As the President basks in Supreme Court victories and executive power grabs, his core supporters are peeling away—and the consequences may be deeper than he thinks.
God, I hope his base is abandoning him. Feels like the only hope we have not to see this country sink into ruins. Well, that and the good work of Meidas Touch and others committed to the truth 💙
I think only the most culty of the MAGA cult are strongly behind him. That can't be more than 15% of the population.
Trump has the lowest approval ratings of any President in history, beating his own old record. I see posts all the time for people who voted for Trump, and now regret their vote, you put a wolf in charge of the henhouse!
By the way, I noticed they stopped asking if we were better off than 4 years ago... 🤔
Hey Trumpers: He didn’t cut your taxes, the national debt is going up, he didn’t cut your costs and prices are going up. Regret your vote yet? We know you do.
Not my fault, I voted for Harris proudly and that's why I wear this "Don't blame me, I voted for her" t shirt everywhere I go 👇
Good for you. I love the TShirt slogan. Had it not been for illegal election interference, she would likely be President now. What a different world this would be now. All my support and strength from a Canadian friend. 💪🇨🇦
The fake Christian nationalists brainwashed cult blindly follow Taco Tits. They will be the ones to drink the orange koolaid. Not sure if there is any hope for this herd of orange sheep.
There is no hope for that hard core base. But if what "they" say is true, is lots of folks voted for him because they believed he'd lower prices, deport only violent criminals, somehow address out need for migrant labor while closing the borders and all the other promises he made, they may indeed be seeing that they goofed. And maybe they will care enough to do something about it.
Wishful thinking......Years have been wasted filling the diaper of the Taco Tittybaby.......Maybe when they find themselves living in a place like Hungary...where today 150,000 people risked their lives to protest in the streets for their Pride parade......
wasted and lost, years that can never ever be turned back to make amends for nor to catch up for it. that IS the worst in all this agony created by the kgb-fsb putin's agent krasnov.
Too much of the electorate knows too little about what "government" does, how it works, and what makes a good chief executive. Without that basic knowledge, they can't begin to evaluate campaign promises -- or anything else that gets said in a campaign. Far fewer know much about how "the economy" works. And outside of the League of Women Voters and a few other civic-minded organizations, not much effort goes into improving the situation.
Because people watch entertainment videos now. We used to come home and read our daily paper and wait for Newsweek to get delivered on Tuesday which we read cover to cover.
Sure there are a few of us who are finely tuned in to what is going on, but most of the population they just don't really follow the news at all. They watch kitten and puppy videos to wind down. Only us old folks watch the evening news. Fox has destroyed our country. They really really have. And then their spawn, the outfits that go where even Fox doesn't go. And the algorithms , suck ppl down into that rabbit hole. My brother in law is completely coopted and it was the algorithms that took him. It's sad there is no reaching him.
In my area immigrants ARE the labor force. From the restaurants, to construction, the back breaking work of concrete and roofing, to janitorial. The reason our economy was humming under Biden, literally the envy of the world, was all the immigrants who came to our country to work. THEY filled the jobs. When they all get deported back, nothing is going to move in my area, we''l be a ghost town.
One of the many things I don't understand is how the GOP who used to be sort of the pro business party does not care about decimating our work force. And not just in blue states. The infrastructure bill was bringing good paying jobs to the red states and they are ending that. No competent person from any other nation wants to move here now so we will be losing doctors as the 75% of the doctors we have who are white Americans start to retire in big numbers and without doctors the hospitals. , which are big business, won't show much of a profit. I am no economist but seems to me that when you take away a big part of the work force it doesn't just impact that particular industry but rather all the businesses in the area...if there are no janitors making money there are no customers for the local walmart or gas station. How is that good for the economy?
It is the way it always always is, Republicans put us into recessions and depressions and Democrats come in behind them and pull us out. This is deep though, 3 to 5 TRILLION DOLLARS in deficit. Ain't no way we are coming back from that. Dark and stormy days are ahead.
