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

ā€œWe need to be very careful about him as a potential president because he is for sale,ā€ Cohen, now an outspoken critic of the former president, said in an interview on MSNBCā€™s ā€œThe Weekendā€ on Sunday.

ā€œHe needs to figure out where he is going to raise $500-plus million over a short period of time,ā€ Cohen continued.

    Wasnā€™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.

      I believe that sheā€™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 didnā€™t need a driver license because she never drove herself except during her military service or on her own properties when/where a license wasnā€™t required. otherwise, she was always driven.

          Iā€™m thinking if sheā€™s ever asked for a passport she wouldā€™ve just taken a napkin, sneezed into it and consecrated it as a valid license ā€œby direct decree of the queenā€
