Disloyal: A memoir
The True Story of the Former Personal Attorney to President Donald J. Trump.
by Michael Cohen
2020
Tough read. I am inclined to believe that Michael Cohen was drawn into a game he did not realize he was playing, until he lost. He was so sure this was going to be his path to the White House, that he did not see the reality, or listen to his wife and children tell him to walk away from Trump. Find something else. Michael Cohen paid the price for not listening to his family, and for his crimes. Trump never will.
Michael Cohen is one of the few that remained loyal and took the fall for Trump. In many ways, he paid for Trumps crimes, and inappropriate demeanor. And he still is.
Mr. Cohen starts by telling us about the Trump Mortgage Co. Then, in the 1990's, Trump Taj Mahal, and his Atlantic City casino, and the Trump Network, that sold vitamins and health products. None were successful, losing more money than they made. Many of the people who worked there went unpaid, but Trump doesn't believe in apologizing or admitting responsibility for failure. He does believe in free labor.
Michael has seen many instances, where Trump would seek out sensitive topics and divisive issues, that he could exploit. He likes to appeal to a base of people with prejudices, because they are easier to win over. This has been the Trump strategy throughout his life. His most sensitive topics are his hair, his numerous bankruptcies and his perceived wealth. His long standing hatred of the Obama's is central to all his decision and his belief that gays and religious people are worthless unless he can get their vote, is how he approaches these topics.
Most interesting to me, was the Stormy Daniels, Hope Hicks and Karen McDougal stories. They really give us an example of the kind of man he is, and of his attitude towards women, in general.
Michael Cohen thinks Trump is shallow, childish and incapable of empathy or of taking responsibility for his own actions, as he never has had to in his life, yet. With many around him to afraid to say anything except "Let Trump be Trump", it reminds us how dictators and authoritarian governments began. I am thankful he is a one and done president.
I commend Michael Cohen for his bravery and honesty. I think working with Trump has changed him, in many ways, as well as how he thinks and sees the world. It has opened his eyes, and he is so fortunate to have a wife and children who always support him, even when they know better.
