Trump Hosted "Small-Time Mobster" Joey "No Socks" Cinque at New Year's Party

Donald Trump rang in 2017 at a New Year’s Eve bash at his Mar-a-Lago estate with Joseph Cinque – reportedly a convicted felon who goes by the nickname “Joey No Socks”.

Cinque, a longtime acquaintance of Trump’s, can be seen grinning on stage as the president-elect reads off a list of accomplishments he intends to achieve in office.

In a video of the speech, which was obtained and published by the Palm Beach Daily News, Cinque, wearing a tuxedo, claps and cheers loudly – even pumping his arms in the air when Trump pledges to repeal the Barack Obama’s signature healthcare law, the Affordable Care Act. On Trump’s other side, a man awkwardly holds what appears to be a gilded statue of a bald eagle. Donald Trump abandons press pool again as he plays golf at Florida club

Cinque runs the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences, a company whose primary action is to bestow Star Diamond awards, “the most prestigious award of true excellence in hospitality”, according to its website

The future President stood next to a mobster at his New Year's bash at Mar A Largo. A convicted felon who Trump considers a close friend.

You know the mob. Well you gotta know someone in NY/NJ and don't be surprised if they have connections.

Good for DJT, he’ll need someone to knock heads together. Next up Vinny “calamari” Scataglia.

>>> Trump Hosted “Small-Time Mobster” <<<

Poor Donald.

He can’t even draw “A List” mobsters like Obama and the Clintons.

So what? Did Trump take part in any of the criminal activities?

Guilt by association is so old.

So is the LA times ready to release that video of that event Obama attended for radical palestinian activist Rashid Khalidi or let us see a transcript at least? They’ve hidden it for eight years and it’s far more relevant today - in light of Obama stabbing Israel in the back at the UN - than Trump being in the same room as a reputed mobster.

Guy was convicted in NY of owning an illcit painting in 1989.

Yeah, so Joey “No Socks” is a convicted felon. But he did his time.

Its not like he did hits for the Gotti crime family, with which he was purportedly associated.

Is the Ayers-Dohrn family a competing mob?

The Sharpton crew ring a bell?

The current White House had its share of violent criminals welcomed with open arms.

And we haven’t even gotten around to discussing the criminals Obama has pardoned so far...

JFK’s father, who paid for his election, was a rum-runner during prohibition, a stock manipulator and a Nazi & IRA sympathizer with all kinds of ties to unscrupulous people.

Thornton Melon: First of all you're going to have to grease the local politicians for the sudden zoning problems that always come up. Then there's the kickbacks to the carpenters, and if you plan on using any cement in this building I'm sure the teamsters would like to have a little chat with ya, and that'll cost ya. Oh and don't forget a little something for the building inspectors. Then there's long term costs such as waste disposal. I don't know if you're familiar with who runs that business but I assure you it's not the boyscouts.
