What's new

Donald is about to go through some things...

Yep. Poor trump. What a rough life he has.
That's the funniest thing about him to me. His dad was a good real estate investor/developer in NYC at a very good time to be in that market. He taught old Donny everything he needed to know, introduced him to all the people he'd need to know, gave him more money than any person would ever need to live a very very nice life, and at the end of the day... if Trump would have put all the money daddy gave him in the late '70s into a mutual fund instead of playing business man he'd have several times the amount of money he has managed to "earn" over his very long business career.

If you put some of your money into a company matched 401k you are literally (and I mean by the actual definition of "literal") a better business person than Donald J Trump has ever been.

Sad.

For example. In 2016 Trump was worth a little more than 3 Billion dollars. Had he put daddy's money in a mutual fund he would have been worth about 6 billion dollars.

His net worth has gone down over the last 8 years and that mutual fund would have exploded in value over that same time.

Well it's not Trumps fault! He is just a dumbass. Which also isn't his fault!

Cohen on the stand today. Hopefully he just tells the truth and the jury do the right thing and The Rapist's *** gets sent to prison. I'd throw a ****ing party.
 
"In an emotional moment, Michael Cohen gave a candid, glowing response when asked what it was like to work for the Trump Organization.
"It was fantastic," he said. "Working for him during those 10 years was an amazing experience in many many ways. There were great times, there were several less-than-great times, but for the most part I enjoyed the responsibilities that were giving to me. I enjoyed working with my colleagues at the Trump Organization, the Trump children. It was a big family."
Trump, at the defense table, remained motionless during Cohen's description. His eyes appear closed.
After speaking positively about his time with the Trump Organization, Cohen acknowledged that he often lied for Trump.
"Because it was needed to accomplish the task," Cohen said.


 
"Mr. Trump never had an email address," Cohen said. "He would comment that emails are like written papers. He knows too many people who have gone down as a direct result ... of emails ... that prosecutors could use in a case."

"By 'gone down', you mean getting in some sort of trouble?" Cohen was asked.

"Yes ma'am," Cohen replied.

Trump, at the defense table, did not react to this questioning.

Cohen said that he frequently reported to Trump when handling sensitive matters.

"As soon as you had a result or answer, you would go straight back and tell him, especially if it was a matter that was troubling to him," Cohen said.

"If you didn't immediately provide him with the information ... that wouldn't go over well for you," Cohen added.


 
"A law firm would send an invoice. He didn't believe that the invoice was fair, reasonable or justified, so he would give me the task of renegotiating a specific bill," Cohen said.
Cohen recounted his work repaying approximately 50 vendors related to Trump University at a discounted rate. All but two of the fifty vendors agreed to the discounted rate.
"They just went away," Cohen said of the two vendors.
"Did you pay then?" prosecutor Susan Hoffinger asked.
"No, ma'am," Cohen responded.
Cohen said Trump told him the outcome of the negotiation was "fantastic" and "great."
"How did that make you feel?" Hoffinger asked.

"Like I was on top of the world," Cohen responded.


 
"We ended up overtaking the board and resolving the issue which was to Mr. Trump's satisfaction," Cohen said about the first favor related to a board at a Trump property. "He liked the way that occurred and then continued to ask me if I would assist in other legal issues or matters he had."
"Did he pay you for that work?" prosecutor Susan Hoffinger said.
"No, ma'am," Cohen said
According to Cohen, Trump offered him a job after he presented Trump a $100,000 bill for legal costs related to the earlier favors.
"Would you want to come work for me?" Cohen recounted Trump saying. "I was honored, I was taken by surprise, and I agreed"
When asked about the $100,000 legal bill, Cohen said Trump "asked if I would like to get fired on the first day." The bill was never paid, according to Cohen, who immediately left his law firm to work for the Trump Organization as Trump's special counsel and a senior vice president.

When asked about the kind of work Cohen did for Trump, Cohen responded, "It was whatever concerned him -- whatever he wanted."
Cohen said he reported "just to Mr. Trump."

"Cohen recounted a conversation he heard between Trump and Pecker as the McDougal negotiations progressed.

Cohen testified that he was with Trump as the then-presidential candidate spoke to Pecker on speakerphone in his Trump Tower office.

“He asked him how things were going with the matter, and David said, ‘We have this under control and we’ll take care of this,’” Cohen testified.

Answering a prosecutor’s follow-up question, Cohen said Trump and Pecker also discussed how much it would cost to suppress McDougal’s story.

“David stated it would cost $150,000 to control the story,” Cohen said. He said Trump then told the publisher: “No problem. I’ll take care of it.”

Prior to the Trump-Pecker call, Cohen testified that he’d had his own call with the National Enquirer’s Pecker and Howard, who had just flown to Los Angeles to meet with McDougal.

“I’ll get this locked down for you and I won’t let it out of my grasp,” Cohen recalled Howard telling him.
