Trump Biographer: Looks Like the President 'Knows He's Bleeped' and 'Something Is About to Hit the Fan'

American novelist Tim O'Brien — who penned a 2005 biography about Donald Trump — predicted that the president's time will soon be up and he believes the president knows it too.

During MSNBC's Deadline: White House on Wednesday, "TrumpNation" author O'Brien told host Nicolle Wallace that Trump's tweeting habits in recent days suggest he knows a "big shoe" is about to drop.

"You've covered Donald Trump for a long time," Wallace stated. "The daily tweets about no collusion, the daily attacks against Robert Mueller for running a witch hunt... Does it look to you like Donald Trump knows that he's bleeped?"

"I think it definitely looks like he knows he's bleeped," O'Brien responded. "He's cornered and spent a year and a half pointing to the Mueller investigation on a routine basis, nonstop, as being a witch hunt. Anytime he starts tweeting at the investigation or tweeting at the investigators, is usually when there's a big shoe about to drop. He knows in advance that something is about to hit the fan."

The discussion comes just hours after Michael Cohen — Trump's former attorney and personal fixer — was sentenced by a court to three years in prison after he pleaded guilty to multiple crimes, including lying to Congress, campaign finance violations, and tax evasion.

In the past few days, Cohen has denounced the president and his links to the Trump administration, explaining that he only committed the crimes because he "felt it was my duty to cover up his dirty deeds."

"Today is one of the most meaningful days of my life. The irony is that today I get my freedom back," Cohen said in court. "Blind loyalty to this man led me to choose a path of darkness over light."

Cohen was alleged, by federal prosecutors, to have paid off two women during Trump's 2016 campaign after they claimed they had affairs with the then-candidate. This week, the president defended the hush payments as "simple private transactions" that should not be classified as campaign finance violations.

"Democrats can't find a Smocking Gun tying the Trump campaign to Russia after James Comey's testimony. No Smocking [sic] Gun...No Collusion," the president tweeted. "So now the Dems go to a simple private transaction, wrongly call it a campaign contribution, which it was not."

"But it was done correctly by a lawyer and there would not even be a fine. Lawyer's liability if he made a mistake, not me," he added.

Legal analysts discussing the matter have remained divided on whether Trump can, will or should be charged with a crime in relation to the payments.
