Roger Stone is a media personality extraordinaire best known as a “former” longtime political adviser to President Trump. He has been a Republican operative since the 1970s and is a veteran of eight presidential campaigns, starting in 1972 with Richard Nixon’s re-election. Stone is a columnist, fashion expert and author of eight books, including his latest, The Making of the President 2016. His website Stone Cold Truth is always provocative.

Stone’s colorful career is now the subject of a documentary, “Get Me Roger Stone,” premiering Friday on Netflix. Over the past five years the filmmakers followed Stone, gathering insight into the man they call, “America’s most powerful dirty trickster.”
