'Trump has 'fixed the game' and Democrats have 'no idea' how to respond: Insider

President Donald Trump has created a new political playing field, and Democrats seem to be struggling to respond, according to one analyst.

Michael Cohen, Trump's former attorney, whom he once described as his "fixer," said on MSNBC's "The Weekend: Primetime" that Trump's ability to survive the Jeffrey Epstein files story shows how Trump has impacted American politics. Cohen argued that Trump's control of the Republican caucus could allow Trump to effectively control how the Epstein saga ends.

The Epstein files are expected to be a topic of intense debate when Congress is back in session in September, according to analysts.

"Trump has fixed the game," Cohen said. "This is not the game that Washington remembers, or even understands. The [Democratic National Committee], they have no idea how to deal with this."

"And so, it's every single day we are going to wake up to more chaos, we're going to wake up to more scenarios that just erode our democratic republic, our norms, until one day we wake up and we don't recognize America any longer," he continued.

Cohen added that Trump's vice grip on the Republican Party has become a weapon that he's using to evade accountability in the Epstein files case.

"Donald Trump controls the House [of Representatives], and Mike Johnson (R-LA) will never allow this on the floor," Cohen said about Republicans voting to release all of the Epstein files. "Whether it's six or eight, Trump's team will reach out to those individuals, and they will figure something out."
