'I believe that he would even go so far as to start a war in order to prevent himself from being removed from office. My biggest fear is that there will not be a peaceful transition of power in 2020.'

Cohen pleaded guilty in 2018 to charges that he lied to Congress about Trump's plans for a project in Moscow that was under discussion even during the 2016 presidential election. He also pleaded guilty to breaking campaign finance laws over the payments to Daniels and said at the time Trump authorized those payments.

In addition to helping with the Russian development, Cohen writes that"I stiffed contractors on his behalf, ripped off his business partners, lied to his wife Melania to hide his sexual infidelities, and bullied and screamed at anyone who threatened Trump’s path to power." The president routinely disparages millions of Americans, according to Cohen, particularly Hispanics and African Americans – also people who helped him get elected. "The cosmic joke was that Trump convinced a vast swath of working-class white folks in the Midwest that he cared about their well-being," Cohen writes, according toCohen's work is the latest in a run of books about the president. Just this summer has seen former National Security Adviser John Bolton said in a book that Trump is self-dealing in foreign policy, such as asking Chinese leader Xi Jinping to but more U.S. agricultural products to help his re-election campaign.saying he was scarred by his father and developed habits of lying and self-deception that shadowed him into the White House. There have also been pro-Trump books. Former White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders' memoir will also be published Tuesday. Also coming out Tuesday: Ex-FBI agent Peter Strzok, a former F.B.I. deputy assistant director of counterintelligence who, according to his publisher, "grapples with a question that should concern every U.S. citizen: When a president appears to favor personal and Russian interests over those of our nation, has he become a national security threat?" Future Trump books include a new one by Bob Woodward, the investigative reporter who made his name during the Watergate scandal; Andrew Weissmann, an assistant to Special Counsel Robert Mueller during the Russia investigation; and Rick Gates, a former campaign official who testified during Mueller's probe.
