“His alternating skills of charming some individuals and riding roughshod over others has earned Donald Trump a reputation in some quarters as someone not to be trusted. He reneged, for example, on a promise to donate to a museum the Art Deco bas- reliefs on the facade of Bonwit Teller’s - bulldozed to make way for Trump Tower. It was a sin deemed unforgivable by landmark preservationists. But the only negative comments about Donald Trump these days are given off the record.”

One of his closest henchmen
At Trump’s right hand before the presidential campaign took over his life was Michael Cohen, a hard-charging attorney and executive vice-president of the Trump Organization, the Death Star of the candidate’s business empire. Cohen, who this week confirmed he was still a registered Democrat, has been minding the shop at Trump Tower in Manhattan as Donald jets around primary states.
The 49-year-old may still be nursing burns from his first steps into the campaign’s harsh spotlight last summer, when he warned a Daily Beast reporter asking about allegations made during Trump’s first divorce to “tread very f[xxx]ing lightly” and threatened to “mess your life up”.
“If you do something wrong, I’m going to come at you, grab you by the neck and I’m not going to let you go until I’m finished,” Cohen once told ABC News. But like his fellow courtiers, Cohen takes his cues from the throne. Trump is known to take direct responsibility for the content of his train-of-thought press releases, his political strategy and, to use one of his favorite words, the “tone” of his quixotic pursuit of the presidency.

Let's elect this guy and give him the FBI, IRS, NSA, and the DOinJ. Oohrah! Don't forget the new powers given the EPA and eminent domain.
The Guardian should not be trusted - it is a British socialist (Labour) newspaper. Funny how Cruzers are getting their talking points from leftist spin meisters.
