Looking back, can anyone name a person, party or group to whom Trump had been loyal through

thick and thin?

Looking forward, can anyone name a person, party or group that he will not throw under the bus as soon as they become "inconvenient"?

...And while Cohn was indeed disbarred in the end, it wasn't until Trump learned that Cohn had been diagnosed with AIDS that he decided to sever his ties with his mentor.

Cohn was reportedly stunned by the betrayal, after all he'd done for Trump. "Donald pisses ice water," he is quoted as saying in Barrett's 1992 book about Trump.
