"To be quite frank, Platinum sucks at making games. Vanquish was terrible and Metal Gear Rising: Revengance was so boring it put me to sleep."

The Don(ald): il capo Americano
Donald J Trump is a mixture of huckster, con artist, showman and motivational speaker but, mostly, he is a mobster. Many biographers have pointed out his connections with the mafia in his business dealings (operating with the construction industry in NYC). Although Trump is not Italian-American, he is essentially a mobster. He operates along the same lines as the mafia and as POTUS he will use what he knows because he isn’t a very curious person nor introspective.
Now watch a 2nd-tier mob boss run your country like his operation.

It’s Personal: Homerta
Trump takes things very personally. You may have noticed. He holds grudges and pursues vendettas with alacrity. He demands loyalty and obedience of his staff and associates. He does not admit any mistakes and does not like to have his authority challenged.

I’m not in the business, I am the business
Investigators have commented that Trump is basically the business. He works through personal relationships. He networks constantly. He is the most important part of his company, which is part real estate, part branding operation. He has no intellectual property or product. He only has his family name.

Family matters
Trump inherited some of his wealth and used his father’s contacts to start up in business. He used his own father’s funeral as a pitch to potential investors in his latest real estate project. His children all have business connections with their father. The older ones worked on his campaign. All of the children and his current wife Melania appeared at campaign events. Family matters and business are completely interwoven.

Cuban Connection
It emerged during the campaign that Trump broke the Cuban embargo to do business. Did it matter? lol :v:

Las Vegas Connection
Trump has owned hotels and casinos in Las Vegas.

Casino
Gambling has long been a source of income for the mafia. :homebrew: Trump has owned various casinos in Las Vegas and Atlantic City.

The Showbiz Connection
Like mobsters before him, Trump likes and cultivates famous friends. He has made cameo appearances in a number of movies. He wants to be seen in the company of stars and to be a star himself.

Bribery
Trump has admitted in speeches that he has contributed to the campaign funds of politicians of all parties and outlooks. It is not political; it’s a good investment.

A Hard Man is Good to Find
The only constant in Trump’s interviews and attitudes over 40 years is his admiration for tough men. That translates into admiration for dictators and authoritarian leaders: Duterte, Kim Jong Il and his biggest crush Putin. Mafia heads exert the same control and domination as these figures.

This OP is posted 10 November 2016, 2 days after Trump was elected POTUS. Over the coming months and years we’ll see exactly how Trump tries, fails and succeeds in applying his brand of mafia (McMafia) to America.

This thread is for info/questions/answers/questions/discussion of Trump as mafia boss and mobster-in-chief.

I will update the OP sometimes. I am not a journalist. The info will come from you. I will add pictures and links as we go along.
