Michael Cohen, the attorney whose reputation is as tarnished as a pair of forgotten gym shoes, recently made headlines yet again, this time for claiming that Donald Trump “already owns the libs.” This assertion was made during an appearance on Jim Acosta’s hilariously misnamed podcast “My Knee Won’t Bend.” One assumes that Cohen believes he’s sparking insight, but many simply see him as yet another notch on the club that Democrats are using to bludgeon Trump.
Cohen, who apparently suffers from a case of foot-in-mouth disorder, was invited to chat about Trump’s executive orders and his no-nonsense approach to federal reform. During this riveting exchange, Acosta couldn’t resist bringing up one of Trump’s quotes. The former president referenced Napoleon Bonaparte regarding saving the country and, in Cohen’s eyes, it demonstrated an incorrect reading of presidential immunity laws. Surprising? Hardly. Cohen’s credentials now extend only as far as his stint as a disgruntled ex-lawyer rattling off misguided interpretations of the Constitution on cable news shows.

In a curious twist of fate, Cohen suggested that trashing Trump isn’t the way to take him down. This, coming from a guy who once threatened to flee the country if Trump was re-elected—not exactly a passing grade in loyalty to the home front. Cohen, who speaks of liberals as if they’re a mythical creature he keeps encountering in the wild, claimed that their consistent denigrations of Trump just aren’t hitting the target. Instead, they seem to have fueled the former president’s popularity. It’s almost as if the more they throw mud, the shiner he gets.
While Cohen is quick to criticize others, he seems to forget that he himself has faced multiple legal hurdles, including being found guilty of perjury and fraud. Let’s not mention his epic three-year stint in prison for covering up Trump-related income. He has resurfaced from his time behind bars as a self-appointed expert on all things Trump, while still struggling with the aftermath of his own questionable decisions. That’s one way to stay relevant, but it seems there’s a thin line between redemption and delusion.
Meanwhile, the Manhattan judiciary is pondering dismissing Trump’s felony case, a development that could leave Cohen’s entire political theater in tatters. This case, heavily reliant on Cohen’s dubious claims, is being scrutinized for its legitimacy. One can almost picture Cohen live-streaming his reactions to the news while emptying his pockets online to pay for his misguided crusade. His previous fame as Trump’s fixer has transformed into a comedic accessible persona. Whether that gets him future gigs or just more ridicule remains an open question.
