Trump blames Cohen testimony for failed deal with North Korea

President Trump on Sunday blamed the congressional testimony of Michael Cohen, his former personal lawyer and fixer, for the collapse in negotiations with North Korea over its nuclear program last week — continuing to vent about the investigations encircling him and his associates.

During seven hours of testimony on Wednesday, Cohen said that Trump manipulated financial records and that the now-president knew in advance about WikiLeaks’ efforts to release damaging information about his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, during the 2016 campaign, among other allegations.

The testimony unfolded as Trump had traveled to Hanoi to try to forge a deal with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un over curbing his country’s nuclear program.

Although Trump, while in Vietnam, said he walked away from the nuclear summit with Kim because of a disagreement about economic sanctions on North Korea, he gave another explanation for the failure of the talks on Twitter on Sunday evening.

6. Unbelievable. And I'm sure Mueller is responsible for his two failed marriages.

It's probably Cohen's fault because he spent more time watching the hearing than he spent with Kim.

So, he was unwilling to trust the liar, conman and loser?

for that little light bulb in his head to go on, and think 'Maybe I am not very good at this POTUS lark?'

Until then, it's someone else to blame. Damn, the Human Race is so Horrible to Trump!
(Please, keep the nuclear football away from him!)

15. His bone spurs prevented him sealing the deal

Plus his dog ate his homework, and that's why he's never had a dog, and he was under investigation by the IRS, and a big boy came up and ruined the negotiations and then ran away, and the Mexicans were going to do the negotiations but they didn't send their best people, and he moved like a bitch on Kim but he wasn't impressed by the furniture, and he only hires the best people, but they only make the coffee, and he's never talked to them, and believe me, they're all the worst.

[Achilleaze]

16. The party of "personal responsibility" is such a hypocritical joke

They always blame others for their failures.

[Cold War Spook]

19. He spent 2 days in Vietnam,

There are 7.7 billion people on the planet. Given enough time, trump will blame every one of them for his failures.
