I wouldn’t normally post from such a source, but this is interesting.

      Here’s how to understand exactly how Trump thinks. Like a lot of weak people, he admires what he sees as strength. To him, ‘strength’ is acting like a low level Mafiosa. He’s never been inside with the real Capos, so he imitates the street bosses.

      Something a low-level guy loves is a ‘bust out.’ It’s when a legitimate business is forced to partner up with the mob. The mob comes in and destroys the business by ordering all sorts of equipment. If it’s a resrtaurant they order enough décor for a dozen places; then sell it off cheap to their buddies. Naturally, they leave the owners of record on the hook for the whole payment.

      If Trump had been a real tough guy he’d have extorted billions out of the Saudis on Inauguration Day, 2016. But he’s a schnook who only deals in penny ante crime.
