Sycophancy in stereo as former Trump hater Michael Cohen loses his nerve
Fawning, deferential, oleaginous – this was the Untruth and Reconciliation Commission as Trump called in to 77 WABC
TL;DR
- Michael Cohen, previously a vocal critic of Donald Trump, conducted a sycophantic interview with Trump on 77 WABC radio.
- Cohen referred to Trump as 'boss' and 'sir,' a stark contrast to his previous descriptions of Trump as a 'racist,' 'conman,' and 'cheat.'
- The interview is presented as an example of figures denouncing Trump only to return to him, often motivated by power or wealth.
- Cohen has applied for a pardon and previously served prison time for his role in covering up Trump's 'dirty deeds.'
- Trump stated he respected Cohen for 'recanting everything' he said, though the article suggests Cohen has not fully recanted.
- The interview touched on familiar Trump talking points, including claims about the war in Iran and the economy.
- A commentator compared the reunion of Trump and Cohen to Julius Caesar and Brutus.
