Rolling Stone Michael Cohen: Trump Pulled Off the ‘Greatest Grift in U.S. History,’ Will Not Run Again Peter Wade
Donald Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, said that he believes the former president will not run again, having already pulled off “the greatest grift in U.S. history” raising money from his supporters who believe his lies that the 2020 election was stolen from him.
Cohen, during a Meet the Press appearance on Sunday, said that Trump wants to keep the grift going and hopes to continue raising millions of dollars from his supporters to purportedly help overturn the election. According to Cohen, Trump running again in 2024 might put that in jeopardy.
“Yeah, so this should become a documentary, and it should be called the greatest grift in U.S. history. Donald Trump has made it very clear that he is grifting off of the American people, these supporters, these individuals that are just sending money to him at record levels,” Cohen said. “So, one of the biggest problems for Donald Trump is that he makes a statement, right, that ‘I’m thinking about it, I’m thinking about [running].’ That’s only to keep the grift growing and to keep the grift going.”
Cohen continued, saying that Trump would tease a potential run right up to the “very last second” when he will bow out, similar to what he did when he hinted at a run in 2011. Prolonging the possibility of a 2024 run, Cohen said, would allow the grift to continue.
“One of the things Donald Trump has done is grift off of the big lie, that the election was stolen from him in 2020. It was not stolen from him,” Cohen said. “If he loses, and he will in 2024, what happens to the big lie? The big lie disappears. He can’t now be like the boy who cried wolf. ‘Oh, they stole it from me in 2020, they now stole it from me in 2024.’ Right? Now that goes out the door, and there goes his money, there goes the big grift. So, like I said before, it’s not going to happen. He’s going to run it — like he did in 2011 — right to the very, very last second.”
Cohen, once Trump’s personal attorney and one of his closest allies, turned on him when he cooperated with law enforcement. He was sentenced to three years in prison in 2018 after pleading guilty to numerous crimes, including tax evasion and campaign finance violations in connection with paying off actor Stormy Daniels and model Karen McDougal to keep them silent during the 2020 campaign about their affairs with Trump. He is currently promoting a book, Disloyal, which he wrote about his time with Trump.
All true.
And the Democrats pulled off their own grift, milking you sad fuckers by telling you that I was Hitler 2.0
Rolling Stone A Guide to All the Times Mike Lindell and QAnon Promised Trump Would Definitely Be Back in the White House The pillow baron may be the most obnoxious believer that the former president is returning to office soon, but a disturbing number of Americans are right there with him By RYAN BORT
It’s Thanksgiving, and with all due respect to any relatives who may have colorful takes on vaccine mandates, critical race theory, and the Rittenhouse verdict, the craziest uncle of 2021 is, without a doubt, Mike Lindell.
The pillow baron has for a year now been claiming vociferously that the 2020 election was rigged, that he can prove it, and that it won’t be long before everyone realizes the truth and Donald Trump is reinstated as president of the United States. Lindell most recently trumpeted Thanksgiving as the date Trump will be back in office. He has promoted a 96-hour holiday weekend livestream in which he will unpack “the historic U.S. Supreme Court complaint on the 2020 election” he says will reinstall Trump in the White House. (The livestream got off to a rocky start.)
Lindell is a clown and easy to mock. So is the idea that there is any sort of legal pathway for Trump, who lost to President Biden by a considerable margin, to be reinstated as president. But just because something is easy to mock doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be taken seriously (see: the 45th president himself).
The idea that Trump will return to office has been spreading throughout the MAGA movement since January. A Politico/Morning Consult poll published in June found that 29 percent of Republicans believe this is actually going to happen by the end of the year. A YouGov poll conducted in early November found that 28 percent of Republicans believed it was either “very likely” or “somewhat likely” Trump would be back in office by the end of the year.
In other words, millions and millions and millions of people have, like Lindell, lost touch with reality to a truly terrifying degree. Many of them are determined to stay out in orbit, perpetually setting and resetting dates Trump will definitely, this time, return to power. It can be a little hard to track all of these deadlines, so here’s a guide to one of the year’s most unhinged conspiracy-theory rabbit holes, which doesn’t appear to have a bottom.
Jan. 20: QAnon is based on the belief that the world is run by a cabal of Satan-worshipping pedophiles, and that Trump in his capacity as president was going bring all of these people to justice. The fact that he got trounced by Biden last November accelerated the timeline for this to happen, and once the election results were certified on Jan. 6, conspiracy theorists decided he was going to do it on Biden’s inauguration day, while at the same time revealing a secret plan to remain in office. This did not happen. QAnon adherents were confused, but not deterred. In fact, they were more not-deterred than anyone realized possible.
March 4: Yeah, Biden was inaugurated on Jan. 20. So what? The real Inauguration Day is March 4, conspiracy theorists claimed, and it was on March 4, 2021, that Trump would be sworn in for his second term.
The theory hinged on the idea that, in 1871, Congress turned the government into a corporation, and that every president who has held office since is illegitimate. March 4 served as Inauguration Day prior to 1933, when the 20th Amendment was passed, and it would be on this day that Trump would be inaugurated as the 19th president, or the first legitimate successor to Ulysses S. Grant. (Don’t think too hard about the logic here. It’s not supposed to make sense.)
