Yeah.  No way is she ever going to really turn.  Hell even Cohen eventually slid his way back into Trump's good graces.  That was Trump's personal fixer and nothing happened.  Guilfoyle slept with one of Trump's kids and got shuffled off. I cant imagine she'll ever turn. She'll get some bullshit title that needz 5 hours of work a month and pays 300k.   She'll be fine and kept on the payroll like Noem was.

Isn't that pretty much what she's doing now?

99% of the Trump regime has no work jobs, only 1% is actually doing all the work (well, AI is doing most of it now). The 99% exist only to be rubberstampers and future scapegoats.

Stephen Miller is basically running domestic policy.

Donald Trump and Michael Cohen bury the hatchet The pair publicly reunited on Cohen’s radio show after years of legal feuds and name-calling.

Would this be an example of "Keeping your friends close and your enemies closer?"

In his book Fear, Bob Woodward quoted a source close to Trump asserting that Trump's sociopathy is such that when he screws someone over, he doesn't seem to understand that they are likely to be angry with him: He doesn't seem have an intuitive mental model of other people's emotions. So for example, after firing someone without cause and without warning, he might expect them to join him for a cordial lunch the next day.

“it’s just business”

A Capitalist’s mantra.

That explains a lot of Trump' s behaviors but at this point he should just expect normal human reaction from throwing others under the bus.

He's a sociopath: He is physically incapable of understanding normal human emotions.

Same case as Kristi Noem. She has no presidential pardon, just like the rest of his clown car. He's not going to hand out pardons until the last minute, keeping them loyal quiet because they are complicit and if he does not issue that pardon, they can be prosecuted for assorted crimes in 2029.

Most interesting would be if he dies early suddenly and publicly so there's no question he issued no pardons. Then folks there better hope they didn't piss off Vance. Vance would have the perfect opportunity to get even and spin it as "see, I'm a good guy cleaning house."

Trump put Cohen in freaking jail and Cohen weaseled back in.

I mean she was engaged to don jr but then when he dunped her (guessing) and got a new squeeze they dunped Guilfoyle off as ambassador to greece as a thank you for being a loyal foot soldier.

u/FellowHumanNo404 9h ago

Or as a way to keep her quiet.

She was engaged to Don Jr (of course they boned. A serious relationship like that involves some boning) but she was also Gavin Newsome's ex-wife (they later divorced). So she was once married to Gavin Newsome and some people see her more like "a democratic " and not a true Republican. Even though she is totally for Trump.

He had Trump on for an interview on his show and they were chummy.  Nuff said.  Dont give a fuck whatever else happens or feels you went to jail cause of Trump and shit all over him for years and now you're just chatting on a show!?   Fuck.  That.

Cohen was looking for a pardon from Trump.

What does Cohen do for them now?

•

u/chipmunksocute 7h ago

He showed subservience to Trump by giving him a softball interview.  Thats what Trump always really wants.  He might get some quiet fake job in maga land for a nice bit of money but who knows he did shit talk Trump a whole lot for years who knows what Trump will do.
