As Trump prepares for his inauguration, the legacy of Roy Cohn looms large in the background
New York: So, Trump’s big inauguration is coming up, and people are buzzing about it. They say it’ll be a sight to see, maybe even breaking attendance records from his first one. It’s wild to think about all the folks who’ll be there, even if some are just there in spirit, like the Jan. 6 “patriots” still behind bars.
But here’s the kicker: Roy Cohn, Trump’s infamous fixer, won’t be there. If he hadn’t passed away from AIDS at 59, he’d be 97 now, probably still stirring the pot with Trump. It’s kind of eerie to imagine what he’d be up to today, especially with Trump still in the spotlight.
Picture this: VIP sections filled with family and friends, and maybe even a spot for Roy if he were around. He’d probably be in the lawyer section, chatting it up with some familiar faces. It’s fun to think about how he’d fit into the mix, given his flair for drama and connections.
And what about the media? Roy would have a field day with that, shaking things up and making sure everyone knows who’s in charge. He’d probably have a few lawsuits lined up, too, just to keep things interesting.
In the end, it’s a shame he’s not here to see it all unfold. The thought of him sharing laughs with other ghosts of the past is a bit bittersweet. I guess we’ll just have to keep his memory alive as the festivities roll on.
