"Nobody likes Indians as much as Donald Trump." He then proceeded to worry that the tribes would prove unable to fend off gangsters. "There is no way Indians are going to protect themselves from the mob. It will be the biggest scandal ever, the biggest since Al Capone. An Indian chief is going to tell Joey Killer to get off his reservation? It's unbelievable to me."

Chantilly Say posted:"Nobody likes Indians as much as Donald Trump." He then proceeded to worry that the tribes would prove unable to fend off gangsters. "There is no way Indians are going to protect themselves from the mob. It will be the biggest scandal ever, the biggest since Al Capone. An Indian chief is going to tell Joey Killer to get off his reservation? It's unbelievable to me." WASHINGTON — A congressional hearing on American Indian gambling establishments erupted into a nasty yelling match yesterday when casino king Donald Trump charged that Indian gaming is rife with organized crime and represents the "biggest scandal since Al Capone." "Organized crime is rampant on Indian reservations," Trump shouted to a House subcommittee. "People know it; people talk about it. It's going to blow. It's just a matter of time. And when it blows, you're going to have some very embarrassed faces sitting right where you are now." Trump also contended that American Indians would not be able to protect their casinos from organized crime, even if they wanted to. The New York business tycoon said there are too many Indian casinos and not enough people to regulate them. Trump's remarks drew gasps and puzzled looks of disbelief from lawmakers and onlookers, many of them Indian, who packed the small hearing room to get a glimpse of the tanned celebrity and hear in person what he has been saying through his lawyers for months. "In the 19 years I have been on this committee, I have never seen such irresponsible remarks," Rep. George Miller (D., Calif.) shouted back to Trump. "You have cast on the Indians in this country a blanket indictment that organized crime is rampant. You don't know this; you suspect this." Jim Moody, section chief of the organized crime/drug operation division of the FBI, testified that his office had found no evidence of skimming, money laundering, theft or any other criminal activity in Indian gaming. "The gaming industry is a relatively closed industry," Moody said. "The vast majority are run as legitimate legal businesses." He said tribal controls make it difficult for organized crime to infiltrate Indian gaming. Trump, whose organization operates the Taj Mahal and two other casinos in Atlantic City, said he wanted to protect regulated casinos like his from the scandal that he predicted would surely wrack the largely nonregulated Indian gaming industry. But Indian leaders said Trump is afraid of losing money to Indians who stand to make millions as more tribes discover the lucrative world of bingo, slot machines and other games. More than 100 Indian-run casinos in 26 states have sprung up since Congress passed the Indian Gaming Act of 1988, which gave American Indians the right to create gambling establishments on their land. After Trump's testimony before the House Natural Resources subcommittee on Native American affairs, Indian leaders lashed out at him, saying his statements constituted "economic racism." "Congress must not allow itself to be used to implement the racist agenda of a few greedy commercial gaming tycoons," said Tim Wapato, executive director of the National Indian Gaming Association. Wapato said Indian gaming, while not subject to extensive federal and state regulations, is regulated by tribal councils and "subject to more stringent regulation and security controls than any other type of gaming in the United States." Subcommittee members, including Chairman Bill Richardson (D., N.M.), said that although the Indian Gaming Act may need updating, it has given many Indians the means to rebound from years of oppression. "Indian gaming is a desperate remedy for a desperate situation," said Richardson. Few things, he said, have proved as successful at stimulating the economy among Indians. Trump also angered some onlookers by suggesting there should be a method of ensuring that people are really Indians before they can open a casino on Indian lands. He drew even more gasps by attacking the notion of Indian sovereignty - the system that allows tribes to govern themselves. "It's only sovereignty in that they don't have to pay taxes," said Trump, adding that he makes millions from his casinos and pays millions in taxes. ''It's not a fair situation. Nobody is more for Indians than Donald Trump. But I like to compete on an equal foot."

i think all the panicking in uspol over "large swaths of uneducated unemployed angry persons will swarm the polls and shuttle trump into power" and the implicit "if only the common scum were smart and rational as me" is exactly the sort of elitist snobbery talk that festers populist sentiment it is ironic or hypocritical or stupid or funny idk
