Trump and Cohen Go Slagging.

So who should we side with in the Trump vs Cohen spat? Cohen paints Trump as the lowest form of sub-humanity; Trump says Cohen is a liar and a loser. So which is right?

Well, Cohen’s depiction of Trump is pretty much exactly how I’ve always seen Trump anyway, so Cohen’s depiction is vindication of my own judgement through watching the whole sorry saga of the Trump presidency from 3,000 miles away (and growing very tired of it.). But I’m not stupid. Could it be that Cohen is simply tuning into the general opinion of his adversary held by the savvier end of American society, and is making the whole thing up to preach to the converted so as to make a lot of money from sales of his book? I don’t suppose we’ll ever know, but I did find a couple of the assertions at least amusing.

Trump on Hispanics: ‘I will never get the Hispanic vote. Like the blacks, they’re too stupid to vote for Trump.’ So only smart people vote Trump? What a fascinating and hilarious concept.

Trump on Stormy Daniels: ‘But I bet (my supporters) would think it’s cool that I slept with a porn star.’ That’s because they’re stupid, Donald. You need no credentials to sleep with a porn star. You don’t even need a libido. All you need is lots of money, because that’s the game they’re in.
