Michael Cohen says he reconciled with Trump

Source: The Hill

07/06/26 11:11 PM ET


President Trump’s former personal attorney Michael Cohen on Monday said he and the president have reconciled after he turned on his former boss. Cohen joined John Catsimatidis and Rita Cosby for Friday’s “Cats & Cosby Show” on 77 WABC to talk about the president and said the “far left … brought back the relationship” roughly six months ago.

“Out of nowhere, when I was sitting with my wife at a restaurant, my phone buzzed and it was a text from that friend who expressed to me the president’s genuine empathy for the hell that I was being dragged through … I deeply appreciated that text,” Cohen said. “I actually texted the president. I thanked him. Expressed my sincere hope that this long, exhausting feud between the two of us could finally end.”

Cohen said Trump replied back “almost immediately” and said it was “actually time for us to meet.” “We both knew the cost of this war,” he said about their feud. “In that moment the ice between us, it didn’t just melt, it broke.”

Cohen said ” the left embraced me as their ultimate weapon against” Trump and that he “deviated from their script. The pack, they turned feral.”

Both should be in prison. I'm betting he was reminded how entangled he is in the Epstein files.

How do you reconcile with someone so vile as Trump?

You lower your moral values to the same level.

You get involved in one of Trump’s grifting schemes. I would bet money on it. Trump is going to fuck Cohen over, you can count on it.

He said he never met with Russians along with Ivanka and Jared in Prague in 2016 but
his cell phone was shown to be there. And his dad or uncle owned a bar in NYC where
the Russian Mob used to meet up @.

and I hated when he always popped up as some expert on something Trump was currently doing, when he hadn't been around him in years.

Mr. “Convicted felon” Trump has not pardoned his crooked lawyer.
Cohen has just toned down to get a gig back in the media.
Needed something to keep food on the table.
That’s it.

... apart from being a weasel, and knowing Trump as he does, Cohen would be an idiot if to think for one second that Trump won't chop him into chum the second it's convenient for him. In Trumpworld, loyalty only goes one way, and it ain't toward anyone but Trump.

That tells me all I need to know about Michael Cohen. But there is more. Much more.

I never bought his about-face on Trump.

they should never be forgiven and should be shunned.

Especially cultists who will attack the former master, but never apologize for the harm they caused.

His tortured life and demise in the final season was not pretty. His character was a turncoat that was willing to do anything to get back into the good graces of his friends whom he betrayed.

Rick Wilson, George Conway, Liz Cheney, Bill Kristol, Joe Wilson - who I recently saw posting reactionary bullshit regarding some fake flag scandal (some beach town made a request not to fly flags and balloons while birds were nesting. The usual suspects started screaming about ‘muh flag!’)


These people are not our friends. They are just embarrassed by the monster THEY HELPED CREATE and they’ll be back to calling us un-American commies at the drop of a hat.

Use them? Sure. But never trust them. Like Carlo in The Godfather - give them a living but don’t involve them in the family business… until it’s time for a ride to the airport.

He believed it was in his best interest to turn against Trump when he got fired. Now he thinks cozying up to Trump is in his best interest. He's never had any actual principles.

Biden didn't give him one, which he figured he would get if he acted anti-Trump, he was pissed when it didn't happen. I bet it won't happen this time either, just another dumbass that passes in out and back in the butt-load's orbit.
