Donald Trump is running for president. Many believed or hoped that the Donalds latest foray into national politics was nothing more than a public-relations move, not a serious attempt to reside at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
But now that Trump holds the lead in national polls, as well as polls in Iowa and New Hampshire, its time to take his campaign seriously. Media outlets like Huffington Post and the Wall Street Journal, which are covering Trumps run as an entertainment story, not a news story, are making a mistake. If Trump wants to be a serious candidate for president, and has the numbers to back it up, he must be vetted like a serious candidate for president. A good place to start is to take a hard look at Trumps ties to Philadelphia and New York organized-crime families.
Donald Trumps Connections to Organized Crime
Trump was building his eponymous empire of hotels, casinos, and high rises in the early 1980s in New York City and Atlantic City. In both places, the construction industry was firmly under the thumb of the mafia. And in both places there are literally concrete connections between La Cosa Nostra and Trumps lavish projects. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Cay Johnston, who has covered Trump for decades, has written a very useful list of questions for Trump. Many focus on his ties to the mob. In addition in his 1992 book, Trump, The Deals and the Downfall, author Wayne Barrett lays out a slew of suspicious dealings and associations.

Joseph Kennedy, the grand old patriarch of the family, was well acquainted with mobsters through his bootlegging activities in the 1920s as well as through his experiences as a Hollywood producer.
His son John not only frequented Mafia-controlled casinos in Havana and Las Vegas during the 1950s, but he even shared a lover (Judith Campbell Exner) with Giancana, one of the most brutal mob killers in history.
Not as close as the Kennedys, I bet.
Dang. Wrong again.
I thought that sucking sound was you...and it was Jeb.
Todays Wall Street Journal reports that New York governor Andrew Cuomo is leaning on airlines and their insurers to settle a long-running lawsuit over the 9/11 attacks with World Trade Center developer Larry Silverstein. When a guy with an Italian name is leaning on someone on behalf of a Jewish billionaire well, Ill spare you the ethnic jokes.
Larry Silverstein, who allegedly moved into real estate from the illicit sex trade world, bought the World Trade Center six weeks before 9/11, doubled the insurance, and changed it to a cash payout policy. After the WTC was blown up, Silverstein walked into a mobbed-up courtroom claiming double-indemnity for the two completely separate terrorist attacks the two planes and walked out with over five billion in cash on his low-millions two-month investment. The two planes equals two separate terrorist attacks ruse led some to wonder about how Jewish lightning could strike twice in the same place.
Then, just to define the word chutzpah for all time, Silverstein went back into court asking for another 11 billion dollars. When the insurers balked, it seems he found a guy named Cuomo to lean on them.
Larry is infamous for going on national television and confessing that he participated in a decision to pull or demolish World Trade Center Building 7.

Larry is infamous for going on national television and confessing that he participated in a decision to pull or demolish World Trade Center Building 7. And yet he collected three-quarters of a billion dollars in insurance fraud money on the premise that WTC-7 somehow just decided to fall down out of sympathy for its big brothers, the Twin Towers.
Andrews godfather, I mean father, Mario Cuomo, is famous for his self-righteous indignation about longstanding claims that hes mobbed-up. The term mafia is just a slur on Italian Americans, he once said. (Google Don Mario Cuomo and the Dope Mob for details.) If he doesnt want anyone to notice that hes mobbed-up, maybe he should tell his kid to stop leaning on people on behalf of treasonous Kosher Nostra criminals like Larry Silverstein.
Ariel: You ever heard of the Masada? For two years, 900 Jews held their own against 15,000 Roman soldiers. They chose death before enslavement. The Romans? Where are they now?
Tony Soprano: You’re looking at them...
Whew.
Finally finished writing all those checks to Jeb.
Think I'll call up the union and see if they can use an extra thug tonight.
Perhaps they have your address.
Wow. Rove, Walker, and ¡Jeb! are really digging deep to try to smear Trump.
Nervous, boys?
So your parents are liberals?
Well, everyone knows unions are controlled by the mobs. Because unions march in lockstep with the Democratic party, the Democratic Party must be in bed with the mob.
Trump can do no wrong!