I'm a pacifist, or at least I think I am. To paraphrase a song, And before I'll ,be a murder, I'll lie burred in my grave and go home to my Lord and be free. Well, I also don't believe in the going home to my Lord part and I don't know what I'd do if my choice was between killing someone and having them hurt my kids or grandkids. I am a believer in economic warfare and boycotting (not just for one day but for as long as we can with as much as we can.)
Being self-defensive is an integral part of pacifism. In the worst of moments, you're given by only two choices - to be murdered or to self-defend yourself. ...........
I wouldn't count much on that... the putin's slaves incl. "proud boys" terrorists will be back to their raggedy daddy 'cause the other ones they don't have.
The supreme Court sold this country down the creek with their decision calling a Corporation "A Person"... And now, they're riding a sled down the hill...!!!! What on Earth has happened to peoples' sence of honor!?!?!?
“A wicked design to erect and uphold in himself an unlimited and tyrannical power to rule according to his Will, and to overthrow the Rights and Liberties of the People’. In carrying out this strategy, he had ‘traitorously and maliciously levied war against the present Parliament and the people therein represented.”
– One of the accusations laid on Charles 1st of England during his Trial
Great post Michael! I appreciate that the Proud Boys are turning onTrump the Skunk and are seeing reality to what this horrid man is doing to your country! It is amazing how the world views Trump not as an Autocrat but a destabilizer to the American democracy. He is a worldwide joke! but he just won't believe it. Sad man! By the way I'm a Maple Mideas and support all the American people in their fight for democracy and truth.
I don't care if trump believes he is a world wide joke and/or more importantly someone to not be trusted or believed. I just wish the GOP Congress believed it. They are more responsible than he is since they have the power to stop him and choose not to.
Michael, as one who perhaps saw, up closer than anyone else, the way MegaloDon (sounds like one of the dangerous creatures in the new Jurassic Park movie)operated. You have the unfortunate but intuitive insight into how he’ll react to these judgments. I hope you’re correct,as you usually are, about him and his followers and we’ll see the demise of this ghastly creature and regime just like it happens in the movies! Wouldn’t that be a dream?
I hope maga is getting the message that trump is really for himself alone. It will happen when all of the prices go up and Medicaid is slashed. As we see nursing homes and hospitals collapse. When it comes home to their door step there will be hell to pay. What then?
Many thanks for the explanation. It’s somewhat reassuring to see that the 14th amendment hasn’t been totally obliterated.
I don’t think the electorate is as apathetic and disengaged as you think. The millions and millions of people across this country who came out to protest on 6/14 would suggest otherwise.
Cohen, I am under No ILLUSIONS. Despite this Ape's approval ratings and the synchophantic symphony of lies being drowned by Truth from our Idependant Media, this bastard is more dangerous! Summer 2025 is the Awakening. We the People want our government back! The bastsrd is putting up barricades for US.
Yes we must work a whole lot harder this summer and beyond. Once the GOP passes the budget bill we will sadly have a lot more concrete ammunition to use to talk to voters. And we must somehow get bigger and bigger protests. Those of us such as myself that cannot attend a protest have to dig deeper and figure out a way to support those who can. I know Women's March often talks about needing funding for porta potties, so I know there are ways we can help indirectly. I am one of many subscribers on a really tight budget but I try to donate at least a few dollars to Indivisible or other groups who will use that money to make our protests bigger. While the GOP is on course to pass a highly unpopular budget that will hurt the red states much more than the blue states I believe that at some point that coalition will start to break up some, enough for trump to lose his power. It won't take too many leaving the cult. When the GOP governors starts seeing what the budget is doing to their states, there may be some pushback from them. I think it was former Senator John Tester who said in an interview once these rural hospitals are gone, they will not come back. Even the heartless GOP governors have to be concerned about that. They don't seem to get that the rest of the world is moving on and not longer trusts the US and is making trade deals with each other, and that trust will also never come back. I think Europe has around 449 million folks, Great Britain 68 million, Canada 48 million, Mexico 129 million, Australia 26 million, and if you add them all together, that's a whole lot more than the 340 million in America. And South America has another 438 million. Now they may not all be as willing as Americans to go really far to debt to have material goods, but if you add them all together that's a pretty formidable consumer base and with not much time I feel they will bounce back from the trump trade wars stronger than ever and the US will be weaker and remain weaker than ever. I am so far from being an economist and I may be totally wrong, but maybe not! Here's to the Summer of Democracy!
