Why are Macron’s headlines called a distraction from U.S. politics?

Don Lemon 0:00

Let's talk about what's going on in the world. Because as we were talking a little bit before we came on live, and I'm only mentioning this because it's a distraction. There are much more things that are much more important. I was driving back from Long Island. And on, you know, you listen to conservative radio. I just kept flipping the channels. And the biggest scandal you would think in the world is French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife having a playful moment on a plane. I mean... Is that I think there are things that are much more important, especially with these crazy folks are doing in Washington, D.C. Is that is the right just using that as a distraction?

Michael Cohen 0:37

I don't know what the hell they're doing with it. It makes no difference to me. I don't care. It doesn't mean anything. You know why? You know why, D.? Because Macron is not my president. I don't truly care what he does. I don't care if he wants to have a scotch. I don't care if he wants to have a tequila. I don't care if he wants to have a beer. I don't care if he's got, you know, I don't care what's going on there. It doesn't have any effect upon America. But you know what does? Our president, he's got a real effect. When you're talking about the gutting of Medicare and Medicaid, you're going to have to start dealing with mom and dad and relatives who are on medication, can't afford it. You're talking about the gutting of the Department of Education by Linda McMahon.

Michael Cohen 1:27

You're talking about the FAA losing budgetary money, the attacks on Also, education, Harvard and other institutions and the fact that they're willing to cut experimental cancer research for children. And so there's so much that's going on. I can go on for an hour talking about. Can I add to that? Stupid executive orders.

Don Lemon 1:53

Can I add to that? And then I'll let you go because I like where you're going with this. Also, I did today on my earlier live on YouTube, I did an entire hour on the grift. that is the Trump family right now. They have made billions of dollars off of the presidency since Donald Trump took office this time. I just wanted to add that to your list, Michael.

Michael Cohen 2:18

You know, since we're going to talk about the grift, you may have seen the New York Times did a montage of various different news reporting. Now, Something you know as well, and I'm going to share it with our Substack family, our community here, what ends up happening is the journalist writes the article, but then they submit it to the editor-in-chief who gives it to copyright. Copyright comes up with a title for it. Many times the title is just to catch your eye, but it doesn't exemplify what's written in the article. But there's one photo, for example, there's four podiums, all with the Trump logo on it in Vietnam. The Trump organization is building a golf complex in Vietnam worth, I don't even know how much.

Michael Cohen 3:12

I mean, a fortune. And Eric Trump is standing there at the end. There's three other Vietnamese individuals sitting at different podiums. And again, it's all part of the grift. And I say to myself, is it really necessary? Seriously, is it really necessary? What happens after Trump is out of office to all of these complexes, to all of these projects? They're all going to fail, right? You think so? I do. I believe that they will all fail. But you know what? Vietnam doesn't give a shit. You know what they care about right now? that they're sucking up to Trump and the family in order to avoid tariffs. So basically, they're willing to go ahead and to allow grifting to take place, the abuse and the use of governmental money and the fast tracking of the complex, the golf complex, fast tracked, simply so that they could avoid the increased tariffs.

Michael Cohen 4:21

That's what it's all about. Do you know how much money since we have everybody with us? And by the way, please keep smashing the heart and the square that has the up arrow there. Please share this with your family and your friends. Let's build the community so big. You know, I write about this all the time and I edit at the end of my sub stacks.
