You create your own reality. Truth is a malleable thing.
The first rule is: attack, attack, attack.
Rule two: admit nothing, deny everything.
Rule three: no matter what happens, you claim victory and never admit defeat.
— Roy M. Cohn

"I bring out the worst in my enemies and that's how I get them to defeat themselves."
— Roy M. Cohn

"Roy Cohn has managed to stay out of jail all these years, and I admire him for that, and I'd like to have him for my lawyer."
— Gore Vidal [1925-2012]

"The Apprentice" [Rocket Science/ Briarcliff Ent. Oct 2024]   

The story of how a young Donald Trump started his real estate business in 1970s and '80s New York with the helping hand of infamous lawyer and political fixer Roy M. Cohn. Film earned only $150,000 on its first day, despite being in 1,750 theaters. • Donald Trump's 2024 election campaign commented on the movie: "This 'film' is pure malicious defamation, should never see the light of day and doesn't even deserve a place in the straight-to-DVD section of a bargain bin at a soon-to-be-closed discount movie store, it belongs in a dumpster fire." • Trump lost it over 'The Apprentice' film, to the director's delight: If Trump hates it so much it’s probably worth watching. • IMDb credits lists 45 co-producers; co-producer & director Ali Abbasi; co-produced & written by Gabriel Sherman; starring Sebastian Stan {as young Trump}, Jeremy Strong {as Roy M. Cohn [1927-86]}, Maria Bakalova {as Ivana Trump [1949-2022]}, Mark Rendall {as Roger Stone}, Emily Mitchell {as Ivanka Trump}, Martin Donovan, Catherine McNally, Charlie Carrick, Ben Sullivan, Joe Pingue, Jim Monaco, Bruce Beaton, Ian D.
