Michael Cohen — who long served as former President Trump’s personal lawyer and fixer — warned Sunday of the potential risk of sending Trump back to the White House with mounting legal fees and financial liabilities.

“We need to be very careful about him as a potential president because he is for sale,” Cohen, now an outspoken critic of the former president, said in an interview on MSNBC’s “The Weekend” on Sunday.

“He needs to figure out where he is going to raise $500-plus million over a short period of time,” Cohen continued.

    Wasn’t Queen Elizabeth II famous for never having gotten a drivers license and refusing to get one? Iirc, she skated by by only ever driving in private roads.

      From her Wikipedia article

      She trained as a driver and mechanic and was given the rank of honorary junior commander (female equivalent of captain at the time) five months later.[34]

        yes, she did do that.

        I was referring to her ever getting a civilian driver license, which I believe she famously refused to do. Of course it never mattered because she never drove herself on public roads.

          She never had a passport, not sure about the driver’s license.

      I believe that she’d essentially be giving herself a license (and passport).

      Also, for a person who is always driven or flown somewhere by very special people,who would need one?

        a driver license and passport are different.

        also, she didn’t need a driver license because she never drove herself except during her military service or on her own properties when/where a license wasn’t required. otherwise, she was always driven.

          I’m thinking if she’s ever asked for a passport she would’ve just taken a napkin, sneezed into it and consecrated it as a valid license “by direct decree of the queen”
