The former Trump ally-turned-critic detailed his experience, alleging that he was punished for refusing to comply. “An hour later three of the biggest marshals you have seen in your life showed up, handcuffed, shackled me, put me in a freezer and sent me back to solitary confinement in Otisville for another 16 days,” Cohen recalled. He added that he was released only after his lawyer filed a habeas corpus petition.
However, Cohen now believes that if Trump returns to power, such legal safeguards might no longer exist. “The problem is that petition is no longer valid if in fact Trump wins, and he does exactly what he says he will do, rewrite the Constitution. And he is going to destroy our tripartite system, get rid of the judiciary and get rid of the Congress,” Cohen warned.
Cohen’s dire predictions didn’t stop there. He painted a grim picture of what he believes a second Trump presidency would mean for America, likening it to regimes infamous for their disregard for democratic norms and human rights. “I can’t believe this is the America that we are talking about. This is something you see in Russia. This is something you see in Saudi Arabia, something you see in North Korea, in China. You don’t see this in the United States of America,” he lamented.
In one of his most alarming assertions, Cohen suggested that Trump would demand absolute loyalty from those in his administration. “That’s the type of government that this man is going to run. Especially when he turns around and says he wants loyalty oaths taken and given to him by every single person in his administration. There will be no guardrails,” Cohen explained.
This isn’t the first time Cohen has made extreme predictions about Trump’s potential return to power. Back in June, Cohen suggested that Trump would go as far as assassinating his political enemies, following the example of Russian President Vladimir Putin. He had even mentioned the method: throwing individuals out of windows, which has been used by the Kremlin to deal with dissent.
Last month, Cohen took his concerns even further, expressing fear for his personal safety. He indicated that if Trump wins the election, he would have to flee the country. “I’m out of here,” he said, adding that he is already preparing for such an eventuality. “I’m already working on a foreign passport with a completely different name. I don’t know how it is going to work as far as dealing with my wife and my children. I certainly don’t want them moving to where I’m looking to go.”

Cohen’s statements have sparked intense debate, with some viewing them as hyperbolic while others see them as a legitimate warning. His history with Trump, his legal troubles, and his role in the inner workings of Trump’s administration lend his words a certain weight, but they are also met with skepticism from those who view him as an unreliable source.
Whether or not Cohen’s predictions come to pass, his claims raise questions about the future direction of American politics and the role that Trump might play if he returns to the White House. For now, his words serve as a reminder of the deep political divisions and concerns that continue to shape the national conversation.
