Michael Cohen: Donald Trump's Lawyer

Images of Trump's lawyer, Michael Cohen, on the street make New York life so, so not charming no more. He walks down the street like he's given up on the job market, and doesn't care about the traffic code. 

He walks back into the high-rise with an 'unkempt' umbrella in the middle of the day, sort of, like he's giving up on life, already. 

He's downcast and not truly forward leaning and carries a plastic bag. Hey, we don't do that in Nairobi now. The Kanjoo (or NEMA) will catch you and teach you a thing. Worse, the bag is only a third full and wouldn't feed a hungry and lonesome and not-yet-bald eaglet up the (ill) wind-swept and ransacked loft.

After the Dog Year, Comes the Year of the Pig

The Chinese Lunar Year of the Dog starts on February 16, 2018 (see source). It's "the year of bad luck". President Donald Trump, born in a Lunar Year of the Dog, is thus a Dog. Al Jazeera highlights the fact that Beijing hasn't missed the chance to associate The Dog with The Donald (Watch this video). 

It's a giant Dog with intriguing Donald hair. The video reports further that during last year's two-week celebrations, "around 400 million [people] traveled [home] by train".

I'm more interested in the Pig, not the Dog. It so happens that next year, 2019, will be the Year of the Pig. I'm a Pig. But you don't have to wait till then to know what's cooking for a Pig, right now. Here's how fortune tellers portray, and more specifically tell the 2018 'fortunes' of, People Born in the Year of the Pig. You, a Pig! Muaha.

Donald Trump's Political Brand

Donald Trump's brand of politics is at once 'revivalist' and a throwback. Domestically, it revives Barry Goldwater's extremist slant. It will suffer the same ignominious fate. Locally and globally, it is a throwback to the German politics of the 1920s and 1930s, and thrives on the same xenophobic-myopic and demagogic narratives as history amply remembers. He wants a breathing space for America. He wants to grab, grab, grab -- for America. He has an enthralled and uncritical and all-believing followership ready to be led where EVER. But, as before, fall and winter await him. Hillary, knowingly, fixes to meet him in the grim trenches -- and to fix him.
