Summary: Disloyal: A Memoir: Michael Cohen

Michael Cohen admits he fell mesmerized by Trump like a cult member, began to see himself breaking his moral code, but stuck with Trump for money, power, and fame. Cohen boasts that he knew Trump better than his own family and it was not a pretty sight. He saw Trump as a sociopathic mobster boss who would do anything to win and destroy anybody who challenged him in his quest for success.

Cohen dumps a truck load of Trump family skeletons at the reader’s feet and then picks them up one by one and executes a meticulous show-and-tell. Pornstar Stormy Daniels and Playboy centerfold favorite Karen McDougall are unforgettable pains in the ass for Trump and he enlists Cohen, the “fixer,” to “take care of it.”

According to Cohen, Trump thinks nothing of stiffing contractors, or exploiting widows in bankruptcy for profit, or cheating in public opinion polls, or inflating or deflating his property values, or the concept of bribing the mob to get a construction project completed that he learned from his father.

Cohen bears witness to Trump’s failing business and real estate empire, his miraculous political campaign, and the start of his Presidency before he is strong-armed and whisked away to jail by the Mueller Special Counsel investigation. 

Cohen cites examples to show that Trump was a bully, a likely adulterer, a pathological liar, an amoral cheat, a bigot regarding homosexuals and religion, and an occasional racist. 

He also shows Trump’s uncanny strengths, skills, and abilities and why he thought, originally, that Trump would be a good President. Cohen spent years encouraging him to run.

This story is a must-read because it has new, insider information about how the most powerful person in the world is a most ugly personality and how he nevertheless ascended to his position of authority--and what might lay in sight for the future.
