Google "Trump mob boss" and you'll get about eight million hits. But that trope doesn't sufficiently insult Trump for MSNBC's taste. No, in the view of the liberal network, comparing Trump to mob bosses is unfair . . . to mob bosses.
MSNBC legal analyst Daniel Goldman first floated the notion in a tweet, which Willie Geist then approvingly quoted on today's Morning Joe [emphasis added]:
Joe made the mob-boss comparison. Dan Goldman, who worked for the Southern District of New York as a US attorney, said this about that comparison: "having prosecuted mob bosses, it's unfair to compare them to Trump. Mob bosses are far smarter and way more savvy and discreet than Trump."

Calling President Trump a mob boss isn’t insulting enough for MSNBC.
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
Willie Geist is normally the most fair-and-balanced of the Morning Joe regulars—admittedly a low bar.
But here, he seems to have really embraced the Trump-bashing.
Hillary Clinton is a mob boss, Trump is a businessman.
I can’t say what I want to see done to these maggots.
Personal attack is the only weapon Liberals have against any conservative.
BTW, if Trump were really like a mob boss, there are a bunch of Liberals who would be taking dirt naps by now.
The media has become nothing but interchangable parts.
More dumbass sophomoric BS from MSNBC.
They are just fools, with an audience more stupid than they are, if that is possible.
Hmmmm..I seem to remember thousands of Brits chanting “We want Trump” a few months ago.
So what these “journalists” are saying is that a *Robber Baron, Mob Boss is more preferable to The British than an idiot, global socialist.
That’s what I took from it.
Good reporting guys, keep smithing your own coffin nails.
*Guess C.S Lewis was right.
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.”
