Roy Cohn taught Trump to never admit you’re wrong, never apologize, and always attack.
Nearly fifty years later, Trump is still following that script, and we’re all worse off because of it. www.cnn.com/2026/07/31/p...

Prosecutors admitted the damage came from a “hasty and botched” $14 million renovation, not vandalism, and acknowledged they would never have sought Hearn’s indictment if they had been given the facts from the start.
Trump’s response?
“I disagree 100%… it was a pure case of VANDALISM.”
Then Jeanine Pirro, hardly known for being skeptical of Trump, reviewed the evidence and reached the opposite conclusion.
Trump’s own Justice Department just exposed one of his biggest lies.
For weeks, Trump insisted “vandals” destroyed the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. His administration arrested Americans, including 67-year-old U.S. Olympian David Hearn, based on that claim.
This is your daily reminder that Trump and Republicans are spending billions of your tax dollars on an unauthorized war in Iran and Stephen Miller’s ICE agenda while gutting Medicaid, slashing SNAP, and driving up your health care costs.
The Constitution is clear that the executive spends what Congress approved, for the purpose Congress approved. Nothing more, nothing less.
What happened to stopping waste, fraud and abuse?

The most recent assessment said we needed 4 or 5 ships. We are buying 11.
It’s yet another example of Trump disregarding Congress altogether and Republicans doing nothing to stop him. This is not how our system is supposed to work.
Finnish shipyards build some of the finest icebreakers in the world.
These are specially built ships designed to force a path through frozen ocean.
Then came a late night phone call from Trump, and suddenly the US was buying more than double the icebreakers the Coast Guard said it needed.
Finland’s leader handed Trump a framed picture of an icebreaker at a golf tournament last year.
I’m not trying to pick on Finland, a beautiful country and a genuine friend to the United States.
$7 billion more in no-bid contracts personally approved by Trump, with no approval from Congress. By the time lawmakers found out, the deal was announced and the companies were already celebrating. One of them is run by a CEO who gave $1.7 million to Republicans.
How did this happen?
This is not the standard of accountability we should expect from someone entrusted with the presidency.

The public deserves to know why hundreds of Trump-linked accounts were closed, why so much of the record remains under seal, and whether a sitting president’s personal financial interests are influencing the exercise of public power.
When a president’s private business disputes and public authority begin to overlap, everyone should pay attention.
We’ve seen this pattern before. In 2019, during his first term, Trump sued Capital One and Deutsche Bank to block them from complying with congressional subpoenas seeking his records.
The banks say they acted for legitimate business and compliance reasons. The courts will decide those cases.
What is not in dispute is that while these lawsuits are pending, Trump is using the power of the presidency to push regulators toward policies that make it harder for banks to take action.
There is a separate lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase involving accounts it also closed during roughly the same period. Trump says the banks engaged in politically motivated debanking.
Instead, it surfaced in a federal court filing on a Friday afternoon and is being largely forgotten by Monday.
And it wasn’t just one bank.
If any other president’s businesses had hundreds of bank accounts terminated after an anti-money-laundering review by one of the nation’s largest banks, it would dominate the news cycle.
The Trump Organization had roughly 385 accounts closed by Capital One after the bank’s anti-money-laundering team spent months reviewing them.
Imagine the reaction if this involved any other prominent political family.
They had the votes.
They gave them away for tweets.
They will live to regret the day they empowered Trump’s new Roy Cohn.
They are handing the machinery of federal law enforcement to Trump’s personal defense lawyer, the new Roy Cohn, on the strength of paper that may not bind him at all.
When Blanche uses that power the way his whole record says he will, they will not be able to say they did not see it coming.
