Trump, Wheres my Roy Cohn? aka Trump, I need a mafia lawyer.

Can you imagine the shit storm we would have had if President Clinton or Obama
had said he needed a mob lawyer to be his A.G.?

Roy Cohn was a really vile piece of shit and he was Trump's buddy too.

“Where’s my Roy Cohn?” the president demanded in March, calling on his former personal lawyer who once served as Senator Joseph R. McCarthy’s chief counsel into the 1950s-era communist investigations, according to The New York Times.

Because I had no idea who Roy Cohn is, and I am fairly literate and pay attention to the news. I think Trump can't remember his name without cue cards. I guess, on the other hand, of all people Trump might remember, seems like this would be one.
