The book the TRUMPS. Lays it all out. When he learned from his father as a toddler to work with tradesmen he learned how to “make a deal” with the mob.
Check out Freds testimony in front of congressional hearing. He pointed the only thing left out of what others testified about being shook down by the mobs was the fees that they paid to corrupt politicians. Blew it all wide open. It was then that Fred under Eisenhower became a republican and gained the favor of republican Indiana congressman who headed the committee
As a side note. If you have a garage attached to your house thank Fred Trump. It was his idea Wanted people to be able to get in and out of car and into their homes without having to get in the weather. One of the reason his houses were so popular and how he became so rich so fast.
Didn’t know that - thanks HM!
Love all of your Trump trivia, HM!!
