Donald Trump's legal mentor was Roy Cohn. Cohn had been Joe McCarthy's hatchet man during the Red Scare, and went on to become one of the most feared litigators in New York. Cohn was the one who taught Trump that it's cheaper to rip off middle class contractors and then sue them than it is to just pay them what's owed. When Trump learned that Cohn was dying of AIDS he cut his old friend off completely

The one and only thing I like about Trump is his ability to draw evil assholes into his orbit, somehow convince them that he would never betray them, and then betray them in a humiliating and painful way
Rudy once publicly humiliated an EMS Lieutenant who was trying to send a child to the hospital. Rudy played it off in the media and acted like he was a hero, when in fact he'd risked the boy's life by forcing the ambulance to divert from the nearest hospital.
Seeing Rudy humiliated is always a pleasure, especially because so many of his wounds are self inflicted.
He got AIDS and his good friend Ronald Reagan did not want anything to do with him. He was the original Log Cabin Republican and he died penniless and alone. The IRS seized all of his assets but that was actually a personal goal of his which seems about right for a Republican: rave rabidly about fiscal responsibility...for everyone but them.
