Trump is “impressed” that Cohen said “no collusion.” But Cohen didn’t say that.
In Vietnam, the president responds to his former lawyer’s testimony by mischaracterizing it.

But Cohen did not say there was “no collusion.” What he said was that he does not “know of direct evidence that Mr. Trump or his campaign colluded with Russia,” but “I have my suspicions.”

During his opening statement, Cohen recalled an incident shortly before the June 2016 meeting with Donald Trump Jr. and a Russian lawyer at Trump Tower, in which Trump Jr. walked into his father’s office and told him, “The meeting is all set.”

“What struck me as I look back and thought about the exchange between Don Jr. and his father was ... that Don Jr. would never set up any meeting of significance alone, and certainly without checking with his father,” Cohen said. “I also knew that nothing went on in Trumpworld, especially the campaign, without Mr. Trump’s knowledge and approval. So I concluded that Don Jr. was referring to that June 2016 Trump Tower meeting about dirt on Hillary with the Russian representatives when he walked behind his dad’s desk that day, and that Mr. Trump knew that was the meeting Don Jr. was talking about.”

1. Trump's 'reality making' efforts are collapsing

under the weight of his own bullshit and stupidity.

[Thomas Hurt]

2. The cultists were treating this as if Cohen was the final authority on the issue...

and knew everything about the campaign................."See, Cohen says no collusion you got to believe that."

and out of their other face, "Cohen is a consummate liar!"

[Doodley]

3. Or is Trump relieved that Cohen withheld the full truth?

4. Ken Dilanian is pushing the 'no collusion' narrative too.

Not sure what his agenda is.