Dems need to go hard pro democracy, pro constitution. Pro more financials for the poor and middle class, boldly campaign on taxing the rich. Stop being weak, we need to take back our country harder than the Nazis are trying to take it.
We need more folks to stand up and clearly state what Mamdani said...we should have and can afford free child care, free bus passes and affordable housing...as a young guy he's much more in tune with new ways to build affordable housing like 3 D printing, and he's not afraid to say we need to tax the rich more. If all the rich don't like it they can move out and I think New Yorkers, as would all Americans if we taxed the rich more and they moved out would rapidly adjust and become much more community oriented and just a better place to live.
I know MTN does an amazing amount of coverage of many things trump but I would like to see one more you tube "show" on the economy...really what is going on..how many people lost their jobs this past week? How are the deportations impacting farmers in Florida or Texas or Idaho? Are truck drivers doing fine or has movement of good already slowed down? Are nursing homes flooded with applicants for housekeeping? Are fewer doctors coming to America to work? have Americans quit spending $7 Billion a year on potato chips as one way to pay their rent/utility bills? While talking about how trump's weird selling of Daddy shirt on the official white house web page is gross and probably illegal, as they say a fool and his money are soon parted, but the economic hardships that trump is failing to address hit home with 98% of Americans and we need to do a better job of bringing this to the attention of the voters.
You bring up a lot of good points, Pat, which I’d like to know also. I’m finding it overwhelming to keep up with so much information and issues and do my best just focusing on a plan of action that keeps our hope alive.
I’ve been at this for decades and have been warning our elected officials about the corruption and incompetence that I’ve seen. Unfortunately, it’s fallen on deaf ears and they’re just now waking up.
Albert Einstein was quoted as saying that we can’t find solutions in a system that creates the problem - or something close to that - and he was right. We need to get back to moral & ethical principles and holding one another accountable.
I don’t know what to do with those who are the evilest among us. From a soldier’s point of view it would be to bury them and be done with it. We never did settle our differences after the The Civil War and suspect that we need to do it now.
For the most evil among us we work really hard with elon musk and make it so we can literally send them to Mars and let them ply their evil among themselves. We have kindness tribunals all over the world and once you've had three strikes of unkindness you're off to Mars, or one if it's a really evil action. Musk would be in the first trip which would be fitting!
yep, he&his were those who tampered with the tabulating machines with the cracked code creating the unprecedented "drop-off" effects in the battleground states i.e. simply stealing Kamala's votes to give them to tRumputin on nov. 5th 2024.
So as not to be misunderstood that you and I endorse a awwwww "violence", NOPE! But the fact IS that USA as one and the same country in this shape and form, I repeat, as one and the same country in this shape and form with tRumputinists - is unsustainable and totally impossible!! knowing all this back in this past november I've been writing about the most peaceful the possible drafts for starting to solve this unbearable agony in a form of a governing rearrangement. because I don't see to what ends is when one side i.e. tRumputinists keep evilly spitefully capriciously violating the US Constitution while Democrats keep trembling terrorized by tRumputinists like a battered wife is of her psychopathic husband??
The leash is still there, he’s just not smart enough to see it. He is clueless to the difference between winning and a momentary setback that will grab him by the neck and violently swing him around that flagpole he just planted. Justice Sotomayor gave the judicial system the keys to fix the problem. Maryland is on a roll! But DJT is just delusional enough to think he can now shut down the 14th Amendment, abandon birthright citizenship, and then not believe that people don’t support him anymore. Wait until that shit hits the fan! Wait until the congress finally has had enough and abandons the wannabe King for principle. I feel somewhat sorry for Rubio and Vance, who hitched their carts to the wrong mules.
