Agree. Another interesting subject. Trump is very familiar with the mafia. He even bought lots in Atlantic City directly from mob members who owned them, and negotiated with mob controlled unions to get things built there, in NYC, and elsewhere. That doesn’t make Trump “dirty.” It’s just the way things are. Trump has had to deal with the most ruthless people imaginable. However, even among the mob, there are certain rules, and a structure of does and don’ts. I think Trump may agree that the mob has more “honor” than the media and Washington DC.
Trump knows every angle and he knows how to fight because if you can build a real estate empire in NYC and casinos in NJ, you HAVE TO deal with mafiosi.
The biggest difference between the Mafia and the msm/des is that the Mafia doesn’t think they’re the “good guys” and they don’t pretend to be.
As for loyalty, that was pretty much out the window until they started bringing in hundreds and hundreds of Sicilians to boost the American Mafia. They are old school and have built a well oiled machine again making billions and billions a year.
they are also, to be frank, BRUTALLY ruthless if you get in their way or get involved with them and screw up.
Of course it’s “not fair” that construction builders have to kick up and give no show jobs, etc., but “unfair” is a word for children.
If you go into construction, expect it at least for now and don’t cry later.
