Chronology
The story of how a young Donald Trump started his real estate business in 1970s and 1980s New York with the help of infamous lawyer Roy Cohn. Roger Stone, a former associate of both Donald Trump and Roy M. Cohn, admitted that Jeremy Strong’s portrayal of Cohn was “remarkable in its accuracy.” [From the trailer] Roy Cohn: Rule Three: No matter what happens, claim victory and never admit defeat.

Donald Trump was not “born” that way
Ali Abbasi directs a script by journalist Gabriel Sherman (Vanity Fair, New York Magazine) and sets out to explain the underpinnings of the man who would become president. Two distinct parts of the film are split between the 1970s and then the 1980s, with the first part being infinitely more interesting and better presented. Sebastian Stan is best known as Bucky Barnes in the Marvel Universe, but here he captures the essence of a Donald Trump that many won’t recognize. In the 1970s, Donald was vice president of his father’s real estate development company, and his big dreams were constantly crushed by an overbearing father or a system that left no room for vision. This was a young Trump (in his mid-20s) who had been told that he looked like matinee idol Robert Redford and that it was foolish to try to save Manhattan from the cesspool of decay it had become. In fact, Trump deserves a lot of credit for at least dreaming of recovering from a city on the brink of bankruptcy. Donald’s life (and the movie) is going swimmingly when high-powered attorney Roy Cohn (an extraordinary Jeremy Strong, “Succession”) summons him to his table.
Cohn had previously been counsel to the infamous Sen
Joseph McCarthy and was the lead prosecutor in the Julius and Ethel Rosenberg espionage trial. In the 1970s, Cohn was the quintessential fixer and one of the most powerful lawyers in the country. We watch as he mentors, coaches and counsels the young Trump by instilling in him his three rules: 1. Attack. Attack. Attack. 2.
Claim victory, never admit defeat
Admit nothing. Deny everything. 3. These are the fundamentals of the “art of the deal,” and so much more… how to be a businessman and a ruthless person. That first awkward meeting led to a mentorship that is truly fascinating to watch on screen. Cohn pushes the impatient Trump to become the shark he needs to be, while his father, Fred Trump (Martin Donovan), fights him every step of the way.
Stan and Strong are fascinating in this first hour
Stan captures Trump’s familiar body language (slouched shoulders and hair fixation), while Strong mesmerizes with his steely gaze. Trump mixes with powerful men like Rupert Murdoch, George Steinbrenner, and even Andy Warhol (whom he unconsciously asks if he’s “successful”), and then sets his sights on Ivana (a formidable Maria Bakalova), marrying her at the end… she’s the prenuptial agreement scene where the movie changes. Fast forward to the 1980s and we find a cocky Donald Trump ignoring Cohn’s advice to slow down and reconsider the Atlantic City casino and hotel. Of course, time proves Cohn right, but Trump doesn’t listen to anyone anymore. An unethical attitude towards business and his extravagant taste in everything become evident at this point, from furniture to cufflinks. Furthermore, his treatment of the family becomes apparent, not only with Ivana, but also with his brother Freddy (Charlie Carrick), whom the father calls a “disgrace” to the family since he is a commercial airline pilot and not a greedy capitalist in the family business.
