Cultural Historical Note on Roy Cohn

On 1954, Cohn pressured Senator McCarthy to announce an investigation into prosecuting suspected communists in the U.S. Army, as a means for Cohn to receive special favours that included the waiving of draft orders for the rich hotel chain heir he had a very unhealthy crush on. This became one of the first reality TV events in U.S. history, broadcast to over 20 million viewers and including the nasty smears aimed at Cohn's suspected homosexuality and the total discrediting of his decency. This only fuelled the world-class bully's pathological shame. With his fingers on combined mafia and media networks, it was inevitable that both he and Roger Stone would encounter a crook like Donald Trump and his mobbed-up father. With regard to the future president of the United States, Cohn said that both men were attracted to each other's “crazy”.
Cohn taught Trump to attack, to lie, never apologize, and to create phoney issues and filler in order to change the debate, get off point, and avoid admitting one's own involvement. From his first case settling the Trump Organization's refusal to provide homes for blacks, Cohn taught Trump how to shift the blame and evade the police and justice department.

Cohn was a bridge between the legitimate and illegitimate worlds, someone who believed that if you make enough bullshit appear it will soon stick and become reality.

Cohn is also the likely source of Trump's creepy fake Fire Island tan. He cheated the American people out of more than 7 million dollars in taxes ans was eventually disbarred for stealing from his own clients. He was addicted to sex with young men, including sex workers, and valium. Like most neofacists gays, he adored Nancy Reagan. In 1980, Reagan won the election because Cohn arranged for John Anderson, who had challenged Reagan for the Republican nomination, to be the liberal party nominee. This created a three-way split in New York, allowing Reagan to win the electoral votes with 45 percent of the vote. In exchange for a New York Post endorsement for Reagan, Cohn gave Rupert Murdock a window into the campaign, preparing the way for the special relationship between the ruling echelons and Fox News. Nancy Reagan herself called Cohn to thank him for fixing the election.//
