Is Trump backstabbing Cohen by mentioning this "favor"?

[hexola]

It's weird - amidst Trump running Cohen down with disparaging remarks

He keeps bring up this oddly sentimental moment about the "favor" Cohen did for him.

Even providing a loose time frame of 12-13 years ago.

Its sounds kind of like "look over here!!!"

Revenge?

It seems like a signal.

1. When a rabid dog is cornered, it will strike out.......

Trump is in a corner and he is striking out as a defense move. That walls are crumbling around him, and the desperation is showing. Trump's days are numbered. Those in his inner circle are feeling the pressure.

and you are getting a tad slow and missing the mark, your boxing days are over.

3. Sounds like a threat.

Just like the “he’s not smart” line he was using last week.

5. Cohen: "I will not be the villain for . . . ' [what trump does]. Morning Joe this morning.

6. I think it's his excuse to himself for why the two were tied so closely

Cohen has too much of a history to be dismissed as a 'coffee boy', so Trump has to rationalise their tight relationship as "he did one thing for me a decade ago, and ever since then he's been taking from me".
