Trump was a demented loony-tune in Wildwood yesterday.
Michael Cohen was calm, collected, articulate and damning in court today.
Trump was off the rails reading quotes after court. Eric was off the rails on Laura Ingraham screaming about conspiracies.
Ergo, Trump is losing.

Trump's fraudulent charity was banned, his fraudulent university was shut down, he was found liable for defaming a woman he sexually assaulted, his decades-long enterprise was adjudged fraudulent and disgorged, his CEO sits in Rikers, and he's being tried for election fraud --…

Donald Trump Jr. becomes third to smear judge's daughter and witness despite gag order rawstory.com/donald-trump-j…

1. Trump is a terrible businessman.
2. The Apprentice was only a TV show.
3. We shouldn't need a #3.

BOOM! Michael Cohen has just told the court, under oath, that he arranged to purchase Karen McDougal's story 'at the direction of and for the benefit of Mr. Trump.'

Let me guess…. MAGA will claim that Cohen is lying under oath just because he doesn’t like Donald Trump.

I…

Anthony Scarmucci on Michael Cohen's testimony so far, 'The facts that Michael is laying out are irrefutable. Listen again. Mr. Trump is entitled to innocence until that jury says he's guilty, but the facts are there. It'll be very easy, I think, to conclude what happened.'

Really American 🇺🇸 Eric Trump's courtroom stunt is a stunning display of arrogance and contempt for the law, mirroring his father's playbook of deflection and intimidation - but the judge won't be swayed by such petulant behavior!

Really American 🇺🇸 Eric Trump and his father are now in clear violation of the Gag Order! Judge Merchan was Specific about Trump using Family or Handlers to attack Witnesses! LOCK HIM UP!

🚨BREAKING: Eric Trump, one of his father's biggest disappointments, was BUSTED violating Judge Merchan's rules against using mobile devices in the courtroom today.

To make matters worse, he used his phone to hurl an attack at the witness testifying, Michael Cohen. He tweeted 'I…

Cohen says all this happened—a discussion about paying Cohen's $420k out over 12 months—in Trump's office, with Trump, and Weisselberg had the bank statement with his handwritten notes in hand.

'He approved it,' Cohen says.

Cohen walks us through People's 35—the bank statement and handwritten notes.
Q: Whose handwriting is bottom-right? A: Mine.
Q: Bottom-left? A: Weisselberg's.

Now post-holiday, a meeting Jan 2017 btwn Cohen and Weisselberg in which Cohen asked about the reimbursement: 'He said to me, let's sit down, let's do it' and asked Cohen to bring him a copy of the statement showing the $130k transfer from First Republic Bank.

Q: Did you go away with your family on holiday? (Yes) Did Trump call you on vacation?
A: Yes, he said hope you're enjoying your holiday, don't worry about that other thing, I'm going to take care of it when we get back. (which Cohen understood to be the 2/3 diminution of bonus)

'I was, even for myself, unusually angry,' Cohen says, winning some chuckles from the press in the overflow room.

After a mostly even-keeled testimony all day, his emotion, his deep hurt and betrayal, all these years later, is still very apparent.

Dory Beutel 🇺🇸✌🏼🇺🇸 The Shallow State No they can’t.

Eric Trump, JD Vance, and now Don Jr., have all violated Trump's gag order today, and have all violated in the same way - attacking Merchan's daughter and attacking Michael Cohen.
This is being choreographed. It's a sign of desperation. They want a mistrial or some added grounds…

COHEN: “So I had a HELOC already for several months at First Republic Bank before all of this...a HELOC on my apartment, and that account was paperless. Meaning that we wouldn’t receive any documents in the mail.”

COHEN: “And I elected to use money that was in the HELOC because…

No Melania. No Don Jr. No Ivanka or Jared. Trump - who was a raving lunatic on display less than 1 day ago desperately flailing to reclaim grandiosity - has to sit there and relive uncomfortable truths as a diminished man, mostly alone, the furthest thing from grandiose.

Perhaps most devastating Cohen testimony yet:

Trump told Cohen to delay payment to Stormy until after the election because if win, 'I'll be president' and if lose, won't matter

Proves intent was to help campaign, Cohen asks about Melania, Trump replies: I wont be on market long

Eric Trump has been texting/posting on his cell phone from court, despite Judge Merchan forbidding use of cell phones. His posts have also disparaged Cohen and might have violated the gag order.
I'm not positive, but I believe that if he did violate the gag order, it would be…
