Donald Trump as a victim is a narrative many reject. Yet his rise was shaped by an emotionally distant father, Fred Trump, and the ruthless mentorship of Roy Cohn. In 1970s America—an era marked by aggressive business tactics, blurred legal ethics, and permissive sexual norms—power was learned through dominance, not restraint. To understand Trump’s methods, one must examine the culture and figures that molded him.
