Donald Trump is definitely feeling the heat after his longtime personal lawyer Michael Cohen turned against him and looks more likely to flip with every passing day.
Recently, Cohen screwed his former client over big time when he publicly claimed that Trump knew about Donald Trump Jr.’s infamous meeting with the Russians, a meeting that was set up to get dirt on Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton. This not only blew up the lies of Trump and his legal team, but got his son in major trouble for lying under oath about the meeting.
Ever since Cohen dropped this bombshell, it seems that the person who has the most to lose is now Trump’s son — and daddy knows it. Earlier this morning, the President of the United States made a truly petty, desperate move right out of a teenager’s playbook. He dug up an old tweet of Michael Cohen’s in which the lawyer praised Trump Jr. for being honest. The tweet, which was posted last year, said:
So proud of @DonaldJTrumpJr for being open, honest and transparent to the American people. This nonsense needs to stop!”
Trump linked to that tweet and asked, “Do you think the Fake News Media will ever report on this tweet from Michael?”

It’s disturbing that the President of the United States has time to look up old tweets from his former lawyer, and would use such a childish tactic in the first place. This move follows reports that Special Counsel Robert Mueller is using Trump’s tweets in the investigation — so clearly, Trump is trying to discredit Cohen on Twitter now. Trump’s legal battles continue to be an embarrassment for the United States as the president airs out all of his dirty laundry for the world to see.
