, calm down just because you didn't witness it for a decade and a half doesn't mean that wasn't going on prior to that!! Hell there was even a picture of him and Melania with him. If you Would be quiet for ONE minute and let Ben talk he's not talking about when you were with him. We know you're with him- give it a break. IF he was screwing underage girls in the 90s doesn't make it any better because you weren't with him. He still would be guilty. Sounds like you just can't quit Trump Michael.
The Epstein files are not just the decade you were with Trump. Do you understand it's been going on for a long time. Stop saying you know everything about the files cause you don't, no one does we haven't seen them!
Do you think MAGA will care if they find out Trump is a pedophile? I don’t think they will. Elon thinks he has leverage because he can supposedly release the Epstein Files but it won’t make a difference. I’m wondering if he could negotiate an immunity deal and spill the details about how the Trump campaign rigged the election. Also, if Elon knows that the supposed “assassination attempt” was a farce to evoke sympathy from his base then let that come out. Maybe there could be a congressional inquiry?

Yup.
They'll financially ruin him and then deport him! Watch.
Who will financially ruin who? And deport who? How do you see this ending? What exactly is the plan?
You guys are great! I'm grateful you're willing to hold so many terrible and evil facts in your mind to be able to help us understand.

Thank you for writing this letter. I agree and will be forwarding this letter to the committee if it’s ok with you.
Awesome ! Absolutely !
Thank you. Totally agree and Netanyahu recommending him is BS. They both are criminals who deserve no recognition.
He is a bootlicker
Bravo!!
Thanks

Very insightful and healthy discussion. Thanks to the both of you ! 🤟❤️🔥
maybe Elon knows details about how the 2024 election was rigged
$$$ 🗳️

I love listening to Ben. You have an amazing way of summarizing statements and comments in a non-emotional, logical way that is very believable.
It's time to talk impeachment.

So Michael Cohen is saying fighting Trump is useless if you have anything valuable to lose?
Thanks, Ben, for hanging in there and keeping us informed too.
