As soon as Cohn got sick, Trump threw him under the bus.

Never acknowledges errors, never apologizes, all Trump's troubles thus are self-inflicted.

Trump fits all the biblical descriptions of the man Jesus and the Saints warned us about. 🔥

People are saying, "Roy had a crush on donald"

No morals and no shame. How does someone like this become the President of the United States and what does that say about this society?

[mkline]

I’ve always said that if any Trump supporter wants to discuss Trump with me they first have to tell me the significance of when he said as President, “Where’s my Roy Cohn?”. If they don’t know about Trump’s relationship with Cohn and Cohn’s influence on him, then we really don’t have any business discussing anything about Trump.

“The court of public opinion is more important that the court of law” unfortunately, very true words

" Trump's mental health is now a national and global emergency." Dr Bandy Lee Psychiatrist.
" Donald pisses ice water." Roy Cohn.

It end with a guy saying, "He is all about the fight." Unless one fights back. Then he is the lying, sniveling coward that he has always been.

[zachriley]

Worst and most dangerous CON ARTIST in the world. Time for accountability.

He is not a counter puncher; He is a liar.

[johnhudson]

after reading many books about trump, and watching numerous documentaries, including this one, i firmly believe that Trump today wouldn't be the person he is WITHOUT Roy Cohn. Roy inspired donald to win by any means, never concede or give up and to Fight everyone at every corner. very fascinating.

Who came here with the advice of Japans leader?

[GK-upxz]

It isn’t just Trump who is at fault, it’s the American society that allowed such a man to become celebrated that is shameful

[terrystewart]

WORST THING IS HIS FOLLOWERS THINK HE IS GREAT BECOUSE HE IS CORRUPT AND GETS AWAY WITH IT... THEY LIKE THE CRIMINAL OVER THE COP...

[karlabritfeld]

This country has got some very very very bad people.

[RichardDoker-oppy]

I believe trump learned how to blow a big one from Roy cohn.

[markotrieste]

Why is this information coming out only now? Why not in 2016?

[mr.sandman]
