Trump: Cohen testimony "may have contributed to" his "walk" from NK negotiations

Donald J. Trump

Verified account

@realDonaldTrump

For the Democrats to interview in open hearings a convicted liar & fraudster, at the same time as the very important Nuclear Summit with North Korea, is perhaps a new low in American politics and may have contributed to the “walk.” Never done when a president is overseas. Shame!

If Cohen's testimony helped in some way for Trump NOT to give away the store in a bad Nuke deal with NK then thanks are in order.

decent night's sleep, awakening to the news on NPR describing the collapse of the talks. I said that he was in a hurry to get back on his executive time schedule so he can send out his customary "mean tweets" about Michael Cohen!

Never had a president under investigation.

Never had a president with a shady past.

Until Trump.

The N Korea talks were meant to be a big, splashy distraction. In Trump's mind, a big 'deal', end the Korean War, Peace Prize material, all that.

Instead, it was boring and predictable (except that it was predictable that it would be boring), and Cohen's testimony was riveting.

Trump then acted like the spoiled child that he is.
