    History time!

    Donald Trump’s legal mentor was Roy Cohn. Cohn had been Joe McCarthy’s hatchet man during the Red Scare, and went on to become one of the most feared litigators in New York. Cohn was the one who taught Trump that it’s cheaper to rip off middle class contractors and then sue them than it is to just pay them what’s owed. When Trump learned that Cohn was dying of AIDS he cut his old friend off completely
