Trump's best friend when he was starting out was Roy Cohn. Cohn had a reputation as the most vicious lawyer in New York. Cohn got his start as Sen. Joe McCarthy's attack dog, and he never put down the knife. Cohn was the one who taught Trump that it was cheaper to stiff a small business and drag thme through the courts instead of paying what you owed.
When Cohn was diagnosed with AIDS, and uncloseted as a gay man Donald dropped him completely.
Cohn also taught Trump to always claim victory even if you lose and to never apologize for anything ever.
Maybe he also taught Trump how to suck Bubba.
Crazy that he would drop him for being gay and then go around giving Clinton gobbies
Or a horse
I pointed this out in his first term. He is the only president in my memory that didn't walk into the office with a full team of their own advisors and staff members. He shows up with basically nobody but his employees and a bunch of random GOP back benchers because the dude has been in business for half a century without accumulating a single trusted business partner or even a couple of friends. Literally nobody likes this guy.
Funny how when you have a reputation for fucking over every person you make a contract with, no one wants to be around you.
I’d feel sad for him if he wasn’t such a repellent sack of shit.
He was also good friend with Bill Clinton.... Who he just used as a cover in the Epstein files release.... He didn't think that through did he.
I recently watched a couple of videos from celebrities who met Donald Trump back in the day. To make a short story even shorter, they said that in private, Trump simply won't stop talking, and the only thing he wants to talk about is himself.
I know that we've all seen him act like that, and we probably assumed he was just always like that, but if he won't even show the slightest interest in a big celebrity because he's too busy talking about himself, then that's more evidence that he's just always like that.
And to tie it back to the topic, a person who acts like that cannot possibly make any actual friends. It's difficult to imagine that anybody in the world has ever actually thought of Donald Trump as a personal friend. He's just a guy who is tolerated because you think you can get some money out of him.
I mean, he used to be tight with Dennis Rodman, right? What happened there?
Was this somehow as a result of The Apprentice? I feel like he developed some “friends” out of that show. Like what was her name, Omarosa or something?
Yup, Omarosa Manigualt-Newman. She had her own roller coaster ride with Trump since 2016. Here's a few excerpts from her Wikipedia page:
In December 2016, Newman was announced as one of nine additional members to Trump's presidential transition team. Unlike the rest of President Trump's inner circle appointments, Omarosa didn't have any roots in the Republican party or otherwise conservative or right wing activism.
On January 3, 2017, it was reported that Newman would join Trump's White House staff, focusing on public engagement. Her specific title was made public the next day as assistant to the President and director of communications for the Office of Public Liaison.
On December 13, 2017, the White House announced Newman's resignation, effective January 20, 2018... CNN White House correspondent April Ryan reported that White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly fired Newman, but she disputed the account, stating that she resigned. But Newman had secretly taped her firing, and gave the tape to Chuck Todd to play on his NBC program Meet The Press on August 12, 2018.
Newman wrote a book deeply critical of Trump titled Unhinged, which went on sale on August 14, 2018, in which she labels Trump a racist, and states that witnesses have confirmed the existence of tapes of Trump repeatedly using the word "n*****" during the filming of The Apprentice.
Wait. That says Omarosa secretly gathered the evidence that Omarosa was lying and released it?
Reading the Epstein letter that was released today I realized that they both have a fondness for creepy pedo-puns. It's like a sick form of Vogon poetry. Referring to trump's birthday card bragging about raping underage girls as enigmas / their little secret
What did the Vogons ever do to you to deserve such contempt?
I mean they did blow up earth...
Understandable. Have you seen how people are?
They did post a notice at Alpha Centauri.
I will always think of this quote when I see "leopards eating faces" even though it's unrelated
But I've never been to Alpha Centauri!
Typical.
It's only four lightyears away...If you don't take an interest in local matters...
Whoopsie daisy? 🤷♂️
I know this might be a bit controversial, but it seems to me that Epstein was a better person than Trump is.
I don't think he was Trump's friend.
I also think Osama bin Laden was a better person than Trump is. That's probably not as controversial though.
Some of the bits of the Epstein emails I've seen made it clear that some of his friends were really just people who turned to him for validation and occasionally favors. Almost gets me to feel a little bad for the guy
That might be true, but also so far down the cesspool that I don't care to measure it.
By the mark... Twain!

I mean, he was also very close to Roy Cohn. Another, but differently prodigious monster
