The Donald with Michael Cohen

New York, November 24 (RHC)-- Michael Cohen, Donald Trump’s former attorney, says the former Republican U.S. president will not run for the White House again in 2024, because “his fragile ego cannot stand to be considered a two-time loser.”

This is while Trump’s pollster, Tony Fabrizio, thinks he will run for the office again, with a path to victory through five states he lost to Joe Biden in the disputed 2020 election.  The states are Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, The Guardian reported on Tuesday. 

According to official results, Trump lost the five states by narrow margins, but he refuses to accept, claiming that Biden “stole” the election from him with the help of certain elements in the Washington establishment.   

Trump has been casting doubt on the outcome of his loss by insisting it was the result of fraud. He has said that the 2020 presidential election was “the greatest Election Hoax in history.”

Trump’s pollster said a poll carried out for the former president’s fundraising committee put him up over Biden in all five states, by margins ranging from three points in Georgia to 12 in Michigan.  Fabrizio told Politico: “Poll after poll clearly demonstrates that … Trump is still the 800 lb gorilla in the [Republican party] and would be its 2024 nominee should he run.”

“This new data clearly shows that today the voters in these five key states would be happy to return Trump to the White House and send Biden packing.”

Cohen, however, told CNN on Monday, “Donald will not run.”  “Why? Because first of all, he has an incredibly fragile ego.  He lost by 9 million votes the first time [actually a little more than 7 million].  He will lose by more than 9 million the second and his fragile ego cannot stand to be considered a two-time loser."

Cohen pointed to Trump’s political fundraising, which has brought in more than $100 million.   “This is nothing more than the world’s greatest grift,” Cohen said.  “He’s bringing in money greater than when he had the Trump Organization with all of its assets.  So why would you give this up?”

“He will drag this thing on all the way to the end.  I have an original document … whereby he decided not to run in 2011.  And of course, the reasons he talked about was his real estate, it was, you know, The Apprentice and so on,” he added.

“He’s going to do the same thing.  The only difference this time versus last is that he’s making money each and every day by sending out more texts.  ‘Oh, Donald won.  Send $25.’”
