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.

It all works in Trump’s favor, because tomorrow he’ll be back in the news explaining why he doesn’t have to worry about the mob.
Looks like this guy has been lobbing tweets about Trump for several days, now.
I see he’s too much of a coward to ping @realDonaldTrump to his little fire crackers.
The left can’t help themselves, they are overdoing it and the more they do the thicker the Teflon on Trump gets. This is backfiring. Lol!

Agree! And, don’t forget....the “left” now includes the McBush/Rove/Will RINO’s.
Funny thing, no one thinks Trump is or ever was a choir boy.
RE: He’d have the power to initiate investigations and take them down.
What makes one think that he won’t protect them instead?
That reminds me of an old story.
Bill Clinton was asked if he had ever seen a flying saucer.
Bill responded, "Funny you should ask...I saw my first flying saucer right after I married Hillary."
I would argue that the "mob," as it has historically been known, is no more. It can't compete against Big Government, which has adopted its tactics and perfected them.
Having close ties to The Mob didn’t hurt JFK.
If here can work with the Mob—maybe he can work withg Iran—and the Democrats.
This weeks exposes will include:
Raping Spouses, are they electable?
Successful Businessmen, could they be without the mob’s help?
Strong Individuals, what’s their contribution to cat abuse?
Front runners in political contests, can puppies survive them?
Real Estate Moguls, how safe are your sheep...
These and other tough honest looks at people like Donald Trump, will be accompanied with video of damaged women, mob hit crime scenes, dead cats, dismembered puppies, and recently sheered sheep.
All week at 11:00pm. Don’t miss it.
The nation’s fate is on the line...
[morons one and all...]
It’s turning out that the Mob is more American than the criminal ‘Rats and GOPee these days.

Can somebody say “Amen”?
Now that the rape story fell apart like a $2.00 pistol, the MSM and the Washington Uni-party are trying to find something, anything that just might stick. Funny thing is they are starting to look a little desperate. For some reason, I keep thinking Three Stooges. Or Keystone Kops.
But it is funny.