I cannot and will not feel sorry for anyone who supported a career criminal, unless they actively come out and work against the Felon-in-Chief, as Mr Cohen has.
Even if they do come out and work against the Dictator, I'll never, ever feel sorry for them. They've helped him make our country into a total mess which, even if he and his allies are stopped, it's going to take YEARS for us to rebuild and get back to some kind of normalcy.
I don't feel sorry for Rubio or Vance at all. I hope they burn in the hell of unbelievable public disdain. And the GOP will not abandon king trump for principles , they have none, but they probably will abandon him if the see they will not win the next election.
Sad that he's going to die and escape his own burning down of the country. Plus, he's in late stage dementia so he doesn't even get to feel any of it, not that he's capable of feeling.
I agree, he has never been capable of feeling anything. I wonder is sociopathism is inherited. It seems all his children have similar sociopathic tendencies in that they do not care for anyone except themselves, not their spouses, not their children. None of them has ever shown the tiniest bit of compassion.
We will never know the answer now, due to cuts to science. Personality disorders have been so misunderstood ,yet they are probably the most dangerous mental illness diagnosis in the world. They kill people, and if they don't, create chaos and misery.
Well said! One hope is that the rest of the world will study mental illness and take pity on us (because they have compassion) and share what they learn with us. The cutting back on medicaid is going to impact millions of persons with mental health issues and I am petty sure the GOP doesn't quite have all the insane asylums ready to house them, but then maybe they will after they deport the millions of immigrants to other countries. I must say I wonder just how far back in time the GOP will take us...third world status for sure, but third world looking backward, not trying to move forward. How sad to want that for people you are supposed to represent, for those in your society who need help the most.
gopers' commander in chief is terrorist putin of russia through his vassal j.d. tRump who is tasked to literally destroy America with all means.
Americans, don't you get it - you've been attacked by terrorist putin's russia in similar ways Ukraine was when the midget terrorist putin had installed his puppet yanukovych over there!!
The old adage, "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree," definitely applies here concerning Trump's children, and if that's true, Trump is probably like his own father or worse.
Actually, the greatest power on earth is Love, and Trump is so far away from that word, that feeling, that understanding, I fear for him. He may be sitting in the most powerful chair on earth, but to rule without love is a calamity.
Well, sadly, to rule without love is not a calamity for anyone who is a sociopath. I do have some sympathy for sociopaths as they literally do not know what they are missing. They don't get sad that no one loves them or that they've never felt a motherly or fatherly love for anyone because they just don't have the emotion of love. I would not trade the joy and love I've had in my life for all the power in the world and they just have no idea what I'm talking about. I'd rather be me than them.
Yes, I was asking for real. Lol. So do you think DT is a psychopath or sociopath? Technically I've read psycho's are born, socio's develop...if that's any help. Personally, I believe Trump to be a psychopath, devoid of human emotion and everything else defining homo sapiens...
God, I hope his base is abandoning him. Feels like the only hope we have not to see this country sink into ruins. Well, that and the good work of Meidas Touch and others committed to the truth 💙
I think only the most culty of the MAGA cult are strongly behind him. That can't be more than 15% of the population.
Trump has the lowest approval ratings of any President in history, beating his own old record. I see posts all the time for people who voted for Trump, and now regret their vote, you put a wolf in charge of the henhouse!

The fake Christian nationalists brainwashed cult blindly follow Taco Tits. They will be the ones to drink the orange koolaid. Not sure if there is any hope for this herd of orange sheep.
There is no hope for that hard core base. But if what "they" say is true, is lots of folks voted for him because they believed he'd lower prices, deport only violent criminals, somehow address out need for migrant labor while closing the borders and all the other promises he made, they may indeed be seeing that they goofed. And maybe they will care enough to do something about it.
Wishful thinking......Years have been wasted filling the diaper of the Taco Tittybaby.......Maybe when they find themselves living in a place like Hungary...where today 150,000 people risked their lives to protest in the streets for their Pride parade......
wasted and lost, years that can never ever be turned back to make amends for nor to catch up for it. that IS the worst in all this agony created by the kgb-fsb putin's agent krasnov.
