I’m sad to see that everyone posting earlier, above this post, is so unhappy. I honestly wish you would stop trying to mind-read the supporters of our President. You are not mind-readers, and please don’t be arrogant enough to think you are. Look…none of us knows who will win the election this November. We do know that this, like many others in the past, will (and already is) a dirty campaign with lots of mud, lies and insults being flung around. There is nothing new under the sun, but this time it seems there is a difference—the tantrums I see from those who do not support our President. Where on Earth did these tantrums come from? Are you all like 2-years-old? These are the questions I have. If you all really want to win this next election, you need to do some serious introspection and realize that you are near-dilusional from rage. Rage, my friends, will win you nothing in the end, and you will continue to lead your less than optimal lives in misery. That’s not healthy, and deep down inside I think you know that. In the meantime, the supporters of the President will continue to support him, since he is doing what he said he would do—which is why we selected him. We know he’s not perfect in his demeanor, but his policies are stellar, from our viewpoint. Give me someone who is better, and I’ll support them, too. Until then, President Trump is effective. Just please do not think our motives are evil. They certainly are not. You just do not understand our motives, and you apparently are not really interested in finding out. That’s just plain sad. So suffer—we are enjoying life.
In the book, “Disloyal: A Memoir,” which was obtained by The Washington Post ahead of its Tuesday publication date, Cohen lays out an alarming portrait of the constellation of characters orbiting around Trump, likening the arrangement to the mafia and calling himself “one of Trump’s bad guys.”
He describes the president, meanwhile, as “a cheat, a liar, a fraud, a bully, a racist, a predator, a con man.”
✁
Cohen acknowledges his own challenges as a credible narrator throughout the 432-page book, which is subtitled “The True Story of the Former Personal Attorney to President Donald J. Trump.”
He describes himself as Trump’s “designated thug” and discusses his felony convictions for lying to Congress and violating campaign laws in service to Trump. ✁
✁
Cohen also reveals new alleged details about the convoluted effort behind a National Enquirer report smearing Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.).
Cohen says that Trump signed off on the baseless report to damage Cruz, one of his rivals in the 2016 Republican primary.
✁
Cohen also describes in detail the partnership between Trump and David Pecker, the chief executive of National Enquirer parent company American Media and a longtime Trump friend, which included Pecker allegedly sharing the Cruz attack with Trump ahead of publication.
✁
Cohen writes that before winning the presidency, Trump held a meeting at Trump Tower with prominent evangelical leaders, where they laid their hands on him in prayer. Afterward, Trump allegedly said: “Can you believe that bulls—t? Can you believe people believe that bulls—t?”
“The cosmic joke was that Trump convinced a vast swathe of working-class white folks in the Midwest that he cared about their well-being,” Cohen writes. “The truth was that he couldn’t care less.”
Okay, I see that you all refuse to come to a middle ground. I gave it my best shot. We’ll find out who agrees with us upon the results of the election. Enjoy your misery.
Somebody’s plea for coming to a middle ground sounds exactly like the spiel from members of the Nazi Party in Germany in the 1930s. They actually did convince some people that they (the Nazi Party) were doing the right thing. People like the Lindberghs and other “America First” followers. The thing is, the Nazis did make improvements to the lives of some Germans and to German industry. Autobahns and Volkswagens, for example. But they were doing so by running up ruinous national debt and by murdering portions of the population. But they still convinced outsiders that yes, they had a few bad people, but really they were the good guys.
To paraphrase someone famous, “The gullible will always be with us — and so will those who take advantage of them.”

“You are not mind-readers….”
“…you are near-dilusional(sic) from rage.”
Said the mind-reader….
