If you are still supporting a 34 times convicted felon, with a long history of fraud and proven ties to organized crime (Australian documented findings), perhaps you should re-think your life choices.

Posted in: Michael Cohen says he stole from Trump's company as defense presses key hush money trial witness See in context
We already knew he was a crook.
From 2018:
...the guilty plea of MICHAEL COHEN to charges of tax evasion, making false statements to a federally-insured bank, and campaign finance violations. The plea was entered followed the filing of an eight-count criminal information, which alleged that COHEN concealed more than $4 million in personal income from the IRS, made false statements to a federally-insured financial institution in connection with a $500,000 home equity loan, and, in 2016, caused $280,000 in payments to be made to silence two women who otherwise planned to speak publicly about their alleged affairs with a presidential candidate, thereby intending to influence the 2016 presidential election.

A proper chair, adjusted correctly is much better for your health. For desk workers, walking at least a couple of miles/kilometers each day can offset sedentary effects of sitting all day. Stairs are even better. Both is best.
