According to this, Michael Cohen was pitching a book PRAISING President Trump mere weeks before the FBI raided his office.
President Donald Trump is not crazy. Nor is he dumb or paranoid. Certainly he is not in over his head. Is he a liar? Nope. And he is not addicted to TV either.
Who says so? None other than Michael Cohen, the president’s former lawyer and fixer who eviscerated Trump in three days of testimony before Congressional committees this week.
Cohen’s comments were in a book proposal that the jail-bound disbarred attorney was shopping around in the weeks before the FBI raided his offices last year. DailyMail.com has reviewed a copy of that proposal.
In the beginning of the book, he named all of the words Trump’s haters use to describe him. Stuff like “paranoid,” dumb,” “crazy,” “liar” and “hates the media.”
“All of these things have been said about my longtime boss, Donald J. Trump,” Cohen wrote. “None of it is true. Except maybe that last one – about the media. Trump does believe that reporters are out to get him, and for a very good reason. Many of them are.”
“That doesn’t make him paranoid,” he continued. “That makes him a realist.”
Again– Michael Cohen wrote that. It’s like we’re dealing with two completely different people.
The book had the working title “Trump Revolution: From The Tower to The White House, Understanding Donald J. Trump.” He sent the book out to numerous publishers, and one was willing to pay him $750,000.
‘Everything he wanted to say about Trump was positive,’ added another executive who discussed the deal with Cohen.
‘Even in our meeting he was glowing with praise for the president.’
The executive said Cohen did not tell him whether Trump knew about the planned book.
The deal with Hachette’s conservative imprint Center Street eventually fell apart after Cohen was charged with the crimes that will now land him in prison.
Like I said. You can’t even make this stuff up.
