Michael Cohen Says Trump Thought Men Would Think He Was Cool After Access Hollywood Tape Came Out

- According to testimony from Michael Cohen this week, Donald Trump knew that the release of the Access Hollywood tape would be a disaster for him among women, but he was confident that men would think it was awesome. Even in the middle of a scandal Trump was focused on how cool he would be, showing that his narcissism really knows no bounds. But the tape wasn't used the way it should have been during that campaign, and that's why the impact was so negligible, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

Michael Cohen's testimony so far this week on Monday and Tuesday has been nothing short of a complete disaster for Donald Trump. Cohen has, of course, testified to the fact that Donald Trump had his hands in everything, all the hush money, payments, all the deals, all the catch and kill stories. Donald Trump was the guy who not only directed it all, but personally oversaw every single aspect of it. And that, of course, is key for the prosecution, uh, uh, to, to make their case. Their whole thing is, yes, Trump's the guy that did it. He directed it. He was involved in every aspect of it. And Michael Cohen said the same thing. But Cohen also said some other things that I also think are very relevant, uh, not necessarily to the legal case, but to the campaign. First and foremost, probably the most damning thing that I think that Michael Cohen said this week was the fact that when the Stormy Daniels story came out, which of course was right around the time that the Access Hollywood tape came out. So Donald Trump suddenly dealing with dual scandals just a couple weeks before the election. Cohen testified under oath that Donald Trump said at the time, quote, this is a disaster. This is a total disaster. Women are going to hate me. This is really is a disaster. Women are going to hate me. Guys will think it's cool, but this is a disaster for the campaign.
That statement right there tells you everything you need to know about Donald Trump's psyche, right? This is a disaster. Women are gonna hate me. I'm gonna lose the women voters dudes are gonna love it, right? I mean, look at these guys. Ah, they get it right? They understand, yeah, fist bump, but the women are gonna be. So even as he understands that, yes, politically speaking, this was horrible for him. Could have been, should have been. I gotta tell you, you know, just right off here, Hillary Clinton, the Democrats in 2016, did not do a good job with this information. This should have ended his entire, not just political career, like his career in general, should have been over at that point, like fully canceled after he was caught on tape on the Access Hollywood tape. Like, but no, they, the, the Clinton campaign had the ball at the one yard line, and all they had to do was walk it in, reach it over the goal line for the touchdown, and they fumbled it.
I, I, I'm sorry. They could have done so much more than they did with this. They dropped the ball on it, literally and figuratively in my little metaphor there. But either way, Trump's big concern was that the women were gonna hate him. But at the same time, he was comforted by the fact that the dudes are gonna think it's cool, right? I mean, what guy out there is not gonna be like, oh, hell yeah, man, he got nabbed a a, an adult film star, right, that's pretty badass, right? Is that really the kind of, uh, people you wanna be attracting Donald Trump, especially in a political party that loves to wrap themself up in the pa uh, pages of the Bible. But that's where his mind was, not only on how horrible it would be for his campaign, but about how cool every dude would think he is because he slept with a porn star and bragged about sexually assaulting women.

This straight white guy was utterly appalled by the Access Hollywood tape and any other man who harbors such attitudes toward women. VOTE BLUE! 💙💙💙💙💙
Ya Ds who drop the ball on the 1 yard line… Trump is the bully and Ds are the geeks who get bullied… who is stronger?
Good man!
The "good Christian" MAGA guys who wear crucifix chains are the ones who thought it was cool.
❤❤❤
Not white, but same bro. Same.
It's pathetic that a senior citizen would still be at the same maturity level as a teenager. We're supposed to gain wisdom as we age.
When I was a teenager I was ahead of where Trump is now. And I wasn't a particularly bright teenager.
He never got past the kindergarten brain level.
A teenager? More like a toddler!
G¹¹¹¹¹¹¹
He has gained wiz-dumb
That's not cool. Trumpet is a predator
And I'm wondering what else we're going to find out about this guy down along the road
@@claudiamoore7929 The tell all books after he's dead and can't sue are going to be astounding.
And a convicted sex predator
@@claudiamoore7929 ...how limber he is behind bars... Bubba tests him every day.
@@claudiamoore7929 I'm just as concerned about what we NEVER find out about. And I expect there's plenty!
BIDEN/HARRIS
4 MORE YEARS
💙💙💙🇺🇸 2024
💙💙💙💙
Definitely vote blue, for rule of law, for all! 💙🇺🇦🇺🇲
💙💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💙💙💙💙🗳🗳🗳
I can deal with an aging Biden, but Harris has to go. Joe ain't gonna make it 4 more years, so the Veep needs to be qualified to take over and not an adultering, duplicitous, backstabbing former prosecutor with no federal budgetary experience and only a basic understanding of foreign policy.
