Omarosa Says Trump Asked Cohen To Protect Him From Melania
Trumps bad day gets even worse as Omarosa dropped a new tape and told Chris Matthews that Trump asked Michael Cohen to protect him from his wife.
Video @ link~
After playing the tape of Cohen aboard Trumps campaign plane in September 2016, Chris Matthews asked Omarosa, Do you know the president told him to lie for the purpose of paying off those women that it was really a campaign contribution?
Omarosa answered, I cant say if he asked him to lie, but he certainly asked him to protect Donald Trump, to protect him from his wife and the country and help him get elected.
Trump asked Michael Cohen To Protect Him From His Wife
Omarosa brought up an interesting point. Trump wasnt just using Cohen to win an election. He was also trying to protect himself from his wife finding out about his affairs. Trump likes to pretend like he is a strong man, but a real strong man would never cheat on his wife. Only a truly weak and insecure man would cheat like Trump has and then go to the lengths that he did to cover it up.
Michael Cohen is going to jail in part because Donald Trump is afraid of his wife and too immature to face the consequences of his own actions. Trump tried to hide his affairs from his wife and the entire country, and resulting criminal conspiracy could run him out of office and send him to prison.

(40,212 posts)It seems to me that Melania made some kind of Faustian bargain when she married him.

(47,482 posts)that Melania knew about the affairs and probably was glad it kept him away from her, as long as he didn't humiliate her publicly.

(62,276 posts)He is terrified of her finding enough to get out of the prenup. The prenup likely has an embarrassment clause in there somewhere. The only reason she hasn't pulled the trigger is because she wants to see how things play out. If he winds up impeached she'd win the ensuing trial without a doubt.

(5,270 posts)It wasn't so much that he didn't want to hurt her or make her mad personally, but strategically for his election chances he knew that if she found about about his affairs she would not have so publicly supported him and been willing to dismiss the groping accusations and excuse the Access Hollywood tape the way she did in that interview she gave in October to help him.
