Michael Cohen Says He Regrets Not Smacking Trump For Saying Teen Daughter Was “Hot”
In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Samantha Cohen, the daughter of former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, said when she was 15, Trump noticed her walking off a tennis court and said, “Look at that piece of ass.” The now-president also allegedly added, “I would love some of that,” only to have Cohen inform him the woman in question was his teenage daughter! However, Trump didn’t come off as apologetic. Instead, he asked Cohen, “That’s your daughter? When did she get so hot?,” the Huffington Post quotes.
Now, during a Monday appearance on “The View” to promote his new book, “Disloyal: A Memoir: The True Story of the Former Personal Attorney to President Donald J. Trump,” host Joy Behar asked: “Why didn’t you sock him in the face at that moment? How could you let that slide?” He then gave an explanation while blaming his behavior on Stockholm syndrome.
“Well, I wouldn’t have liked to have said it, I would have liked to have smacked him across the side of the head. I never would have allowed anybody to speak to or about my daughter in such a disrespectful way,” Cohen said. “I did just because, you know, as so many people would say, let Trump be Trump, and that’s the problem.”
From there, he went on to explain that he wrote his book to “get people to open up their eyes and to see the individual for who he really is,” the news site quotes.