I am full of wishful thinking! Sadly usually clouded with some degree of cynicism.

Gobsmacking.

Proud Boys seem to like fighting in the US. I read this as they aren’t happy about the chance of fighting abroad, in actual military.
yep, just the way their supreme-leader putin of kgb-fsb groomed them to be.
There are some maga idiots that started using their brain cell and said fuck this shit, I'm done with Taco Don.
Thank you for explaining this. I only wish more people could see that this Supreme Court ruling is not simply a sell out to tRump. It's a road map.

Excellent point! And yes, if they hadn't and didn't keep their mouths shut and obeyed him tooth and nail, we wouldn't be in the mess we're in now.
but the monstrous fact is that the death cult of gang of putin i.e. gop is/are identically evil as him.
let that sink in and find the ways to destroy them all!!
BINGO! And the republiCRAPS are too stupid to see it! Thank you for your response!
Oh, they see it, all right. They see it -- and cheer it on.
Guess I should say they don't WANT to see it??????? Thanks for your response.
Why did you reduce your existence and dignity craving anything fair from sadists who are the identical evil, if not even worse, than their daddy??
And we appreciate it, too! Elbows up!
Great article, well-said. Got me to subscribe, :)
Agreed! Great article!! Sadly, I think a lot of us volley between cynicism and hope, depending on the day.
Michael Cohen is such an excellent writer. He paints a clear picture and wastes no words.

Many thanks for the explanation. It’s somewhat reassuring to see that the 14th amendment hasn’t been totally obliterated.

Yes we must work a whole lot harder this summer and beyond. Once the GOP passes the budget bill we will sadly have a lot more concrete ammunition to use to talk to voters. And we must somehow get bigger and bigger protests. Those of us such as myself that cannot attend a protest have to dig deeper and figure out a way to support those who can.

They don't seem to get that the rest of the world is moving on and not longer trusts the US and is making trade deals with each other, and that trust will also never come back. I think Europe has around 449 million folks, Great Britain 68 million, Canada 48 million, Mexico 129 million, Australia 26 million, and if you add them all together, that's a whole lot more than the 340 million in America. And South America has another 438 million. Now they may not all be as willing as Americans to go really far to debt to have material goods, but if you add them all together that's a pretty formidable consumer base and with not much time I feel they will bounce back from the trump trade wars stronger than ever and the US will be weaker and remain weaker than ever.

Let’s hope you’re right!
You’re absolutely right, MT. We need to have this movement focused on economics, with a boycott that hurts those who are funding the regime.
I know MTN does an amazing amount of coverage of many things trump but I would like to see one more you tube "show" on the economy...really what is going on..how many people lost their jobs this past week? How are the deportations impacting farmers in Florida or Texas or Idaho? Are truck drivers doing fine or has movement of good already slowed down?

We have kindness tribunals all over the world and once you've had three strikes of unkindness you're off to Mars, or one if it's a really evil action. Musk would be in the first trip which would be fitting!
yep, he&his were those who tampered with the tabulating machines with the cracked code creating the unprecedented "drop-off" effects in the battleground states i.e. simply stealing Kamala's votes to give them to tRumputin on nov. 5th 2024.
Bingo!! My experiences and sentiments exactly!!
So as not to be misunderstood that you and I endorse a awwwww "violence", NOPE! But the fact IS that USA as one and the same country in this shape and form, I repeat, as one and the same country in this shape and form with tRumputinists - is unsustainable and totally impossible!! knowing all this back in this past november I've been writing about the most peaceful the possible drafts for starting to solve this unbearable agony in a form of a governing rearrangement. because I don't see to what ends is when one side i.e. tRumputinists keep evilly spitefully capriciously violating the US Constitution while Democrats keep trembling terrorized by tRumputinists like a battered wife is of her psychopathic husband??
