Political Beatdown with Michael Cohen

Trump Has MONDAY MELTDOWN After HUMILIATING WEEKEND

Dec 8, 2025
Michael Cohen hilariously critiques Trump's delusions of grandeur during a weekend of self-promotion at the Kennedy Center. From donning a self-awarded ‘FIFA Medal of Peace’ to suggesting he should nominate himself for future honors, Trump's antics provide plenty of fodder. The discussion shifts to Cohen's satire on Trump's flattery and bizarre claims about trade and tariffs. As they dissect Trump's dismissal of serious issues for aesthetic obsessions, Cohen questions what it means to be a true 'peace president' amidst such theatrics.
