Summary
This book almost didn’t see the light of day as government officials tried to bar its publication.
The inside story of the real President Trump, by his former attorney and personal advisor - the man who helped get him into the oval office
Once Donald Trump’s fiercest surrogate, closest confidant, and staunchest defender, Michael Cohen knows where the skeletons are buried.
This is the most devastating business and political horror story of the century. As Trump’s lawyer and “fixer”, Cohen not only witnessed firsthand but was also an active participant in the inner workings of Trump’s business empire, political campaign, and presidential administration.
This is a story that you have not read in newspapers, or on social media, or watched on television. These are accounts that only someone who worked for Trump around the clock for over a decade - not a few months or even a couple of years - could know. Cohen describes Trump’s racist rants against President Barack Obama, Nelson Mandela, and Black and Hispanic people in general, as well as the cruelty, humiliation, and abuse he leveled at family and staff. Whether he’s exposing the fact that Trump engaged in tax fraud by inflating his wealth or electronic fraud by rigging an online survey, or outing Trump’s Neanderthal views towards women or his hush-money payments to clandestine lovers, Cohen pulls no punches.
He shows Trump’s relentless willingness to lie, exaggerate, mislead, or manipulate. Trump emerges as a man without a soul - a man who courts evangelicals and then trashes them, panders to the common man, but then rips off small business owners, a con man who will do or say absolutely anything to win, regardless of the cost to his family, his associates, or his country.
At the heart of Disloyal, we see how Cohen came under the spell of his charismatic "Boss" and, as a result, lost all sense of his moral compass.
The real "real" Donald Trump who permeates this audiobook - the racist, sexist, homophobic, lying, cheating president - will be discussed, written about, and analyzed for years to come.

A frightening tale, but one that is fascinating
I listened to this book from start to finish in one go. In many ways the author is responsible for enabling the rise of the man who was to become the 45th President. Like all Karmic outcomes he now knows what it feels like to be used and betrayed by someone he believe would look out for him. Cohen does not ask for forgiveness, or even for you to understand his actions, he is however offering a stark warning about the man we know as Donald Trump, his modus operandi and the lengths he will go to for what he wants.....and the extent of revenge he is willing to inflict to those opposing him

Trump is beyond dangerous
Interesting listen. I doubt it will do much to dissuade Trump supporters but it's important we realise what an insane crook Trump is.

Disturbingly plausible
I expected a self-justifying tirade against Donald Trump, but this book goes far deeper into the current American zeitgeist. There is inevitably the Nuremburg defence of 'only obeying orders', but Cohen plausibly explains how he came under Trump's spell, and confesses to carrying out despicable instructions willingly, and even enthusiastically. Reading this account, it is hard not to see echoes of the Mafia, with unquestioning obedience encouraged by fear or, perhaps mor appropriately, the power of religious cult leaders who exert a coercive charismatic power over their willing acolytes. As the book progresses, Cohen's relationship with Trump begins to look more like Stockholm syndrome, as he accepts abuse without question for the sake of pleasing his 'boss'.
It would be easy to dismiss this version of events as self-justifying fantasy, except that Cohen quotes names, places, times and dates that can easily be checked and which, for the most part, agree with other 'insider' accounts of this period. This, together with a surprisingl lack of adjectival embellishment, lends an uncomfortable plausibility to the disturbing narrative.
Cohen predicts that Trump will never willingly surrender power and that there would not be an orderly transition - a prophecy that, as 2020 draws to a close, is coming true.
This book exposes a side of Trump's character that many have suspected, but which has been largely suppressed by spin doctors and unethical lawyers. More than this, though, it provides a plausible insight into the American political and legal systems. As Cohen suggests in his epilogue, listen to the book and (when emotions have subsided) make up your own mind how much of it is the worrying truth.

I mean, he sucks. But its an interesting listen.
Interesting insight combined with a whole lot of self aggrandizing and self loathing. Weird to say the least.
