Trump's alleged ties to New York and Philadelphia crime families go back decades and have been recounted in a book, newspapers and government records.

"The mob connections of Donald are extraordinarily extensive," New York investigative journalist Wayne Barrett told CNN in an interview.

Seems like Donald Trump has similar connections as "Dingy" Harry Reid. Are we going to trade out "Harry Reid" and his Mafia connections for a president with Mafia connections?

Clearly, the ownership of certain pieces of real estate in Atlantic City allude to Donald Trump's Mafia Connections.

Has Donald Trump expanded his empire to Las Vegas?

Michael: My father is no different than any powerful man, any man with power, like a president or senator.
Kay Adams: Do you know how naive you sound, Michael? Presidents and senators don’t have men killed.
Michael: Oh. Who’s being naive, Kay?

When he was vying for a casino in Atlantic City, he had to undergo an extensive background check and if there were any ties to the mafia, he would have been denied his casino license. SO, this story is just another hit piece. Donald has been around NY for many, many years and these allegations have never come out until now. Isn’t this suspicious? Sure, it is.

I wonder what was more distasteful to Donald Trump. Dealing with the Mafia or Dealing with Politicians?

Hillary and Bill were friends of the Dixie Mafia
Obama has the New Black Panther Party, the UN and DHS, and the Illuminati

Given that I’d say Donald needs as much protection as he can get with the likes of his contenders...

You can think what you want. But, there were some who wanted licenses who didn’t get them because of their ties to the mob.
