About this ebook
A #1 New York Times Bestseller!
"I read it cover-to-cover. I did not intend to, but I started at the beginning and didn’t put it down until it was over."—Rachel Maddow, MSNBC
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 these pages—the racist, sexist, homophobic, lying, cheating President—will be discussed, written about, and analyzed for years to come.

Disloyal is such a great read; if you thought you had a small understanding of Donald Trump, then read this and you will see just how he operated before and during his presidency. I wish that it had quite a few more chapters to go as I couldn't stop reading it. Michael Cohen has pulled out all the stops to present a 'warts and all' book on Trump. Michael Cohen has done many things for Trump, but I got the feeling that he deeply regrets is previous actions; and he has paid the price for them. A must read, no questions asked.

Wow, Michael Cohen really took the bull by the horns he was used and abused by one of the worlds top leader. Trump may not get everything coming to him but the name he so dearly holds on to is without a doubt tarnished and will always be remembered as evil, selfish, money hungry and ugly for as long as history reminds every generation to come.

A must read. I really appreciated Mr. Cohen's self-reflection and honesty about his own wrongdoings, and insight into Donald Trump. The details he provides about Donald Trump's personality coincides perfectly with things said in Trump sister, Mary Trump's book"Too Much and Not Enough". Personal attorney Michael Cohen and sister Mary Trump would know Donald Trump better than anybody, except his children. Michael Cohen is warning everyone, and we should pay attention.
