In a candid interview on a podcast, Michael Cohen – the former lawyer to Donald Trump – provided some insight into the former president’s recent activities on social media.
Trump’s Mounting Anxieties
Cohen offered a stark perspective, claiming that Trump’s flurry of videos and memes is indicative of deep-seated fear, primarily driven by his escalating legal woes. With multiple criminal indictments looming and several potentially financially burdensome civil lawsuits on the horizon, Cohen said that Trump’s online presence serves as an outlet for his mounting anxieties.
Trump’s Defensive Strategy
Cohen implied that Trump’s online persona is a reflection of his inner turmoil, where he seeks solace by sharing his thoughts and grievances with his followers. He said: “Donald is running scared and this is what he does, he needs to vent and the only way that he can vent right now is to do it through his postings on [social media].”
Trump’s Verbal Attacks on Biden
One of the key triggers for Cohen’s commentary was a clip of Trump lashing out at President Joe Biden. In the video, the former president labeled Biden a “mental catastrophe” and accused him of “leading our country to Hell.” In response, Cohen said: “Yeah, he is leading our country to Hell while Diaper Donald is sitting there [pooping] in his Pampers.”
Trump’s Increasingly Questionable Credibility
Cohen’s choice of words was deliberately abrasive, aimed at highlighting the stark contrast between Trump’s rhetoric and his own assessment of the former president’s capabilities. The exchange really highlighted the potential felon’s increasingly questionable credibility.
Trump’s Overestimation of His Own Abilities
Cohen continued to criticize the former president and didn’t hold back when critiquing Trump’s self-perceived intelligence and competence. According to him, Trump’s belief that he possesses superior knowledge and insight is deeply flawed.
A Blunt Assessment
Cohen offered a blunt assessment and questioned why the former president’s fans continue to stand by his side. He said: “The truth is he doesn’t know [anything] and it is so amazing that he’s still got that stronghold over MAGAts who actually think the guy has half a brain.”
The Critique of Trump’s Online Behavior
Cohen concluded the interview with a poignant criticism of the former president’s ongoing online behavior, labeling it as one of his “dumbest” moves yet. In his view, Trump’s constant stream of combative and defensive posts is counterproductive and harmful.
Exacerbating Trump’s Legal Challenges
Conan’s conclusion suggests that he believes Trump’s online presence could further damage his image and exacerbate his legal challenges. Moreover, he isn’t alone in his view; it’s one shared by a plethora of individuals from across the political spectrum.
A Glimpse Into Trump’s Turbulent World
Cohen’s assessment really provides a glimpse into the turbulent world of the former president and a possible explanation for his chaotic online behavior. If he’s to be believed and Trump is really feeling anxious about his legal troubles, perhaps the former president isn’t as blindly confident as he seems.
The Internet Responded
News of Cohen’s words was shared across social media. While Trump’s fans complained and called their hero’s ex-lawyer names, some people found his explanation insightful and others simply criticized the former president’s behavior online.
Trump Is Childish
Some commenters claimed that the way Trump conducts himself on social media is proof that he isn’t fit to run the country. One person said: “Trump’s tirades are not very presidential at all. That’s not the kind of person I want in the Oval Office. Too childish and not very bright.”
A Delusional Old Man
Others suggested Trump’s family only remain on his side for money. One person said: “If anyone actually cared about that old man, his wife or sons or daughters [or] even grandkids, if anyone cared about him for more than his money, they’d have gotten the delusional old man some help. The fact that they have not and are not seen to be supporting him now tells the tale. Donald is despicable even to his whole family.”
Prison Is Not Kind to Old People
Some people discussed Trump’s potential future in prison, emphasizing that it’s an even harder place to be for someone of his age – and that’s without considering the hatred of him most other inmates will harbor. “I hope Trump takes a plea deal. Prison is not kind to old people,” one person said.
Trump’s Never Been Held Accountable
Others discussed the way Trump has never had to take responsibility for his actions before. “Of course Trump is running scared. He’s never been held accountable for anything in his life. He always either bought his way out of it or threw others under the bus to take the rap for him,” one person said.
History Repeats Itself
Some people looked to the past in an attempt to accurately predict the future. One person said: “History tells stories of the ages. Good always won over evil. In some cases, it [may have taken] a century or two but, in the end, evil empires met their demise.”
Evil Was Sleeping
The commenter continued: “I have faith in America surviving the evil that has engulfed it since its inception. We witnessed change over time. Trump has resurrected all the evil that we hoped was eliminated – it was just asleep. So, we start again by making sure [Trump] is no longer the leader of a political party here in America.”
Theories and Speculation
Some people speculated about possible future indictments. One person said: “I see a 5th indictment coming and that indictment will be for espionage – being an agent of the Russian government, outing CIA agents, [and] passing top secret documents to hostile foreign governments.”
Focused Like a Laser
Despite the overwhelming criticism of the former president, some of his fans did make an appearance in comment sections. One person said: “Scared isn’t how anyone with common sense would describe the Legendary President Donald J. Trump. Focused like a laser is more like it. What goes around will come back and bite you.”
