To understand who & what Fred was, one can start with his father. Trace him through the White Hand gangs of NYC early ghettos - to Canadian liquor & whores - & back to NYC, in the era & territory of Genovese capo, Lucky Luciano.

2/ We can just study the rise of his real estate empire in Brooklyn - in the Brighton Beach area that was Genovese-controlled.
We& #39;re going to focus on the key pieces of that empire: SHORE HAVEN, BEACH HAVEN, TRUMP VILLAGE, HRH CONSTRUCTION, and the RUSSIAN MOB.
3/ Okay... as we get into this, I want to share something an NSA guy once told me (don& #39;t go crazy. just a friend): "Look for the negative space. That& #39;s where the answers are."
In layman& #39;s terms, this means gather all the known data points - all the evidence - on your target...
4/...assemble them, and look at what& #39;s not there - when they& #39;re all connected. Look for the negative space that forms in the center of all the information. That& #39;s the truth to follow.
To visualize this, imagine coming onto a cartoon scene, where there& #39;s a hole in the wall...
5/...that hole is the exact shape of Wylie Coyote. Now, Wylie& #39;s not there. G*d only knows where he is. But you can see the negative space is him, b/c everything left around it forms that clear outline.
Our cartoon hole is Fred Trump, the businessman front for the underworld...
6/... as defined by everything around him. The Genovese Crime Family. https://twitter.com/LincolnsBible/status/891360061993263104?s=20">https://twitter.com/LincolnsB...
7/ Data Point 1: Shore Haven. 1947.
Fred is able to start construction on his first, major real estate development in Brooklyn - Bensonhurst Park. And somehow, some way, men were secretly helping him buy up all the land - much of it suddenly for sale. https://bklyner.com/10-most-ruthless-mobsters-from-bensonhurst-bensonhurst/">https://bklyner.com/10-most-r...
8/ In https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⬆️" title="Upwards arrow" aria-label="Emoji: Upwards arrow">article, zero in on Carlos Gambino. Although the godfather of another Cosa Nostra family, he started on Luciano& #39;s crew. In the years leading up to Fred breaking ground, Gambino still answered to Luciano - and those men controlled the city officials who green lit Fred.
9/ Data Point 2: Beach Haven.
Fred& #39;s second big development (he made a small fortune on Shore Haven). And after doing the bulk of his individual home building and Shore Haven alone, he takes on a partner.
WILLIE TOMASELLO. A local brick contractor, who advanced 1/2 a million...
10/...for 25% - before the FHA loans.
(side note: should not be an "s" at end of Carlo Gambino& #39;s name above.)
Okay... so Tomasello comes with a measly 1/2 million, & the FHA loans are on the way. Why take his $ & give 25% away? It was worth way more than $1.5million pre-funding.
11/ Unlike donald, Fred was shrewd & successful. Makes no sense. Until you know this... (source: Wayne Barrett& #39;s "Trump")
12/ Data Point 3: Trump Village & HRH Construction
Okay, this one is SUPER messy politically. Every mobbed-up lawyer, mayor, commissioner, union is in this deal. Too many "families", & too much dirt to map in a thread.
Just know it was impossible that Fred pulled this off, AND...
13/...for the first time, Fred turned construction over to a bigger company: HRH Construction.
You remember. These guys https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⬇️" title="Downwards arrow" aria-label="Emoji: Downwards arrow">. https://twitter.com/LincolnsBible/status/1049409623956975616?s=20">https://twitter.com/LincolnsB...
14/ Data Point 5 - Infinity: The Russian Mob.
Robert Friedman gives a long, detailed account on how the Russian Mafia rolled onto our shores, and landed right in all of Fred Trump& #39;s properties in the 70& #39;s & early 80& #39;s (before the next wave of capos landed in donald& #39;s).
15/ Data Point Infinity: The Russian Mob.
What does the Russian mafia have to do with the Genovese?
This. And this. And this... and on, and on, and on...
16/ In the 80s-90s, Soviet-born mafiosos rolled up the Genovese, and took all their assets along with & #39;em.
I can& #39;t say it enough. https://twitter.com/LincolnsBible/status/1021760224938450944?s=20">https://twitter.com/LincolnsB...
17/ Data Point Infinity: Brad Zackson & Semion Mogilevich (& Firtash & Manafort, oh my...)
https://freebeacon.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/manafort-complaint-2.pdf">https://freebeacon.com/wp-conten...
18/ So... let& #39;s take those new data points, combine them with the old data points on Fred and Manafort and Genovese capo, "Midge"... and I believe we have our negative space. Defined.
FRED TRUMP WAS THE BUSINESS FRONT FOR THE GENOVESE CRIME FAMILY.
And then the Russian mob.
19/ Oh, there& #39;s so much more. So, so much... like Luciano& #39;s partner, Meyer Lansky, The Sand& #39;s Casino, and Resorts International. We& #39;ll get to it all soon enough. Rest assured, those two original gangsters, who created organized crime, were Fred Trump& #39;s overlords...
20/ I& #39;m gonna go back to my tequila & good company. This has been an interesting ride… being a voice of mob history on the Twitters. Probably the weirdest part has been the hot takes from political pundits on donald’s “mob-isms” – as if it’s some personality quirk...
21/...or a trait attributed only to Roy Cohn (good grief, I didn& #39;t even data point Roy Cohn, Genovese fixer). As I’ve said often, it’s not a joke. Or a quirk. Or something to be eye-rolled or danced around.

donald Trump is an actual mobster.
He was born into the underworld.
22/ This is a very specific thing. Not to be confused or collapsed with all the other slimy NYC builders & con men, who do business with shady characters. No.
He is actually FROM the underworld.
Born into it – from WAY down in its depths.
I can see the afterbirth of mob scum...
23/... still dripping from his fleshy neck. That’s how deep he is buried…
Because he was spawned by FRED TRUMP.
And the mobsters who owned Fred created the underworld itself.
G& #39;night. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r57J0jPyZRs">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
