Trump admitted to "mobster" connections

[dixiegrrrrl]

During a 2004 panel at the Museum of Television and Radio, in Los Angeles, Trump claimed that “every network” had tried to get him to do a reality show, but he wasn’t interested: “I don’t want to have cameras all over my office, dealing with contractors, politicians, mobsters, and everyone else I have to deal with in my business. You know, mobsters don’t like, as they’re talking to me, having cameras all over the room. It would play well on television, but it doesn’t play well with them.”

2. He only WISHES he was mobbed-up because if he had actually been dealing with real "mobsters"...

...he would have known to keep his mouth shut about it.

He's a fraud.

11. I was reminded of that scene in The Sopranos

where the idle rich neighbor gets Tony to his golf club and the golfing friends are all gaga over him being a mobster
( he doesn't realize they know, at first) so they ask all these nosy questions while he slowly figures out why they are asking,

Of course, he is not welcome to actually join their WASP club.

6. Not defending Trump but I have always been under the
