Michael Cohen calls Trump a "petulant man child" in response to Truth Social attack

Source: Salon

Published April 13, 2024 4:22PM (EDT)


Donald Trump is currently being held under the guidelines of a gag order issued by Judge Juan Merchan, which prohibits "making or directing others to make public statements about known or reasonably foreseeable witnesses concerning their potential participation in the investigation or in this criminal proceeding."

But days before his New York criminal trial, he seems to have done just that.

In a post to Truth Social on Saturday, Trump writes, "Has Mark POMERANTZ been prosecuted for his terrible acts in and out of the D.A.’s Office. Has disgraced attorney and felon Michael Cohen been prosecuted for LYING? Only TRUMP people get prosecuted by this Judge and these thugs! A dark day for our Country. MAGA2024!!!"

Cohen, Trump's former attorney and a key witness in his upcoming hush money trial, fired-back at Trump's attack with his own post to social media, writing, "When does enough become enough and the petulant man child gets a time out in lockup for his bad behavior?"

6. Ideally, the judge would let drumpf know at the start Monday

that at the end of the day he’ll be spending the night locked up for contempt, but the trial is proceeding at full speed.

7. There is only one way to enforce a gag order with Trump.

That would be to start seizing Trump's real estate which the judge can't do so Trump doesn't give a damn as a minor cash fine he would shrug off and any jail time he would use to rally the voter base of assholes that are enabling his behavior.

13. Any jail time, one hour, will destory TSF. I hope the Judge does so.

TSF's personality would die quickly _ALONE_ in a jail cell, no one else there, no cellphone, no radio, no TV, just it sitting there talking to no one and no one responding.

It would crush TSF.

Love It !!!

8. He's a man baby, stuck at the emotional age of 2. His mother was hospitalized and he was left to the tender mercy

of his father at this age. So much of his behavior, even including shitting his pants, is that of an angry, unloved, two year old.

It's time to take away Trump's phone.

And he can have it back once he's demonstrated he knows how to use it responsibly.

11. I wish we could do that with guns in this country

I'm betting the first order of business tomorrow morning will be this. And you know he knows what he's doing. He somehow thinks this will delay things.

So go ahead, Judge Merchan. Slap a fine on him (which the idiot cult followers will happily pay), give him a warning, and get on with business.

I'd love to see him locked up but we all know it won't happen, especially on the first violation, and especially because he's trying to get locked up because he thinks it will halt the trial. Somebody needs to tell him his gag order violations won't stop the trial.

Wonder Why

12. I like Michael Cohen. He sounds like a character out of "The Godfather" so I love hearing him talk.