The theory became widespread enough that hashtags like #march4th and #19thpresident started spreading across social media. The Capitol Police even warned of a “possible plot to breach the Capitol by an identified militia group” on the date, leading the House of Representatives to cancel plans for a session.
March 20: OK, nothing happened on March 4. What about March 20? It’s basically the same thing, right? I mean, when you think about it, all that’s differentiating the two dates are things like time and math, both of which are being foisted on us by liberal scientists. Can we just say he’ll come back on the 20th, instead?
There were corners of QAnon that did indeed say this, citing the Presidential Enhancement Act. Signed into law in 2020, the act is designed to smooth the transition of power by, in part, providing certain support to the president-elect’s team for 60 days after the inauguration. Conspiracy theorists misinterpreted this to mean that Trump retained control of the freaking military for 60 days after inauguration, and that the official transfer of power would not take place until March 20.
Aug. 13: All right, March was a bad month for conspiracy theorists. It was time to take a breather and really figure out when Trump was going to return to power. Lindell announced on March 29 that it was happening in August, citing all of the evidence of election fraud he was going to show the Supreme Court.
It wasn’t just Lindell, either. Trump himself had been telling people he expected to be back in the White House by August, as Maggie Haberman of The New York Times reported in June.
In July, Lindell locked down a specific date. “By the morning of Aug. 13 it’ll be the talk of the world, going, ‘Hurry up! Let’s get this election pulled down. Let’s right the right. Let’s get these communists out, you know, that have taken over,'” he told right-wing conspiracy theorist Bannon Howse.
Nov. 25: Nothing happened in August, either, but that’s OK. Lindell soon thereafter pegged Thanksgiving as the new date Trump would return to office based on his plan to deliver his “historic” election fraud complaint, which would be signed by state attorneys general, to the Supreme Court earlier this week. “I talked to all the lawyers today,” he said in September. “One hundred percent we are getting this before the Supreme Court before Thanksgiving. That is locked in stone, everybody.”
This did not happen.
Lindell explained why to Steve Bannon, noting that the attorneys general he claims to have spoken to “have so much going on right now that last Friday they gave them until today to fight these mandates where kids had to take the vaccine.” …OK. There are also, of course, the attorneys general who are refusing to sign onto the suit, whom Lindell said simply “don’t want to help save our country.”
“You know a lot of things are happening out there that are very suspicious,” he added.
Lindell also blamed Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, who he said on his livestream Monday pressured attorneys general not to sign the complaint. “How dare the RNC try and stop this case from getting to the Supreme Court,” he ranted. “Shame on you, RNC! You are worse than Fox now! You can’t tell me why Ronna McDaniel, the head of the RNC, made a statement saying Biden won three days before this Supreme Court complaint was supposed to go to the Supreme Court.”
Lindell even released the complaint that all of these traitors prevented him from filing in time for Turkey Day. It’s 82 pages long, chock full of disproven conspiracy theories, and lists the plaintiff as “State of [Insert Your State Here].” Lindell has said the complaint is so rock solid that the Supreme Court will rule in favor of [Insert Your State Here] unanimously, and that this will somehow result in Trump’s return to office.
It’s no longer going to happen by Thanksgiving, but it surely won’t take Lindell long to come up with another date to tell supporters to expect Trump to return to office. Go ahead and tune into his livestream and find out. He may even offer a promo code for a Black Friday pillow deal.
Ever wonder why the media don't ever ask "who is Q Anon"?
Because they've been told not to ask.
It's Ezra Cohen-Watnick, a creepy deep state jedi.
Q-Anon's whole bag was "don't do anything. We have it all under control. Trust the plan."
It was similar to Operation Trust which the jedis ran during the Bolshevik takeover of Russia. In that operation they spread rumors that the Tsar was just about to take over again, don't do anything, trust the plan. It gave the Bolsheviks time to cement their hold on real power, while their opponents awaited the emergence of the Tsar's secret plan.

you are not alone, most people don't know that or don't want to find out its true or not, those that actually look into it find its so plane to see. first you have to put yourself at the table back in the day when it was all written down, who was there making this shit up?? well it was people there wasn't a government just people. so why were we doing it? well we were sick of government taking from us and not representing us . so WE the PEOPLE made the rights for the people so they would stay free and the rules the government has to follow. so 238 years go by and people who don't know a damn thing about what I just told you try and say its to old it doesnt count anymore. really,,, thats dumb shit, a moron says it doesnt count but it was smart folks looking out for future freedoms writing the constitutions not morons, so yes its all still holding up after 238 years. its a serious fight to save the nation because the globilists have been placing there own people in power for over 50 years and the patriot's were not taught constitution in school so we didn't even know we didn't know, now we know you still don't but we do, and by we I mean about 7% of the real patriots know what I'm saying, the rest are all hung up on audits, trump lawyers and courts.
Obviously a very miserable human being, one look at her post history shows what a miserable cunt this bitch is. Seriously like 90% of her posts consist of her name calling, belittling everyone who disagrees with her and just bitching in general 💩 It must really suck to have to deal with her irl ☠️
