Donald Trump is running for president. Many believed or hoped that the Donald’s 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, it’s time to take his campaign seriously. Media outlets like Huffington Post and the Wall Street Journal, which are covering Trump’s 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 Trump’s ties to Philadelphia and New York organized-crime families.
Donald Trump’s 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 Trump’s 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.

There ought to be a law, dammit!
I ban myself!
Trump is a racist, hates illegals, hates big government, is insensitive, mean, has raped his wife, rode with the Hells Angles, has ISIS agents working for him and now we find he’s also a Mafia Chieftain.
He’s just a mean guy.
Now can we get back to business as usual and vote for a real career government politician?
You say that like it's a bad thing.
Lol...just ignore. He/she’s calling all of us union/Jeb loving trolls, today. Lot’s of projecting going on, around here. They’re running skeert.
Not even close.
He JOINED the mafia and then threatened his wife with being raped by 10 million illegal immigrants if she didn't go to the media room with him to watch "The Godfather" for the thousandth time.
She retaliated by making him join the Republican party and putting a fake donkey's head in his bed (in the guest room).
Their divorce followed shortly thereafter.
You are hereby banished!
I pay my United Freeper Union dues monthly. It isn’t much, but I feel good about it.;-)
Next we’ll find out the Donald had a partial birth abortion.
When I was in college I had a summer job at a big construction site. The union steward also ran a numbers racket and who knows what else. Mafia type and a weasel if I ever saw one.
Soured me on unions, the mob and using my back instead of my brain!
Perhaps, but pretty darned good for an idiot union thug.
My greatest pleasure.
At least to Jim, FR, and to my fellow Freepers.

his leather jacket is made out of the poodle puppies of NYC liberals.
I can see this going all chuck noris.
Donald Trump once made Speaker Boehner cry, Boehner is still crying and has never stopped.
Donald Trump has made Lindsey Graham have nightmares about cell phones.
Donald Trump has cause the entire payroll of MSNBC to wear depends undergarments.
Donald Trump cured Chris Mathews tingly leg.
LOLOLOLOL.
ABSOLUTELY!!
