Donald Trump’s ex-lawyer is “out of here” if the former president wins the election in November and heads to the White House.
Trump’s former “fixer” revealed his concern during an MSNBC appearance, telling host Nicolle Wallace on Tuesday that he and others have plenty to fear from a potential win by the Republican nominee who once told his supporters, “I am your retribution.”
Cohen’s fears naturally sparked mockery on social media where one user suggested the clip of his interview on “Deadline: White House” would make a great campaign ad for Trump.

“What do you think happens to you if he wins?” Wallace asked.
“I’m out of here,” Cohen replied. “I’m already working on a foreign passport with a completely different name. I don’t know how it is going to work as far as dealing with my wife and my children. I certainly don’t want them moving to where I’m looking to go.”
“I don’t think you or the president of the MSNBC, Gen. Milley, Liz Cheney are safe. How many people has he turned around and said that these are people that I intend to go after if I have the ability to? And the worst is the Supreme Court’s recent decision that gave him immunity, presidential immunity. Now he thinks it is not only can I do whatever I want, but I can’t even be prosecuted to get out of jail free card,” Cohen claimed.
“So you’re out of here? Would you leave the country?” Wallace asked.
“I have no choice,” said Cohen who was sentenced to three years in prison in 2018 for his role in campaign finance violations related to payments made in the 2016 election.
The idea that he is packing his bags pending a Trump victory in November had social media users entertained.
Please, as if I need another reason to vote Trump! 😂😂😂😂

Did the convicted felon just say he’s working on getting a fake passport on live television?
