I really mean it when I say the figure to compare Trump with isn't Nixon or mad King George or Nero.

It's John Gotti.

Every single thing Trump does is a Mob tactic. Intimidation. Extortion. Truck hijacking. Racketeering. Paying off the cops. (Barr in this case.)
John Gotti, aka The Teflon Don" because criminal charges never stuck to him. He slithered out of the arms of the law time after time.

Because he paid off cops and D.A.s. Because the laws themselves were technically imperfect. Because he was worshipped by many in his community.
That worship was just an extension of the cult of the Mafia.

Now let me explain the Mafia. It's not just a gang.

It's *literally* a cult. You swear an actual blood oath to it. That shit is real. You put it above your children, your mother. The Family *replaces* your family.
"But Trump isn't Italian."

No. He's not.

He *wishes* he was. He only got to be a money laundry boy for the Gambinos.

He *wanted to be* John Gotti.

So now he's using the Presidency as a substitute.

"Capice?"
The important part here is, the *only reason* why Gotti was ever convicted and ended up dying in prison is because his right hand man finally turned rat. It was a confluence of events and people that finally created a situation where someone was willing to break his oath.
Have you noticed how he fires anyone with the slightest disloyalty? He fires them cause he can't give them cement boots. Notice how Ivanka and Jared have meaningless "jobs" that give them security clearance?

It's the same shit, without meatballs.
Wait. (I'm still having coffee) The other important thing-

SDNY is still investigating him and NYS Dept of Revenue *has his entire life's worth of taxes on file*. Part of why he's killing New York is retaliation and intimidation for that and don't you forget it.
Now, no one ever dreamed Sammy the Bull Gravano would rat on his Boss, until it happened. It is *possible something like that could happen now.

But it's extremely improbable.
