This Is It, He Really Hit Rock Bottom

Begging for money online?

What is this guy doing?

Oh, how the mighty have fallen! Michael Cohen, once known as Trump’s go-to lawyer and current Trump backstabber, has now turned to TikTok, of all places, to spill the tea on his former boss while raking in donations with heart emojis and virtual awards. It’s a sight that’s as bizarre as it is cringeworthy.

This new gig on TikTok isn't just odd; it’s sparking some serious facepalms among legal experts and prosecutors. According to them, Cohen livestreaming details about Trump and their shared past is a legal and professional faceplant. Experts told ABC News that this could massively dent Cohen’s already shaky credibility. Picture this: a key witness in a major trial, instead of prepping for court, is busy playing up to the camera and collecting tips online. It's like watching a legal and personal train wreck in slow motion. I mean, just watch the cringe for yourself!

Chris Timmons, a former prosecutor from Georgia, didn’t mince words about it. “I’d be furious,” he said. Imagine being the prosecutor counting on Cohen to deliver key testimony against Trump in the hush money trial involving Stormy Daniels, only to find him turning the whole thing into a TikTok circus. Cohen’s supposed to discuss serious accusations about hush money payments made during the 2016 presidential campaign, not fishing for likes and donations.

It’s not just about the cringe of a former high-profile lawyer turning into a TikTok star; it’s about how these antics could backfire in court. Every time Cohen goes live, he’s unknowingly giving Trump's defense team ammo to question his motives and credibility. They could argue that Cohen’s just in it for the fame and money, which any person with common sense can see!

And let’s be honest, the image of Cohen begging for virtual hearts while discussing presidential scandals is beyond sad. It’s a wild shift from his days as a feared attorney to what feels like a desperate grab for relevance and cash on social media.

As this drama unfolds, Cohen’s trainwreck can only help Trump against these obviously bogus trials. While the prosecutors against must be fuming at Cohen’s antics and nosediving credibility, something tells us this may not even be the lowest Cohen can go, even though he’s obviously already hit rock bottom. Embarrassing.
