Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s former “fixer,” is warning that the president may not be joking when he hints about wanting to stick around for more than two presidential terms.
During an interview on MSNBC, host Rachel Maddow asked Cohen if he has seen a change in Trump over the years.
“Is he — has that changed over time? Is he the same person when he speaks now that you recognize from your time working with him for all those years?” Maddow asked.
According to Cohen, a lot has changed about Trump since he became president and the powers that have come with the presidency have also fueled a desire for unlimited power.
“He’s not the same person that I knew going back years ago,” he claimed. “He was always gruff. He was always a certain way, but the power that he now has has gone to his head. He wants to be an autocrat. He wants to be the president of this country for life.”
He also insisted Trump admires the leadership of dictators and has a desire to become one, himself.
Cohen continued, “He wants to be just like Putin, just like Kim Jong-un, just like Maduro, he wants to be just like Mohammed bin Salman.”

Since the former attorney claimed Trump does not have a sense of humor, he insisted that he typically means everything that he says.
