“I can’t just do all this hearsay.”“What about when he says he personally grabs women and kisses them,” I prodded. Trump supporters long ago decided to discount, dismiss, disbelieve, indulge, ignore, endorse, excuse or otherwise rationalise his appalling behaviour. So when Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, calls him a “racist” a “cheat” and a “conman” during testimony before Congress yesterday, don’t expect normal rules to apply. For those who are interested, Cohen illustrated what an emotionally, morally and socially stunted little man America has for a president. The brand of a racist, a conman and a cheat.
