Don't know if anyone else caught this documentary on Netflix that came out recently, but it's quite the show...

A documentary exploring the life and career of notorious Republican dirty trickster and longtime Trump advisor, Roger Stone, who helped create the real-estate mogul's political career.
This guy started his career in the Nixon White House, helped get Reagan elected (slogan: Make America Great Again, ring any bells?) and then proceeded to make millions by opening a consulting firm to lobby the Reagan administration on behalf of his clients. People in the industry say the firm has been pretty much the epitome of the 'sleazy lobbyist'. They work for pretty much anyone, tobacco, big oil, foreign dictators, you name it. He's also been behind pretty much every nasty and dirty trick the GOP has played over the last 30 years, and relishes that role.

Interviewer: What message would you have for the viewers of this film who will loathe you when the credits roll?
Roger Stone: I revel in your hatred, because if I weren't effective you wouldn't hate me.
His most recent work is of course getting Trump elected, as he's apparently been a top strategic advisor to the campaign. Hard to argue he knows his politics.
Also, fun fact, he has a tattoo of Nixon's face on his back.
