What will Trump do if he loses? Michael Cohen claims POTUS 'will ask Pence to pardon him' in bombshell interview
New allegations against President Donald Trump are now being revealed by his former personal attorney Michael Cohen with the release of a new tell-all book about the president, titled, 'Disloyal: A Memoir: The True Story of the Former Personal Attorney to President Donald J Trump,'. In the interview with Rachel Maddow on September 8, 2020, Cohen made more revelations about him, right from his relationship with Russian President Putin, to his 'racist comments'.
In the talk show, Cohen revealed, "If he (Trump) loses, there's still the time between the election and the time that the next president would take office. During that time, my suspicion is that he will resign as president, he will allow Mike Pence to take over and he will have Mike Pence pardon him." He further said that Trump micromanages everything, "I want to be clear to you and to the viewers and everybody: Nothing happens without Mr. Trump's approval at the Trump Organization. To the same extent, nothing happens without President Trump's approval. He micromanaged everything."
He also made a shocking revelation about the 2016 US Elections, saying, "Trump never thought he was going to win this election, he actually did not want to win this election ... this was a branding deal. That's all that the presidential campaign started out as, this was a branding opportunity in order to expand worldwide."
"Heβs not the same person I knew. The power has gone to his head. He wants to be an autocrat. He wants to be president of this country for life just like Putin," he added.
As soon as the interview aired, people started reacting to the statements and the revelations made by Cohen, as one Internet user took a part from the interview and shared it saying, "Michael Cohen: "his (Donald Trump's) hatred for Barrack Obama is plain and simple: He's black. He went to Harvard Law. He graduated top of his class. He's incredibly articulate. All the things Donald Trump wants to be." #trms #Maddow," and another user said, "Michael Cohen confirmed that Trump's animus towards Barack Obama is rooted in raw, unvarnished racism. trump cannot countenance that a black man is smarter, is self-made and is respected throughout the world. #Maddow #LastWord."

While some Netizens commented on his relationship with Putin saying, "What fascinated me was Cohen discussing Trump's fascination & admiration of Putin & how Putin controls the oligarchs..He believes Putin is richest man in the world, he believes Putin was behind a $50M profit that Trump made on a home he sold in WPB. Putin is trumps hero #Maddow," and "Michael Cohen:βHeβs not the same person I knew. The power has gone to his head. He wants to be an autocrat. He wants to be president of this country for life just like Putin.β We have warned for years that malignant narcissists become drunk on power and get much worse. #Maddow."

While one user attacked Cohen and said, "If Michael Cohen was Donald Trump's attorney, everything he says would be a violation of the attorney-client privilege. But being he lacks ethics everything he says should be suspect."
