Roy Cone and Donald Trump's Relationship

Donald Trump and Roy Cone were friends for years before they became business partners. In the early 1990s, Donald was in trouble with the law because his real estate company refused to rent homes to black people. The two decided to counter-suing by filing a lawsuit against the government instead of admitting any wrong doing. This tactic is still at play today: You don't fight on the other guy's ground; you define what the debate is going to be about.
