Donald Trump is in deep shit. So deep, that he finally admitted to leaving the White House at the end of the month. And his supporters? Well, some would say Wedesnday\\u2019s riot in D.C., when his supporters-turned-domestic-terrorists defaced the Capitol, inspired an \\u201coh-fuck\\u201d moment. As for what is going through the president\\u2019s head right now, co-hosts Rick Wilson and Molly Jong-Fast turned to the man who spent a good deal of time with Trump to find out. Michael Cohen, author of Disloyal and host of the Mea Culpa podcast, came on the latest episode of The New Abnormal to chat about the chaos and what Trump\\u2019s next moves are. Needless to say, he did not censor himself in the slightest. \\u201cI am certain that Donald Trump is psychotic right now,\\u201d he says, adding that he fully believes a coup was the president\'s goal all along. \\u201cDonald Trump would rather burn down the White House, then turn over the keys.\\u201d At the least, Trump and his enablers on the Hill encouraged the events that went down and Cohen thinks they should \\u201cpay.\\u201d Yes, he was someone who encouraged him, but it\\u2019s different, he says. \\u201cI did work for him. And what did I do? I paid $130,000, you know, to keep quiet. The fact that the president got his pecker pulled by a porn star, seriously? And you want to compare that to the seditious acts of these proud boys, of the Wolverine Watchmen and all these other crazy groups? You can\\u2019t compare the two.\\u201d Then, James Carville joins and gives an ultimatum to the Biden administration: \\u201cIf they\'re not going to look at [Trump\\u2019s crimes], I\'m going to resign from the Democratic party,\\u201d he says. \\u201cIf it\'s not an impeachable offense to encourage a mob, to interfere with a constitutionally mandated congressional procedure, then there\'s nothing impeachable.\\u201d Plus, Rick breaks down Wednesday\'s seditious acts, Josh Hawley gets inducted into the Fuck that Guy Hall of Fame, and he and Molly speculate if anyone actually would vote to keep Ted Cruz in the Senate. And! Look out for a Trump News Network! Coming soon for just $4.99 a month!
