Shifting Perspective from Trump to Greene et al
Everywhere I see images of Trump. I can’t escape him. There are just so many angles of his face I can tolerate. We know what he is. The jury certainly worked him out, but the corporate media continues to make money out of his droopy mug.
Once he stops making money for the media, will we no longer see him?
Probably not because he has stand-ins, doesn’t he? His magnetic pull has attracted like-minded sad sacks like Greene and Habba-Dabba-Do. Their fifteen minutes of fame goes on and on.
Where once I thought Michael Cohen needed a good slap, my opinion changed after reading his two books and listening to his court testimony. He has managed to do what so many others can’t — he has humiliated himself by telling the truth. Reading his books can bring on the cringe but the damage is to himself and not others.
As a teenager, Cohen was fascinated by New York gangsters and then he grew up to work for one. Professionally, it is a path that has ruined his life but you’ll notice that his wife and children have remained authentically loyal to him — not just for the cameras or the inheritance. Meanwhile the neighbourhood oddball Eric Trump hangs around in the hope of scraping some pennies out of that dwindling legacy.
