“It’s difficult to imagine a worse day in the presidency of Donald Trump than Tuesday, when two gripping legal dramas, one involving his former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, and the other embroiling his longtime lawyer, Michael Cohen, collided in a surreal split screen crescendo,” as CNN is reporting.

“In New York, Cohen pleaded guilty in federal court to eight felony counts of tax fraud, bank fraud and campaign finance violations.

  1. At checkout, I have asked the local Save Mart to take the Enquirer off the rack in line. David Pecker the owner of this rag has helped defraud the American people time and time again. He bought the story of Trump having an affair with a porn star and buried it so it wouldn’t come out before the election. Criminal acts to cover up the life of a perverted, infidelity fueled, madman— Donald Trump.
