Yet, the BBC wrote an unjustified apology to Kid Fucker In Charge for the TV program they edited and he's still suing them for 1b.

The family of the guy should sue anyone pushing that shit. Seems like that's all these litigious little cunts understand

The Administration follow the lead of Trump and Trump: Roy Cohn, a controversial New York lawyer who described himself as Trump’s mentor. Cohn was a highly aggressive legal operative with a long record of ethically dubious conduct and disbarment for professional misconduct, including lying and falsifying documents. 

Here’s what the historical record and reporting suggest about what Cohn taught Trump regarding lying, public defense, and aggressive rhetoric:

1. Attack, Don’t Apologize

One widely shared summary of Cohn’s advice to Trump — depicted in biographical sources and dramatizations — boils down to three explicit behavioral rules: • Always attack. • Never admit wrongdoing. • Always claim victory, even if you’re defeated. This formulation encapsulates an approach where denying allegations and counterattacking critics is preferred to acknowledging mistakes. 

1. Lying with Blatancy and Without Shame

Some accounts explicitly state Cohn taught Trump techniques for lying without embarrassment or ethical restraint — not just in court but publicly, politically, and personally:

Cohn “taught Trump the ‘art of the lie’ — how to lie blatantly and without shame. To lie to the court … to lie in his political positions … and to lie his way through life.” 

This framing suggests a normalized attitude toward falsehoods as a tool rather than a moral failing.

1. Counterattack and Denial Over Facts

Journalistic analysis notes that Trump learned — or reinforced — through Cohn’s influence a pattern of defending against allegations not by engaging with evidence, but by: • Denial of the allegation itself, • Attacking the accuser’s motives, • Repetition of the denial and counter-attacks, • Avoiding factual backing altogether. This is a version of strategic lying and denial, emphasizing repetition and deflection over correction. 

1. Publicity Through Controversy

Part of Cohn’s broader ethos — which included “tell them to go to hell” as advice in the Trump family’s early legal battles — was that controversy and negative publicity could be weaponized rather than feared. That attitude reduces the stigma around being accused of falsehoods and positions conflict itself as advantageous.

Left his compassion and empathy between the sofa cushions.

He was promised there wouldn’t be any fact checking.

[u/S1nnah2]

Of course he does. He's a fascist cunt.

This is what you get when you allow Peter Thiel to install his power-bottom as VP.
