GLOAT

During closing arguments yesterday in Trump’s hush money trial, the defense lawyer, Todd Blanche, worked to discredit the prosecution’s main witness, Michael Cohen, as the MVP of liars and called the GLOAT, the Greatest Liar Of All Time.

One of his arguments was that Donald Trump’s reimbursements (in installments) to Michael Cohen, for paying off Stormy Daniels with his own money, was “reimbursement for legal fees.” But here’s a fun fact: You don’t need a license to practice law to pay a porn star hush money.

Michael Cohen is a liar. His entire job for Trump required him to lie. But this isn’t the first time a prosecution used testimony from an imperfect person. It’s not nuns flipping on the mob. When the defense argues that Cohen is a lying reprobate who can’t be trusted, they leave out that he worked for their client for over a decade, having an office in Trump Tower right next to Trump’s office.

Liberals did not choose Michael Cohen. Trump did.

Arguing that Michael Cohen is the GLOAT is one thing, but arguing that Michael Cohen is the GLOAT when your client is Donald Trump, and who’s sitting in the same room, is ridiculous. It defies reality.

Sure, Cohen is a liar but he’s not in the same league as Donald Trump when it comes to lies. If Cohen is the GLOAT, then Donald Trump is the BLOAT, “the Biggest Liar Of All Time.”

Donald Trump told over 35,000 lies while he was in the White House. About two weeks ago, he lied about having crowd sizes in New Jersey that were larger than Bruce Springsteens’. Last week, he claimed to draw a crowd of 25,000 in the Bronx, while the permit was for 3,500. Last Saturday, I personally witnessed him read lie after lie off a teleprompter, winging several in the process as well, to a couple hundred booing Libertarians.

Of all the lies Trump has told, from being named Michigan Man of the Year to seeing New Jersey Muslims celebrate 9/11 to saying he got a call from the Boy Scouts telling him he gave the “greatest speech ever” to claiming the noise from windmills causes cancer to lying that Rep. Ilhan Oman, a Muslim, supported al Qaeda to claiming it was he who ended “Obama’s” family-separation policy (Obama didn’t have a family-separation policy) to claiming it didn’t rain during his inauguration even though we all saw that it did to saying the coronavirus was under control before it killed a million Americans and even claiming he didn’t know about the payments to Stormy Daniels, maybe the biggest lie of all is that he won the 2020 election. Perhaps the next big lie will be that he won the 2024 election.

Calling someone else the GLOAT while defending Donald Trump is like claiming Ronald McDonald is the worst kind of carnivore while representing Jeffrey Dahmer.