Farron Cousins/Tennessee Brando 20/fuckrightnow.
Access Hollywood tape should be played 24/7 now until election
It was played over and over before, but made no difference 😔
@@MortthemooseWhat about those dim MAGAts with signs, "real men wear diapers".
Nothing gets through to them.
@@Mortthemoose
Yeah, but back then he could claim he was exaggerating. Now he's on record as a sexual assaulter.
Yes, those ARE the type of people the Republican Party wants. They are the party of Beavis and Butthead.
_"They are the party of Beavis and Butthead."_
Keep his kids out of it...
Hey Beavis and Butthead are American heroes, they’re just… special. The Republicans are trying to destroy America.
@@fred_derfYou just hurt Beavis and Buttheads feelings
I think B&B are smarter than republicans.
@@elviraraff6809 You're right. If they weren't just cartoon characters I would apologize.
We knew who he was before he ever thought about running for office.
Real men don’t find Chump and his chicanery “cool.”
Only the insecure men did.
I'm having huge problems believing that there is even one sensible woman who would even like Drumph.
"Sensible" is the key word. Just take a look at all those women who adore him. There's no way one could call them sensible.
@@Xerame506 Exactly.
Me too. Just can’t believe they lower themselves to not have any respect for themselves or their daughters. I didn’t live the that. Baby boomers had real freedom. We had a great life. Our parents went to war so we could have freedom. They sacrificed themselves for a better America. Our parents bettered our lives so it would be better than their lives. We’re supposed to make it better for our children and grandchildren. Externally sad what the republicans are doing to us and our country
The problem is that a significant percentage of the US population is being brainwashed by right-wing media. There is no fairness doctrine, which means propaganda is rampant, particularly on the right (liberals by their nature are not as easily swayed as are conservatives, who largely have their entire life dominated by blindly and thoughtlessly following an old male figure)...
Kinda makes one sick to one's feminine stomach... 🤢
Can Trump ever do anything that doesn't involve a crime or a cover up? Such a loser.
If he doesn't cheat, he doesn't "win".
Its been his way of life. He will stop committing crimes either when he is locked up or dies.
I'm still waiting for the videos to be released of him circling the Oval Office, trying to find a corner to put an additional trash can.
@@davekyle433 And frankly one is starting to look much more likely than the other at this point. He'll die of old age or a heart attack before any earthly court bothers to give him some damn consequences.
No
Trump was right. Some of the men in his rally crowd said they want to do the same thing. Some of the women excused it as locker room talk. Trump knows how depraved his followers are and is proud of it. We must vote these horrible people out so VOTE BLUE
I have to say I don't understand, I really do not understand why ordinary men would want to go to bed with a porn star.
Just don't get it.
The Clinton campaign didn't "drop the ball" on this, he lost the popular vote to Clinton. It's the Electoral College system that's the problem as it has installed all the Republican President's in the last few decades that actually lost the election. We need a better election system, not better campaign ads.
Those Republican people that wrap themselves up in the Bible have never bothered to read it and just use it as a holier than thou prop.
Evangelicals, highest divorce rate amongst religiously preoccupied!😅 (goolie it!)
Reading the bible would reveal just how monstrous that book of fairy tales is. The immoralities in those books are disgusting, as are the people who blindly follow it.
They're the ones who wear the crucifix chains...daily.
Trump holding the Bible upside down gave the GOP license to do likewise.
@@davidsalo8397 That was not true. For all of tRump's (many, many, many) faults, he was actually holding right side up in his photo op shot. Let's not be as ill informed as all the MAGA trolls pushing their malarkey.
I’m a guy and I don’t think it’s cool. It’s sick.
Did I think it was cool? No.
He's pathetic 🙄
Well, women wont be voting for him this November!
Trump has as good a chance of winning in November as Harvey Weinstein.
@@pmac1951Unfortunately I know a few
Unfortunately some will, the ones who have so much hatred that they’d rather leopards eat their face than see other women succeed.
The dumb ones will even though they'll be voting against their own best interests.
That's what you'd think, but the Access Hollywood tape was played a lot last time, and he still won! 😔
I’m still in shock that evangelicals backed him. But when people show who they are believe them.
Agree 100% with you Faron. The access Hollywood tape should be the end of Trump political carrier
Even if the Democrats didn't use it as a political attack, it didn't stop the mainstream media, local media, and internet media from using it.. I agree that the Democrats should have used the audio in an ad, but come on.. The audio alone should have ended Donald's political career right there, but as we know, now that people don't care about S.A. until it's a person they don't like, then all of a sudden they care..