The leash is still there, he’s just not smart enough to see it. He is clueless to the difference between winning and a momentary setback that will grab him by the neck and violently swing him around that flagpole he just planted. Justice Sotomayor gave the judicial system the keys to fix the problem. Maryland is on a roll! But DJT is just delusional enough to think he can now shut down the 14th Amendment, abandon birthright citizenship, and then not believe that people don’t support him anymore. Wait until that shit hits the fan! Wait until the congress finally has had enough and abandons the wannabe King for principle. I feel somewhat sorry for Rubio and Vance, who hitched their carts to the wrong mules.
I cannot and will not feel sorry for anyone who supported a career criminal, unless they actively come out and work against the Felon-in-Chief, as Mr Cohen has.
Even if they do come out and work against the Dictator, I'll never, ever feel sorry for them. They've helped him make our country into a total mess which, even if he and his allies are stopped, it's going to take YEARS for us to rebuild and get back to some kind of normalcy.
His list of supporters during and after the campaign for his inauguration are posted for all to see.
I don't feel sorry for Rubio or Vance at all. I hope they burn in the hell of unbelievable public disdain. And the GOP will not abandon king trump for principles , they have none, but they probably will abandon him if the see they will not win the next election.
The part about Proud Boys… I had no clue. I needed to read this article
today. Thank you.
Sad that he's going to die and escape his own burning down of the country. Plus, he's in late stage dementia so he doesn't even get to feel any of it, not that he's capable of feeling.
I agree, he has never been capable of feeling anything. I wonder is sociopathism is inherited. It seems all his children have similar sociopathic tendencies in that they do not care for anyone except themselves, not their spouses, not their children. None of them has ever shown the tiniest bit of compassion.
We will never know the answer now, due to cuts to science. Personality disorders have been so misunderstood ,yet they are probably the most dangerous mental illness diagnosis in the world. They kill people, and if they don't, create chaos and misery.
Well said! One hope is that the rest of the world will study mental illness and take pity on us (because they have compassion) and share what they learn with us. The cutting back on medicaid is going to impact millions of persons with mental health issues and I am petty sure the GOP doesn't quite have all the insane asylums ready to house them, but then maybe they will after they deport the millions of immigrants to other countries. I must say I wonder just how far back in time the GOP will take us...third world status for sure, but third world looking backward, not trying to move forward. How sad to want that for people you are supposed to represent, for those in your society who need help the most.
gopers' commander in chief is terrorist putin of russia through his vassal j.d. tRump who is tasked to literally destroy America with all means.
Americans, don't you get it - you've been attacked by terrorist putin's russia in similar ways Ukraine was when the midget terrorist putin had installed his puppet yanukovych over there!!
Indeed!! Yep.
The old adage, "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree," definitely applies here concerning Trump's children, and if that's true, Trump is probably like his own father or worse.
d.j. tRumputin is worse. his father, for all his evil, still wasn't given the mightiest power on Earth.
Actually, the greatest power on earth is Love, and Trump is so far away from that word, that feeling, that understanding, I fear for him. He may be sitting in the most powerful chair on earth, but to rule without love is a calamity.
Well, sadly, to rule without love is not a calamity for anyone who is a sociopath. I do have some sympathy for sociopaths as they literally do not know what they are missing. They don't get sad that no one loves them or that they've never felt a motherly or fatherly love for anyone because they just don't have the emotion of love. I would not trade the joy and love I've had in my life for all the power in the world and they just have no idea what I'm talking about. I'd rather be me than them.
True. But technically speaking, Pat Robinson nailed it in his first sentence.
Hiya Vel, so what was Trumpty's father like?
Asking me for real? A bawdy-houses psychopath, according to what I've read.
Yes, I was asking for real. Lol. So do you think DT is a psychopath or sociopath? Technically I've read psycho's are born, socio's develop...if that's any help. Personally, I believe Trump to be a psychopath, devoid of human emotion and everything else defining homo sapiens...
I hope you are right. It’s becoming quite the desperate situation.
Superb piece!
