Donald Trump the Victim of a Mob Boss’s influence.

Donald Trump the victim is a difficult possibility for most people to accept. Nevertheless, an argument can be made that his father was a poor role model and even worse parent. when it came to being a role model and showing affection to his family. The American singer – songwriter, Woody Guthrie wrote the lyrics to the song, “Old Man Trump.” It describes the racist housing practices and discriminatory rental policies of his landlord, Fred Trump, father of President Trump.

Fred Trump was arrested at a Klu Klux Klan parade in 1927, in 1954 he was investigated for windfall gains and profiteering, 1973 the Justice Department filed a civil rights lawsuit against him and in 1975 a Consent Decree was signed that required him to be fair to minorities both for renting and employment.

It’s impossible to know what kind of father Fred Trump was to President Trump. However, given his professional career and controversies, it’s within the realm of possibility that he had an overly aggressive personality. At the very least, it’s safe to say that he was singularly focused on business and probably emotionally distant.

Roy Cohn, Donald Trump’s replacement father figure.

Roy Cohn, a prominent and controversial figure in American politics during the mid-20th century, had a significant influence on Donald Trump. Born into a wealthy Jewish family in New York City, Roy Cohn was known for his aggressive legal tactics and his role as chief counsel to Senator Joseph McCarthy during the Army–McCarthy hearings. His involvement with Trump began in 1973 when he represented Trump and his father Fred Trump against charges of racial discrimination at their apartment complexes. This early connection between Cohn and Trump laid the groundwork for a mentor-mentee relationship that would span over a decade, until Cohn’s death. Leading some to consider Roy Cohn as a father figure to Donald Trump.

Donald Trump was greatly influenced by Roy Cohn’s approach to business and politics. Cohn was known for his aggressive tactics and ability to navigate complex legal systems, which often involved skirting the edges of legality. This influence is evident in Trump’s own business practices and political strategies. For instance, Trump’s use of bankruptcy as a tool to restructure debt, his propensity for litigation, and his combative approach to negotiations, all echo Cohn’s modus operandi.

The influence of Roy Cohn on Donald Trump’s behavior can be traced through several aspects of Trump’s public persona. One notable feature is Trump’s penchant for bravado and self-promotion, which mirrors Cohn’s own flamboyant personality. Another aspect is the ruthless pursuit of success and a willingness to push boundaries, a trait that was characteristic of Roy Cohn’s legal career.

Even when things started going south for Roy Cohn, Trump was there. He testified as a character witness in his disbarring trial, he threw the dying man a dinner party and he attended his funeral. People argue that Trump dumped him, moving his business dealings to other lawyers. But with Cohn’s head out of the game for more pressing matters, mostly his failing health, that action was simply business. A decision the unscrupulous man might have advised himself.

Legal Representative who made his own rules

Roy Cohn was also allegedly involved in some controversial activities with Donald Trump. One such example is the alleged involvement of both men in organized crime circles in New York. No doubt, Roy Cohn was connected. Cohn is quoted as saying, “I don’t want to know what the law says. I want to know who the judge is‘. One look at his fast paced career is enough to know that he surrounded himself with powerful people. He garnered a reputation for being made of Teflon, a moniker later used in relation to Trump.

While no definitive evidence links them directly to criminal acts together, Roy’s other associations, bring into question the company that Trump continuously keeps. Mr. Cohn’s intelligence connections both in the US and the UK, made him capable of enjoying the company of hand picked male juveniles. These boys, like Richard Kerr were orphans trafficked within a system that was supposed to protect them. Kerr’s story is not isolated. Most of the boys whom he grew up with ended their lives tragically when no help could be found.

“Admit nothing, deny everything” is the second of three core “rules of winning” attributed to Roy Cohn. Who, even while dying of AIDS, insisted he had cancer and was not homosexual. Back to his tragic relationship with Kerr. The boy was whisked off to exotic locations, and received expensive gifts, not only from Cohn, but many of his associates. His existence as a submissive sexual tool continued into adulthood, where silence and endurance meant sharing the comforts of the wealthy and staying alive.

