Michael Cohen - Peace By Tweet As Reality Lives In Rubble

Let me introduce you to a little-known, highly underrated word. A word that’s not often uttered in Mar-a-Lago circles, rarely spoken inside the West Wing, and almost entirely foreign to the man currently occupying the Oval Office. That word? Reality.

Yes, I know; beautiful, isn’t it? It has weight. Substance. It doesn’t need all caps, gold trim, or a matching red hat to be powerful. It’s the quiet truth that walks in after the circus leaves town.

Now, I know what you're thinking: "Cohen, what’s the point? We live in a post-truth era where people get their news from memes and their policies from YouTube influencers and TikTokers with usernames like BiglyPatriotDaddy88." And you’re not wrong. But we still owe it to ourselves to put reality on the record. Otherwise, we’re just another banana republic with a nuclear arsenal and a Wi-Fi connection.

Let’s rewind to Trump’s campaign; not the first time, or the second time, but this third cursed remix he ran like a bad cover band that refuses to quit. You may remember the greatest hits: “If I had been president in 2020, there would be no war.” “Russia would never have invaded Ukraine.” “Hamas would have never attacked Israel.” “Iran would behave.” And let’s not forget, “Every man, woman, and child would have been handed a gold-plated unicorn with a side of ivermectin.”
