Michael Cohen said he was disappointed that Donald Trump didn't consider him for his Chief of Staff role in the White House.
Trump didn't offer him the position, and Cohen even admitted he didn't "believe" the role was the right fit, but he just wanted his name included with other candidates.
“I had other ideas for myself that I wanted but I wanted to be considered. It was more about my ego than anything," Cohen said.

‘Pissed off’: How Cohen reacted to Trump cutting his bonus in 2016
By Kyle Schnitzer
Michael Cohen explained how Trump dished out annual bonuses around the office — and how he reacted having his bonus cut by two-thirds in 2016.
“I used quite a few expletives,” Cohen said recalling a conversation with Allen Weisselberg about his skinny bonus.
Cohen said he used “colorful language about how truly pissed off and angry I was.”
Trump would have Rhona Graff, his personal assistant, walk around the office and give employees a Christmas card signed by Trump and others, Cohen testified — explaining that inside the card would be a check for the bonus that year.
“Rhona came and delivered the envelope and the Christmas card,” Cohen said about the 2016 year.
Cohen said he was “angry – beyond angry. Cut my bonus by two-thirds.”
He said he was personally insulted by Trump cutting his bonus after he laid out “$130,000 on his behalf to protect him.”
“I was truly insulted, personally hurt. I didn’t understand it, made no sense, after all I had gone through – the campaign, things at the Trump Organization,” Cohen testified.
“Laying out 130K on his behalf to protect him – it was insulting the gratitude shown back to me was to cut a bonus by two-thirds.”
Trump took a few scratches to his neck during Cohen’s testimony.
They’ll probably bring this up in cross-examination.
Today was rough for Trump, but I think he’s gonna be fine when his defense takes over tomorrow.
Cohen has a major axe to grind with Trump.
Explains his motivations.
and that is why this huge vendetta against Trump started..did Cohen seriously think for one second he had ANY chance at being chief of staff..gee I had a better chance at getting the job
LOL LOL Cohen thought he deserved more dough LOL LOL must have made him even matter in court today seeing Trump laugh and nod in agreement that yep, he didn’t give him more moolah
He also thought he could get to be Attorney General.
Trump is actually a very generous man. If Cohen did not get a big bonus that year, he did not earn it that year.
Michael Cohen’s delusional... He was lucky to have a flunky job with Trump.
He probably would have a done a better job than Barr so I give him that
Trump had nothing personally to do with this— nothing. The dude got reimbursed, and... he generally did a crap job on all else Trump Org hired him for— as he is an incompetent street a@@clown “lawyer” . Lining his pockets, humping Stormy and shaking down the “bonus” he thinks is due him.
Criminal minds he and Stormy working together with the Criminal NY DA and the demonrat scum party.
That would be like Lady Dedlock promoting Hortense in “Bleak House”.
Cohen, Chief of Staff?
That sure qualifies as Grand Delusion.
“Michael Cohen said”
See, that’s a problem. Cohen is a convicted perjurer so anything he says is irrelevant.
A sign of narcissism in my book.
Cohen seems to be a total mental case. Trump should have never hired him or gotten rid of him quickly.
What crime was alleged?
Sour grapes, aisle 3.
