too...thuggish, or something-

The same article said that S. had long been abusive towards Cohen, and C. just lapped it up

C. had big dreams of being brought to the WH, I’ve no doubt about that - his friends have commented on this- I mean hey, he was already getting all that $$ funneled into his LLC from hopefuls like AT&T and Viktor Vessleburg (sp!) - Mikie was ready to PAR-TAY!!!

Another fun fact is that Cohen was a finance chair in the RNC (along with icky Steve Wynn and the lovely Elliot Broidy) - sure be nice to hear some tidbits about THAT operation!!!

In short, in answer to your question, I’m going with “Because donnie j. tRump is the dumbest motherfucker who ever walked anywhere on this planet, e v e r”

and doesn't come across as the sort of classy guy Trump thinks he is himself. Trump makes a big deal about "his" people going to the best schools, and Cohen didn't - and he comes across as a low-rent mob mouthpiece - which he kind of was.

and I agree with you, but the very thought of Trump imagining he has more "class" than virtually anyone pushes my reality meter to the max.
Cohen may not have gone to an Ivy League law school, but Trump has NO law or graduate training at all.
He has a bachelor's degree from Wharton and given everything about him, including a vocabulary ranked by linguists at the
fourth grade level, one wonders how he even managed that.

By all accounts, he treated Cohen terribly, humiliated him repeatedly - and yet Cohen kept coming back. This is the very kind of thing a narcissist finds entertaining.
