During a recent interview with CNN’s Jim Acosta, Michael Cohen, who served as Donald Trump’s longtime fixer and personal attorney, revealed a unique tell for when the former president is lying. According to Cohen, when Trump’s hands start accordion-like movements, it’s a sign that he’s not telling the truth. This physical cue serves as a warning signal for those trying to decipher Trump’s honesty without having to rely on lip-reading.
The conversation between Cohen and Acosta also touched on the ongoing debate between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. Despite disagreements over mic muting protocols, the debate seems to be back on track. Harris’ camp insists on keeping the mics on at all times, while Trump’s campaign prefers them to be turned off during the Sept. 10 debate. Cohen speculated that this request stems from a lack of trust in Trump’s ability to control himself for the full 90 minutes.
According to Cohen, Trump’s reluctance to have the mics on is not just about the debate logistics but also reflects his own awareness of his tendency to interrupt and make impulsive remarks. Trump’s behavior, Cohen suggests, would likely involve continuous interruptions whenever he disagrees with Harris. This lack of self-control could potentially derail the debate and overshadow the substantive discussions.
