Michael Cohen this weekend laid bare what he believes his onetime boss, former President Donald Trump, will do to his critics and opponents if he wins back the White House.
MSNBC’s Jen Psaki noted to Cohen, a former longtime fixer and personal attorney to the now-GOP nominee, how many Republicans are currently seeking to downplay Trump’s efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss to President Joe Biden.
Those Republicans “demonstrating their fealty to Donald have something that they want as a result, if, God forbid, Trump ends up winning the election,” Cohen replied.
“But there are also a slew of Republicans that are not asking for the same thing, that they do not want to just put this thing in the past, that they want to see unity in the United States and start getting rid of the chaos and the divisiveness so that we can all work together for mutual benefits,” he continued.

But that’s “very different than what Donald Trump is saying,” said Cohen. “Donald Trump continues with that bombastic, with the rhetoric of divisiveness and hate.”
Cohen then issued a “big warning, saying he wants people to understand that when Trump says something, he really does mean it.
“Stop sanewashing it, stop trying to make it into something which has some normalcy to it,” he urged. “What he says, he intends to do, and when he turns around and says […] that he intends to use Seal Team Six or the military within which to round up his critics or his opponents, he intends to do it.”