I'm guessing he did seem "cool" to those guys who would really like to do that crap, but couldn't get away with it. He empowers the scumbags.
That part.
Not all men are like you, D.T.! Thank God.
Nothing cool about this bozo
He always wanted to be cool. He never had a chance, but he tried to convince himself - even if he couldn't convince anyone else
Nothing cool about Biden either. America deserves better than these two.
Definitely not.
@@jean-luceyesofyoureyes5502 Biden has some things that are odd that's true but compared too this guy you guys would be putting a kinda grand pappy in office not a self proclaimed dictator here in Ireland I'm voting for Sinn Fein something I never thought I would ever do but other parties are terrible and self interested anyway have a great day
@@clivemahony9827 Biden likes kids to sid on his lap and feel his hairy legs.... They're both weird
Respect for Michael Cohen!
Vote 💙
I can understand maybe teenage boys talking that way in a alley somewhere...as a grown man...disgusting.
Let America have freedom, vote BLUE.
Big up to Michael Cohen for telling the truth about Al Caporn AKA Stinky Don Smelleone AKA Heat Miser!
OMG, you gave him every name in the book! 🤣
@@dynomitenash8970 Damn right I did!! LOLOL
In retrospect we really have Cohen to blame for trumps four years in office !
it should be put together with him saying he killed roe ... the access hollywood tape with him stating he can do anything grab em by the .... and then him bragging about killing roe... then him stating the women need to be punished for getting an abortion all his own words.... but it tells you everything about how he views and treats women
And don't forget that he used a power imbalance to have sex with Stormy Daniels. Without the condom. After he told her she looks like his daughter. He's an absolute creep.
I don't understand the attraction to this ass ?????? How embarrassing to be a supporter!
He truly is delusional 😂
To Democrats-Time to play hardball ⚾️
Most men I know were just as disgusted as women the first time they heard about it.
I thought the Access Hollywood tapes would have ended his run for president, but nope, people still voted for the guy.. Even women were and still are defending him saying *"It's locker room talk"*
It shows you the type of "guys" Trump hangs out with...
In locker rooms, engaging in locker room talk to make themselves look cool.
We know. Jeffery Epstein.
Trump has always chased approval, from his father when a small child, to New York elites, to, well, today!
@@annemurphy8074I was going to say Jeffery Epstein!
The 10 commandments if you scratch out the ones Trump has broken how many are left? So the question, what is MAGA christians morality built on?
The Eleventh Commandment "Thou shall do as I say, not as I do."
I think " honor thy Father " 📖 but
Not sure , he "honor thy Mother" may have broken with all other commandments! 📓
Back in the day us men had a meeting and we all agreed Trump was or never be cool.
Nice to hear ❤❤
I'm sure the next thing he'll try selling is a gold leather moto jacket with a big T on the back in rhinestones.
Unfortunately, I have a young co-worker (under 30) who actually thinks it's cool what trump gets away with. I tried to explain to him that those are NOT presidential qualities. And he says who said anything about voting, I just think he's a cool guy. This is a problem. These younger folks don't know what leadership is, they don't vote, they don't care.
Trump would look even cooler in an orange jumpsuit and ankle bracelet.
what did no one think him mocking disabled people should have been the first clue he shouldn't represent the entire country?
… I‘m following that national Desaster for almost eight years…. Shakin my Head to that Human nightmare the followers of Trump are….
Waht a Great Nation you was , by all mistakes .
Regards from Germany
Thanks for addressing this. The notion is offensive to men
I think most men in this country don't think it was cool
Thanks, Farron.😊
Im a dude. I dont think its cool at all. I think its disrespectful to real men and a shame women have to deal with guys like that
He was never cool with anyone.
Men thought he was so cool that they fled Congress Tuesday morning to line up for their first conjugal visits with their main squeeze as soon as he left the courthouse!
if only there was no Fox/fb/newsmax and the like. telling lies everyday is the most dangerous thing today.
The defense should go full blown "Trump is an idiot" tactics.
This is your chance to let it all out and make a fool of him for the rest of the trial.
Thankfully, not every man is an incel.
Let's hope the Roe V Wade will be enough to motivate the women to vote blue!!
MOST WOMEN HATE HIM!! Well I should say and smart women!! Vote blue💙💙💙💙
We could have had Bernie as president in 2016 and world would have been so different.
To me airing Melania's response to the Access Hollywood tape would be the thing to do. That response was approximately, "it was locker room talk" and "it is like I have two boys, Baron and Donald." Should we elect a person who spouse says they act like a child/teenager?
