The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Donald Trump is definitely my enemy, and he’s got billions more enemies on this planet.
Good God, I’ve never felt so loved.
Of course, if recent reports can be believed, it looks like we all have a new friend in erstwhile Trump fixer Michael Cohen. And Al Sharpton, who has known Cohen for years but is light-years distant from him ideologically, is a new friend of his, too.
Sharpton had a sit-down with Cohen recently ... at a restaurant … in full view of the public. And Sharpton thinks the encounter was fraught with meaning.
From The Hill:
“I received a text from him saying he wanted to meet,” Sharpton said. “We met at a public restaurant and we spoke for over an hour. He was very troubled and felt in many ways cast wrongly.”
“And I feel he was saying that he had been abandoned by Mr. Trump," Sharpton continued, adding: “He was adamant that he was opposed to things that Mr. Trump was doing.”
Sharpton told [Ali] Velshi that Cohen's decision to sit down with the MSNBC host known for his work in the civil rights movement was a "signal" to Trump and Robert Mueller's special counsel investigation that he was not in lock-step with his former boss.
“Out of all the people he could reach out to, reaching out to me is sending a signal to Mr. Trump and I think, probably, to prosecutors that he was not one who would not deal with someone who has been fighting Donald Trump for decades on social justice issues," he said.
Can there be any doubt that Cohen is ready to flip on Trump?
And if he does, is there any doubt it would be very, very bad for Trump?
Stay tuned. This rigged witch hunt is getting more and more entertaining by the day.
