George Conway compares Roy Cohn's influence on Donald Trump to a mentor relationship

George Conway, former Republican insider and ex-husband of political commentator Kellyanne Conway, spoke in an interview with Katie Couric about the formative influence of Roy Cohn on Donald Trump. Conway described Trump as inherently sociopathic but emphasized that Cohn acted as a mentor, shaping Trump's approach to politics and business. Drawing a Star Wars analogy, Conway referred to Cohn as the 'senior Sith Lord' who trained the 'junior Sith Lord,' Trump. Cohn, a notorious mob lawyer and political fixer, was known for his ruthless tactics and dishonesty, qualities Conway says Trump adopted. The interview highlighted Cohn's infamous advice: if a lie is repeated often enough, people will start to believe it—a principle Conway argues Trump internalized. Couric prompted the discussion while exploring Trump's history of dishonesty, with Conway asserting that Trump's behavior is largely modeled after Cohn's methods. This perspective sheds light on the long-standing influences behind Trump's public and political persona, offering context for understanding his approach to power, communication, and manipulation within American politics.

They know all this.

Their attorneys have already advised.

This is just the kind of tactic we see from Jeffrey Epstein’s files: inviting powerful people to witness and/or participate in something illegal or taboo and thereby make them complicit. This is the same as inviting people to a sex island, or a ranch.

Now Estee and Joe’s son Ron Lauder—a close friend of Bibi Netanyahu—has been advising Donald Trump to take over Greenland. Another person working to annex Greenland is Ambassador to Denmark Ken Howery—yet another co-founder of PayPal.

Once you’re in the Slime, you’re in.

Israel Bonds

As a last throwback to the Slime’s legacy and influence, in January 1983, Roy Cohn was given an official audience with Ronald Reagan in the Oval Office—with Rupert Murdoch. A few months later, there was an event to raise money for Israel in New York: the B’nai B’rith Banking & Finance Lodge and Banking & Finance Division of State of Israel Bonds Testimonial Dinner for Roy Cohn.

Three of the Honorary Chairmen at the Dinner:

Ace Greenberg
Rupert Murdoch
Donald Trump

Seventy or so years ago during the negotiations that led to the Austrian State Treaty the issue of the control and ownership of oilfields in the zone then occupied by the #Sovietunion came up. These had been seized as #enemyproperty in 1945. The #us successfully insisted that they be returned to the ownership of the Austrian state, That was the #us that once commanded moral respect and possessed soft power - despite the best efforts of people like #roycohn . What a contrast!
