In his new book, Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney and fixer who is currently serving a prison sentence, portrayed his ex-client as an elitist with little concern for those who support him if they aren’t from “the ruling class.”
Trump views these people as being stupid.
Some are; some aren’t (I know a few on both sides of this equation).
The ones that aren’t too bright are easily convinced by a con-man (this one I know well). These are capable of being convinced of pretty much everything against their better interests. They will parrot what has been told to them.
Whether he said it or not, it’s true: he likes the uneducated. They are the easiest to convince of the most extraordinary ideas.
Cohen’s “news” is news to no one who has been paying attention. Can anyone name a single action besides “tax cuts”, which have really not been all that helpful to working class Americans, an action that actually helps the working class? :The Great Pretender is always yammering on about how he has “done more for fill-in-the-blank group than any President in history”, but there is no specific action that he or his campaign can actually use as as example.
I’m sure these people are ‘losers’. If they were ‘winners’ they would be ‘successful’ and buying a membership at Mar-a-Lago…
No one cares more for the working class than Donald Trump. People tell him that all the time.
Just ask him. 
Not surprising at all
Love it when she says ‘they’ve lost all credibility’. Trump never really had any…
Hey, look, someone is saying something we already know to be true about Trump. And that someone also expects us to buy a whole book of stuff we already know.
Let’s give him print space and air time!
Donnie hates everyone, including his rich “friends.”
He’s a sociopath acting in a reality show.
It explains, in part, why he doesn’t care about the 190k+ covid-19 deaths. The “little people” are expendable.
“The cosmic joke was that Trump convinced a vast swath of working-class white folks in the Midwest that he cared about their well-being,” the former attorney added. “The truth was that he couldn’t care less.”
This isn’t news. Most of us already know that. Those who don’t already know it, don’t want to know it.
“He has lost all credibility, and it’s unsurprising to see his latest attempt to profit off of lies,” she said.
She had better hope her boss doesn’t hear her talking this way about him.
I’ve said what Cohen said for years so,…
Because of course.
Con men have contempt for their marks.
Doesn’t that fit Trump perfectly?
It’s worse than that, El Gales.
The WWC is basically just another Production Unit, requiring its own kind of con. If Trump had to con any group, he would work out a spiel (with the help of minions, paid slaves, lackeys and pros who Know The Ropes).
If this case, the con dovetails with his obviously genuine racism.
Props to Cohen for avoiding “could care less.”
But you do know that if Trump COULD care less, he’d find a way.
“Cohen is currently serving a three year prison sentence.”
Really? Dude’s gonna be on Maddow tonight.
That’s a great insight.
Romney’s obvious naivete caused him to make a speech which became the 47% video.
Trump, The Mob Boss, is more savvy and with a more cunning M.O.
The entire Planet has been waiting for a 47%-like recording on Trump.
