Once Again, Trump Takes Words out of the Mouth of his Mentor Roy Cohen

The Roy Cohen in Donald Trump shines through. Journalist Mary Papenfuss writes “In a particularly unhinged rant Friday, former President Donald Trump accused a New York judge of being part of a “Communist takeover” of his Trump Organization.


Trump’s lawyers have failed in their attempt to remove State Supreme Court judge, Arthur Engoron, from the case involving accusations of tax evasion and fraud. Yesterday Trump ranted: Engoron is “vicious, biased and [a] mean ‘rubber stamp’ for the Communist takeover of the great & prosperous American company that I have built over a long period of years.”


The lawsuit was introduced by New York Attorney General Letitia James, (whom Trump mocked by calling her “Peekaboo”) and accuses Trump and three of his children of using inflated company financial statement to mislead lenders in obtaining loans, numbers that were grossly at odds with his tax statements.


James’s response to Trump was: “Claiming money that you do not have does not amount to the ‘Art of the Deal," in reference to Trump’s ghost-written book. “It’s the Art of the Steal.” 


Lier, thief and anti-Communist were three salient features in the career of Trump’s mentor Roy Cohen, Joseph McCarthy’s right-hand man.