100% Dem fault for being silent
I just keep facepalming at all of the opportunities the Biden campaign needs to be doing
A 13 year old boy (he likes calling people names, and making fun of disabled people, and is titillated by naughty anatomical banter, needs a coloring book to keep him entertained in court etc...) in the body of a 77 year old man. We've been using the wrong tactics with him, we've been trying to deal with him as the 77 year old man and it hasn't worked.
THAT is the only time he worried about what women think
Other them that he hates women!
The Biden/Harris campaign should introduce a slogan and blue purple and white caps which say KEEP AMERICA DEMOCRATIC ALWAYS(KADA) Who is with me on this idea?
The trumps are so sickening and that's what people are all about how people act I never thought I'd see the world this way
So crazy...he's such a criminal...should have been in jail years ago..shocking how many people are a cult and willing to give up their lives .
Never in history anyone like this nut/thug.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 🙏🏻
Help!!!🇺🇸
Lincoln project should give him one
Split screen
Trump saying one thing at rallies then how he really feels on the other
Cohen did great, plus MeidasTouch is as well, keep us abrest of the Trump trial, you are doing great!
Donald Trump: Did someone just say breast?
So this information should now be used to destroy trump in THIS election!
I hated the fact that they kept saying , When they go low you go higher . He is not a normal human being . You cannot fight him by being nice . That was a huge mistake!
Dems need to grasp the fact that it is not "going low" to simply point out the truth about your opponent, especially when the opponent is as vile as Trump.
The Democratic party needs to stoop as low as the GOP to make an even playing field. LBJ where are you?
According to SD, she was pressured to perform for him against her wishes. Sounds like non consensual relations.
Only predators & pdf files will approve what was heard on that tape
half of the men and WOMEN in MAGA did.
He acts like character out of a old movie 🍿
This is not cool it’s garbage
Is there anything about that guy that isn’t putrid? He’s revolting to his core
Sad an failing our young people
The men I know did not think it was cool. Decent & good men did not think the access Hollywood tape didn’t in fact think it was cool. They thought he was gross.
We need try make trump go away.
💙🇺🇸
Doesn't surprise me one bit , how does he always get away with " I'm the victim here "Frump has never been held accountable !! Great vid Farron 😎🍿💙
Trump humiliates Trump
Facts
YEAH, I WONDER WHY DEMOCRATS ARE NOT RUNNING THIS TAPE IN THEIR ADS ABOUT DONALD TRUMP? GREAT VIDEO FARRON.
Thanks for your hard work ❤
HILLARY MADE ONE HUGE STUID ERROR, SHE SAID "WHEN THEY GO LOW, WE GO HIGH" SHE SHOULD HAVE FOUGHT ON HIS LEVEL!!
You are right. But is this not a sad enrichment of the women of America? Come on girlies. Make this stop!!!!
Let them blow bubbles !!
A more fitting football metaphor is the Seahawks throwing the ball at the 2 yard line and getting picked off instead of handing it to Marshawn Lynch
See that’s what he gets, he was never loyal to the people who were loyal to him.
100% right!
I agree 100%
The "over/under" for how long the Jury will deliberate sits at 3 hours - I'll take the under!
"Guys will think it's cool" is EXACTLY something Donald would say. You know it, I know it, and everyone knows it. 😀
Truth about Clinton. So frustrating.
Sums him up!
You right they should have run it last year!!
Dump the Lump!
Vote 🔵!
Sad thing is a whole lot of the younger men did just that.😂😂
Fewer than you think.
Dumb Dumb Donnie Cool - Never! That's just plain funny.
It should be a TOTAL DISASTER 😅
Sadly, I'm sure there are plenty of MAGA men who do.
If you look the other way as though something is beneath you and you don't expose it... There will be no impression left.
Will the jury take this point of view? Hopefully they will.
Im a firm believer of no means no. He doesnt even ask
MICHAEL WOULD HAVE BEEN "THEE" PERFECT WITNESS HAD HE NOT LIED AND GIVEN DEFENSE THIS EXCUSE FOR HIS TESTIMONY!! MICHAEL DESERVES A MEDAL FOR WHAT HE'S DOING!!
I knew it! I freaking knew it back in 2016!
I was honestly shocked that the Access Hollywood tape was as big a deal as it was, because my expectations about how much people care about the treatment of women are just that low! I knew that Trump probably thought that the tape made him look like a player rather than that he was worried about it!
Surprise, Surprise!
#WHERESMELANIA
I agree. 🏈
Namely, Drumpf was thinking *everyone was deep into Red-Pill rubbish..*
