Has it ever concerned you what President Donald Trump means by “good?”
Gen. Michael Flynn was a “good” guy—who lied to his government. Vladimir Putin is considered a “good” man, and this is a man who has his political enemies killed or imprisoned. Paul Manafort is a “good” man, possibly because he worked for nothing. Michael Cohen was a “good” man, until he was arrested—now, supposedly, he does only a tiny portion of legal work for Trump.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions was a “good” man, until he recused himself from the Russia investigation. To this day, I don’t think Trump understands why Sessions had to recuse himself. Maybe he will figure it out when the new head of the Southern New York FBI must recuse himself from the Cohen investigation, since he met with Trump before his appointment.
I’ve come to conclude that “good” has the same connotation to Trump as “made” had with the Mafia.
