Just finished Micheal Cohen's book, it was enlightening most people overestimated Trump's motivation

for his various actions.

F,or instance, the reason he paid Black actors to sit behind in at his rallies holding "Blacks For Trump" rallies was never intended to attract Black voters. It was to convince White Evangelical voters that he is not a hardcore racist and it would be okay to vote for him.

Trump thought spending time trying to attract Black voters was a waste of time because Black people don't vote, he felt it would be more effective to convince the Black people who do vote that voting for anyone is a waste of time because nobody care about them.

Trump is far more of a lowlife piece of shit than people give him credit for.

When ever you think you have Trump figured out ... you're wrong, because it's always worse.

It was intended to make White Evangelicals feel good about their racism ... and it absolutely worked.

..I read the first few pages and I was riveted. I got the autographed copy so I'm not loaning this one out to any one. I bought RAGE and Marys book as well. I figure a set of first editions will be a nice collection.
