I’m convinced these articles are placed by the person’s legal team so that Trump’s team will cut a check. In Cohen’s case, it cleared.

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.

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.
