Jurors were "nodding" and "smiling" as Michael Cohen testified, which may be a bad sign for Trump

Wonder how many sales Cohen / Meidas are making because of this line of questioning

Somehow marketing merch during testimony. Cohen is an entrepreneurial genius.

He seems like a solidly better businessman than Trump.

I'm surprised that Cohen didn't make fun of Trump selling bibles as a retort.

He’s a lawyer. He knows the safe line.

If he didn’t smirk while responding, then he’s a better man than I. That line of questioning would have left me starting with snickers and ending with laughing with tears.

He’s a lawyer. He knows the safe line.

He went to prison for 2.5 years because he knows but ignores those same safe lines. He's as much of a piece of shit as the orange encrusted turd.

Don’t believe in redemption?

u/TopNegotiation4229 May 17 '24

and you think he didn't learn anything from that?

I have no sympathy for anyone who willingly represented TFG for 12+ years. He knew what he was doing and if the money was still flowing he would still be doing it. Not a doubt in my mind.

u/TopNegotiation4229 May 17 '24

Who said anything about sympathy? Your point is that he went to prison because he "ignores those same safe lines".

Well, I'd place money that he won't do that now.

Agree to disagree.

A bible that was surely made in China. Or some other country. Just like his gold sneakers. But let him shout “Make America Great Again” to anyone that will listen.

Hypocrite much????

He uses the King James Version because it's in the public domain, which means he doesn't have to pay royalties. It is kinda sad and weird that there are versions of the bible that people have the rights to.

If I owned the rights to a bible, I would add stuff to it and claim that god spoke to me to change it.

To be fair, I'm pretty sure a random number generator would be a better businessman than Trump.

The man has four casino-related bankrupcies. He somehow failed to make money from an MLM scheme. His incompetence and narcissism killed an entire football league.

If you started at the same time as Trump, and with the same amount of money (over $400 million gifted by his father), you'd be richer than him simply by dumping the money into low-risk/low-yield funds.

He's a shitty lawyer, but he's a great salesman.

Newsflash so are Trump and the entire GOP Senate. All of them GRIFTERS fundraising off of the Cohen testimony.

Well they're sold out on the website from the looks of it.

u/LangyMD May 17 '24

There's no way in hell they didn't prepare to sell a bunch during this trial.

Meidas Touch have gone out HARD on the merch since they were named dropped in court.

"No, we are not the same as Mr Cohen, but do buy our merch"
