The following link below "Michael Cohen and the End Stage of the Trump
Presidency" written by Adam Davidson of The New Yorker is a
wonderful read and one which I suspect you will not be able to put down.
It is a riveting story of a war costing trillions, hundreds of thousands
dead and millions of refugees as Americans watched the Fourth of July
like fireworks from the peace of their living room when about the only
thing made in America blew up the Middle East. 17 years later Americans
still fight the so called Mission Accomplished war.
In 2007 most knew the economy was in free fall and that the planned machinations of Wall Street sent it there. The price was paid by you and me, the middle Americans, while those CEO's of the corporate banking system who perpetrated it laughed all the way to their respective banks flush with American taxpayer bailout cash and bonuses stuffed in their pockets.
In 2016 a man says he is a brilliant billionaire success story and that he is the only one who can make all the wrong things right, drain the swamp and we all know, too, because he said it that it's the "other" who put us there so he will build a bright shiny impenetrable wall that Mexico will pay for and keep those law breaking undocumented brown men and women out. He will prevent all those from Muslims lands from coming over here as well. Only he can make it all okay. And so again Americans in their insipid naivete decided they loved the pumped up chest of the seemingly quintessential alpha male, Donald J. Trump, even though they knew about his sullied reputation of less than honest business practices but hey businessmen have to conduct some things on the shady side of the street so they did not care. The question becomes why do Americans know something is wrong but simply do not care until it is too late.

Read
the link below "Michael Cohen and The End Stage of the Trump
Presidency" and weep as we watch the end game of the most corrupt, most
immoral, most seamy, most unethical presidency to ever occupy a space in
American history comes to its end and again ask why Americans remain
willfully ignorant of that which is right in front of their collective
noses but do not care.
The question will in the end be can we pull a rabbit out of a hat and right the ship of state. One thing I believe is true as Betty Davis said in her famous line in the film "All About Eve": " Fasten your seat belts. It's going to be a bumpy night."
