    Cohn was also gay, and when he was dying of AIDS Trump dropped him like a hot potato.

    From your same wiki link:

    and according to Seymour’s notes, Trump was the last person to speak to Cohn on the phone before he died in 1986.

    I haven’t found anything that corroborates your statement that Trump “dropped him”.

    I did find this though, which reminds me of South Park; it sounds exactly like Cohn was a customer of CumHammer Brand Management:

    the AIDS Memorial Quilt describes him as “Roy Cohn. Bully. Coward. Victim.”


    Edit: Wait, actually, looking at one of the sources from the Wiki article, there was this bit:

    Bell also doubts that Cohn’s last conversation was with Trump, who, she said, abandoned his lawyer when he found out that Cohn was H.I.V.-positive. “They were so close, they talked at least several times a week,” she said. “And as soon as he found out, he took all his cases away from Roy except for one and got new lawyers. After all they’d been through together.”

    Seymour is Christine Seymour, Cohn’s telephone operator, who listened in on many of his conversations. Bell is Susan Bell, Cohn’s secretary.

        He’ll die someday.

        That’s the best I can do.

        The outcome of this trial will be a positive story involving Trump if that helps.

          I saw a family portrait of him with Melania and Barron from when his son was about six years old. Besides the ugly solid gold wallpaper, the thing that boggled my mind was that his kid was dressed in a little business suit and sitting in a little toy Mercedes luxury car. No space ships or jet planes for this lad.

            Barron Trump turns 18 in March. I’m guessing the press are salivating over it because he’ll finally be fair game and they will all be jumping over each other trying to get an interview to see what he’ll say about his father.

              imho he’s probably the rich kid version of those homeschooled kids whose parents think Obama invented vaccines to destroy the Aryan race.

                Possibly, but he’s also apparently been mostly raised by Melania without Donald’s involvement and we have no idea of the ways she might have been poisoning her son against him.

                  I feel sorry for the kid, because there’s no way he’ll be able to have any kind of normal interaction with anyone. Porn star mom and psycho dad? Uncle/brothers like Eric and Fredo? When Ivanka is the most down to earth person you know…I can’t even complete the sentence.

      Do you mean to tell me that Trump is such a homophobic bigot that he’ll drop his best friend if he finds out he’s gay?

      Shocking.
