'Soulmates': Michael Cohen describes his life as Trump's fixer in new book

The book, entitled Disloyal: The True Story of the Former Personal Attorney to President Donald J Trump, is slated to be released sometime in September, ahead of the presidential election in November. Cohen ginned up pre-sales and tweeted about it on Thursday. In the book’s foreword Cohen, 53, mentions writing in his federal prison cell in upstate New York in his green inmate uniform. He details his feelings of bewilderment at falling foul of the president of the United States after years of being “Trump’s first call every morning and his last call every night”. “In some ways, I knew him better than even his family did because I bore witness to the real man,” he writes, calling Trump a con man, a predator, a racist, a bully and a liar. In his cell, Cohen was about a year in to serving a three-year sentence on federal charges of tax evasion, making false statements, lying to Congress and facilitating illegal payments to silence women about their alleged affairs with Trump in the past, which the president denies. In the forward to the book, Cohen writes: “My insatiable desire to please Trump to gain power for myself, the fatal flaw that led to my ruination, was a Faustian bargain: I would do anything to accumulate, wield, maintain, exert, exploit power. In this way, Donald Trump and I were the most alike … soulmates.”

In his book foreword, he warns: “In these dangerous days, I see the Republican party and Trump’s followers threatening the constitution – which is in far greater peril than is commonly understood – and following one of the worst impulses of humankind: the desire for power at all costs.”

Michael Cohen probably knows trump better than anyone else in the world.

Cohen's book, along with the already released book of Trumps niece Dr. Mary L. Trump, vividly describe Donald Trump as psychologically unstable and a menace to America.

"A narcissistic sociopath who should not be allowed anywhere near the White House."

And yet this is what the right dismisses about trump and continue to support him. How much hatred does a person have to have in order to support such sleaziness?

The problem is that Michael Cohen really is a very flawed messenger. He has lied so much that he has no credibility left. Hard to know how much to believe anything he says.

But if anything, THAT just proves how Trump only hires only the best people!

I disagree. I think the book is something Cohen personally needs to do so people will better understand why he ended up in prison.

He is not at all denying his part in the Trump saga.

How fast did Michael Cohen go from, “I’ll take a bullet for Mr Trump” to “I’m gonna write a tell all?”

I agree, his acceptance of responsibility pains a much more credible picture....

People do have epiphanies and "watershed moments"; as I already said, I think Mr. Cohen's acceptance of responsibility for the wrongdoiing on Trump's behalf has merit.
