Trump wanted to fire Cohen in 2009, but kept him on...AT HALF SALARY! #TooMuchWinningPleaseStop

[Miles Archer]

According to the report, in 2009 Trump convened a meeting to discuss the dismissal of Cohen with the intent of asking him to resign from his job with the Trump Organization.

A Trump company aide who spoke with the Journal, said Trump had become disenchanted with Cohen’s work but didn’t want to fire him because he liked him personally. Noting that Cohen didn’t seem to be getting work done, Trump reportedly blurted, “What’s he doing here?”

The report states that word got back to Cohen who “grew visibly upset,” and promised, “I will try to prove myself.”

Unable to pull the trigger and boot Cohen from the organization, Trump reportedly relented — but slashed Cohen’s pay to half of the $400,000 he was making at the time.

2. So his pay was slashed to only $200,000?

Wow, how was he able to survive?

3. Yeah sure

Saw this documentary on Twitler on Netflix. Cohen was there all the time by his side. If he wanted to fire he he’d be gone.

Another lie from the master liar in the White House.

5. Cohen was his link to middle of the pack Russians with money

Many of Trump's properties are designed specifically to appeal to Russians. One in Florida (Miami I think) has street signs in Russian.

Cohen was his launderer.

4. Well, please make sure Mr. Cohen doesn't see this article today, because it could demoralize him and

...oh wait

6. Does that take into account the grift he was charging for 'access' to Trump?

Perhaps as a 'tipped' employee, Trump decided it was justified to lower his base salary.
