Welp, look who’s back in the news.
I reported on Friday about the continued decline of Michael Cohen, a one-time personal lawyer of former President Donald Trump. In a nutshell, Trump Derangement has so ravaged Cohen’s bitterly obsessed mind that he continues to publicly embarrass himself in absurd — yet hilarious — ways.
For example, as I covered in a Friday article, Cohen appeared on Thursday’s episode of MSNBC’s “Deadline” to warn that if Trump wins the presidential election, he will do “exactly what he says he will do … rewrite the Constitution. And he is going to destroy our tripartite system, get rid of the judiciary, and get rid of the Congress.”
A crazed brain? You make the call.

On Monday, Cohen was embarrassed again — or should have been — when the Supreme Court rejected without comment his bid to revive his lawsuit against Trump for allegedly “retaliating” against him by sending him back to prison.
Cohen had written in his petition to the high court:
Presidents are not kings. This case represents the principle that presidents and their subordinates can lock away critics of the executive without consequence. That cannot be the law in the country the Founders thought they created when they threw off the yoke of the monarch.
Following the SCOTUS rejection, Trump attorney Alina Habba told Fox News Digital in a statement:
Michael Cohen has exhausted every avenue of his pathetic attempt to drag my client into court time and time again. As expected, the Supreme Court has correctly denied Michael Cohen’s petition and he must finally abandon his frivolous and desperate claims.
Cohen said of his rejected lawsuit in July:
The Constitution is the bedrock of our democratic republic and is what makes America the beacon of the world. To have a President weaponize the DOJ … is how autocracies are created.
Predicted spoiler: Hell will freeze over before Cohen abandons his “frivolous and desperate claims.” The bitter dude will continue to try to do as much damage to Trump as possible, which so far is zero.
After serving three years in prison, Cohen was released to home confinement when the COVID pandemic hit, during which time he posted to social media about a forthcoming book about his experiences working with Trump.
However, his release was short-lived; during a meeting with probation officers in July 2020, Cohen said he was asked to sign a form that prohibited him from engaging with the media or posting to social media. When he refused to sign such an agreement, back to prison he went.
Here’s more:
Cohen was sentenced to 36 months in prison and began serving that sentence in May 2019 at a federal correctional facility in New York.
The court’s decision to turn away Cohen’s appeal leaves intact a lower court ruling that tossed out the lawsuit based on a 2022 Supreme Court decision that limited citizens’ ability to seek monetary damages from federal officials over constitutional violations.

Cohen served as one of Trump’s closest legal advisers and was known as his longtime “fixer” before becoming one of the former president’s loudest opponents in 2018, when he pleaded guilty to multiple felonies and implicated Trump in a “hush money” scheme intended to conceal damaging information before the 2016 election.
Meanwhile, Trump Derangement Syndrome lives on.
