The Awkward Exile of Michael Cohen

[brooklynite]

Political Wire:

After saying he’d attend Mr. Cohen’s son’s bar mitzvah in 2012, Mr. Trump was late, and the blessings were delayed, according to an attendee.

After Mr. Trump arrived, he gave a speech, telling guests he hadn’t planned to come, but he relented after Mr. Cohen had repeatedly called him, his secretary and his children begging him to appear, the attendee said. The guests laughed because “everyone knew it was very realistic-sounding,” the attendee added.

Mr. Cohen found himself on the outside during the presidential transition… He tried to find a role for himself by building bridges between Mr. Trump and the business community, but never got traction, this person said.

During the inaugural festivities, Mr. Cohen and his guests weren’t given priority access to the festivities… the hurt was visible on Mr. Cohen’s face: “He was always just at the edges.”

Donald Trump always has your back.....he just sticks a knife in it.

1. I don't think Trump is capable of having true friends.

Only social tools to feed his malignant narcissism.

2. Never invite Trump unless you want your event to be about him...

3. Never invite Trump

That's enough.

10. It's worse than all that

He invites himself. During the campaign there was a story from years back where he crashed a charity event and weaseled his way in amongst the VIP big money donors, when he had never given the charity a dime, nor been invited in any manner.

11. Yeah, I know

It was my lame attempt at a joke.

But let me ask an honest question. Why would anyone want to belong to one of his clubs? Why would someone want to go to Mar-a-Lago for dinner or golf? Especially at the prices Trump charges! It baffles me.

4. During the campaign it was learned that despite his 'waving the bloody shirt',

he did not attend ONE funeral after 9/11, despite his claims of going to many.
He was universally praised for his 'righteous indignation' and put-down of Jeb in this after one of the debates.

6. He also claimed to have given money and of course he did not. nt

7. Trump's an insufferable boor.

You ask better questions than your parents! Trump greets White House reporters' children at bring your kids to work day event with insult on their moms and dads

8. There are always lifelong masochists: Gotta be the victim of someone...

They're drawn to monsters like moths to a flame. And the monsters count on it.

Somewhere in the bowels of Cohen's soul he gets off on this. All the mobsters do.

9. Chump and Cohen...
