The making of a pathological liar, professional credit thief and perpetual failure, tutored by one of the most malignant figures in American political history to be become the MOST malignant figure in American political history.

It wasn’t just Roger Stone, Flynn, Manafort and Putin who made Trump. It was the venal, amoral Roy Cohn, McCarthy flunky to crypto-fascist “fixer” who tutored DJT to project his failings onto others, never accept blame, always lie and never admit failure, defeat or even being wrong.

Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong play Trump and Cohn.

And lest one dismiss this as some quick-and-dirty hit job, note that director Ali Abbasi did the terrific Iranian serial killer thriller “Holy Spider.” The Iranian/Danish filmmaker knows hot button issues and how to make potent, edgy entertainment out of them.
