Michael Cohen in Book Claims Trump Often Made Racist, Sexist Remarks. White House says forthcoming publication is work of convicted felon without credibility
Wall Street Journal ^ | September 6, 2020 | Rebecca Davis O’Brien and Rebecca Ballhaus

Michael Cohen, President Trump’s longtime fixer, claims his former boss routinely made sexist and racist comments and that he “loved Putin,” in a book that also recounts, in colorful detail, his own role in myriad alleged schemes on Mr. Trump’s behalf which helped lead to Mr. Cohen’s conviction on federal charges.

A copy of the book, “Disloyal: A Memoir,” was reviewed by The Wall Street Journal before its publication date on Tuesday.

In the book Mr. Cohen recounts watching Mr. Trump allegedly “corner pretty women in his office and forcibly kiss them as they recoiled,” often grabbing them by their cheeks and pulling them toward him. About two dozen women have accused the president of sexual misconduct in recent years; he has denied their allegations.

Mr. Trump described contestants in the Miss Universe contest, which he once owned, as “the finest pieces of ass from every state and country,” Mr. Cohen writes. Mr. Cohen also recounts standing on the grounds at Mr. Trump’s Bedminster, N.J., golf club in 2012, as Mr. Trump pointed to the tennis courts—where Mr. Cohen’s then 15-year-old daughter, Samantha, was playing—and said: “Look at that piece of ass…I would love some of that.”

After Mr. Cohen told his boss that he was referring to his daughter, the lawyer writes that Mr. Trump responded: “When did she get so hot?” Samantha Cohen was disgusted, Mr. Cohen writes.

The White House dismissed the allegations in the book, one of a series of books published this summer by former confidants of the president that offer harshly critical accounts of Mr. Trump. White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany in a statement said: “Michael Cohen is a disgraced felon and disbarred lawyer, who lied to Congress.

Remember when this lowlife was on Foxnews every night fighting for Trump?

Doesn’t matter. All of these “revelations” are baked into the cake.

Mr. Trump described contestants in the Miss Universe contest, which he once owned, as “the finest pieces of ass from every state and country,”...

I have to disagree with that assertion. Lots of babes per state.

Also, all of these silly and in some cases insane hit pieces are supposed to be geared towards someone who has not shown us what he is about already in his first term.

Who cares about hearsay and other nonsense when you’ve seen and heard the real deal for 4 years and know who and what he is Now.

Hit pieces really only work well on unknown or untested entities. Trump is far from either.

Call me crazy but avoiding becoming a communist state makes it worth overlooking a few things Trump might or might not have said way back.

Meanwhile gropin joe has SIX YEAR OLDS pushing his hands off of their breasts on video and you have to SEARCH HARD to find it!!!!

Trump will win.

And then they can continue to write all the books they want.

“How many times ...”

...just in time for the election. Since the demonkraps have nothing else to run on that anyone would buy ...time to bring up the old tried and true sex and racism and being in the hands of big corporations.

Michael Cohen has about as much credibility os Omarosa. They are both really bad fiction writers.

Neither Party is going to trust Cohen after this book comes out,and all the dust settles.

He violates Client and Lawyer confidentiality rules. He paints an image of himself as a hapless, helpless amoral tool.

Oh, and most of his big exposes are issues of the presidents character, issues the nation has already heard and absorbed. Many stories are from before Trump even entered the race.

I REALLY do not trust attorneys writing about their former clients.

So the huge revelation is the Trump likes girls. So do most normal men. I don’t care if Trump admires Putin. The guy is not our friend, but one can admire what he has achieved. I don’t really care what Cohen says that Trump said about anything. This is all a silly distraction. I care about Trump’s policies, his actions as president, his achievements. This is what matters. He has my fully and unwavering support.

Michael Cohen got caught in a restaurant while out of prison. His PR firm turned that into Corrections having trouble with his book. He is a defrocked attorney writing a book about his client...unless he was a contract murderer, which he has never alleged, he paid off women with Trump’s money...not illegal. He is being paid off through his publisher as a half baked October surprise. They don’t have anything cool, so they are trying to make it up with volume.
