Donald Trump used a nickname for New York's attorney general.
Leading theories claim that peekaboo is either racist or X-rated.
Michael Cohen thinks that Trump has Alzheimer's disease.
Since Donald Trump lashed out at New York's attorney general, there has been a lot of speculation.
Trump had already referred to Letitia James as "racist" for months before she sued him. Social media is wondering if Trump means by this new nickname.
The AG was called a racist by Trump in a Truth Social post.
One of the leading peekaboo nickname-origin theories is X-rated, and the other is deeply racist, according to Michael Cohen.
Cohen thinks his theory is the most likely one.
Is my opinion correct? Cohen said that he has dementia. With the stress on top of him, it's even more important.
Cohen didn't know about the "peekaboo" nickname when contacted by Insider.
He wondered if that was a toy. Isn't that Pikachu?
Cohen wasn't a fan of the X-rated theory, which references some of the more graphic definitions of "peekaboo" from the Urban Dictionary.
Donald Trump doesn't know the Urban Dictionary, according to Cohen. He doesn't know anything about the English language.
Cohen wasn't a fan of the other leading theory, which claimed that Trump was referring to a racist term with a "J", but didn't actually mean it.
Cohen doesn't believe that Trump would use the "J-word" in public.
"Only the blacks could live like this, while being chauffeured through a poor neighborhood in Chicago," Cohen said in his testimony before Congress.
Cohen said there was no chance that Trump would racially slur James.
He thinks that Trump may have been reaching for a metaphor to describe the failed settlement negotiations.
Cohen speculated that Trump believed James had toyed with him as they haggled over a potential dollar figure that could have made the lawsuit go away before it was filed.
Cohen said to let him put it to you. As you listen to Trump speak, you realize that he doesn't have a lot of words. Peekaboo is a hide and seek term.
The failed settlement talks were on Trump's mind after James unveiled her lawsuit, which alleges Trump lied about his worth by billions and seeks $250 million in penalties. According to former prosecutors with the NY AG's office, the lawsuit will go on for a long time.
During a Fox News interview on Wednesday night, Trump said two things that weren't true.
The first thing Trump said was that he expected the case to end. He said he wouldn't have settled because he would have been admitting guilt.
Cohen said that the question of why anyone would settle when they are not guilty is indicative of cognitive impairment.
Cohen was Trump's right-hand man. He sees a man who is coming undone and who appeared stooped and mentally deranged on the show.
A lawyer for Trump didn't respond to a request for advice on the new nickname.
He won't explain it. Cohen noted that he didn't explain covfefe.
He did not know what Trump was thinking. Neither does he.