It is easy to see Epstein as the heir apparent to Cohn when it comes to Trump’s social life. Both men threw lavish parties, both men had intelligence contacts, both men blackmailed others for their sexual proclivities. Both men could make things happen, and knew how to pay off or pressure the right people to achieve their goals. Don’t believe that just because we only hear of females in the Epstein files, that there were no young boys being used. Reality is that homosexual trafficking is rather more uncomfortable for the public to digest. So it operates more underground, making case building even harder.

1970s Culture of Sexualization

The 1970s were a time when there was an active battle of the sexes. There were no age restrictions on films, so many titillation movies were made and circulated in movie theaters. Sex, drugs and rock-n-roll was the mantra of the youth. This more permissive attitude towards sex was also affected by the availability of birth control. Furthermore, the general public had a much more permissive attitude towards adult-minor relationships.

“Old enough to bleed is old enough to breed” was said by many in the 1970s and 1980s. The legal age of consent was approximately 16 in most states. But once a girl turned 13, she was considered “Fair Game.” To make the situation worse, many parents and authorities helped validate this exploitative attitude, by not getting involved until someone was truly physically harmed. It’s been said that there are many reasons that Generation X is so silent and removed. A major reason was that many were preyed upon and abused by Boomers.

This permissiveness was not without controversy. As it also reflected a society where women’s rights were still evolving, and power dynamics between genders were often unequal. As sexual attitudes changed, women started fighting to have legal protections. Rape trials were often seen as worse than the act, since the girl’s reputation would be put on trial. So statutory rape cases represented only the most extreme (very young) and/or violent cases. It wasn’t like today, when callous words can get someone fired. Then sexual assault did not include an uncomfortable touch. And in situations where coercion or compensation was offered, acceptance was the same as consent, regardless of age. This was the environment of America when Trump first met Cohn in 1973, and the prevailing attitude behind the scenes as the mentor and his protege continued their friendship.

Why Trump doesn’t believe he did anything wrong

Donald Trump’s alleged interactions with minors, raise questions about the extent to which these sexual attitudes of the 1970s influenced his behavior. Indeed, if the females he encountered, regardless of age, were swooning at his attention, he would believe himself innocent. Men were able to get off of rape convictions up into the 90s, simply if the girl was shown to have a questionable reputation. Trump very likely has a history of women throwing themselves at him hoping to win his favor. He is wealthy and powerful, a hefty aphrodisiac for many women.

It’s the perfect psychological storm for the creation of Donald Trump’s psyche. Being a millionaire Playboy was an aspiration, not an insult. Couple this with his tutelage under a mobster, President Trump believes he’s supposed to see how far he can push any situation. And he measures his successes by how much he can get away with. In business, this type of ruthlessness never won any true friends and in the sexual department it’s recipe for a reputation as a predator.

It’s important to note that while Roy Cohn and Donald Trump shared a mentor-mentee relationship, their individual actions and beliefs should not be conflated. President Trump is still responsible for his actions. Bad parentage and bad influences are have never been an acceptable excuse for bad behavior. However, understanding the factors attributing to his development, shine light on the larger than life aggressive behemoth that he has become.

Donald Trump’s tactics are obviously mostly patterned on Cohn. His combative political strategies, and potentially even in some of the more controversial aspects of his personal conduct. Not all Baby Boomers are sexual predators, but the majority of people who have a mob-boss mentality, also tend to be aggressively selfish, including their pursuit of sex.

It’s the public’s prevailing 1970s attitude that excuses Donald Trump’s predatory behavior. But with Roy Cohn’s influence added, President Trump is better suited at being a thug than a statesman. Even if it becomes clear that he’s had sex with minors, he’ll never repent and the damage he’s done to the United States will take decades to repair.
