A young Donald Trump, eager to make his name as a hungry scion of a wealthy family in 1970s New York, comes under the spell of Roy Cohn, the cutthroat attorney who would help create the Donald Trump we know today. Cohn sees in Trump the perfect protégé—someone with raw ambition, a hunger for success, and a willingness to do whatever it takes to win.

The Man the Myth the Ingrateful Trump
Recommended by William Jeffries
Nous montre à quel point c’est un homme affreux
Bon film sur la jeunesse et la formation de Donald trump. He starts as a kid very insociable but with the help of his mentor (Roy Cohn) he very quickly takes confidence and turn to a very good business man but also way to egocentric. From this point onwards he stops listening to what other people have to advice and becomes the person we know today. He is ready to do everything to get to his goal, even illegal stuff that goes against democracy. Problem with the purpose of his job : for beauty of money ? For America ? Problem with the notion of killers and looser. A killer is not a winner otherwise hitler was also a winner.
