I am watching a documentary about the Mob.

I am watching the story of Nick Scarfo and there was a special camo appearance by the president himself! The Mob boss was a well know person in the 80's and rubbed shoulders with Donald J. Trump himself! I wonder if he(Trump) has other appearances in any movies, like "Stormy is on the Horizon"?

1. Pretty sure he showed up in a couple of soft core porn flicks...

or at least one. Not as an "active participant" but as a bit player in a couple of scenes.

That came out during the campaign. His supporters took it as a badge of honor, kind of like porking Stormy Daniels.

2. I lived in Philadelphia during Nicky Scarfo's 'Atlantic City Mob War'

My apartment was on Broad Street, not far from the Italian Market. Suffice to say that if you saw a rolled up carpet, on the curb, you kept your distance. Nicky Scarfo was a special kind of evil. He made John Gotti look like a choir boy.

3. I met Nicky many years ago in Camden. Always dressed and coiffed to the nines..n/t

4. the mob and trump shared an attorney - Roy Cohn

Trump learned A LOT of the tactics we see today from Cohn.

VERY interesting article from last year in Vanity Fair about them.

For author Sam Roberts, the essence of Cohn’s influence on Trump was the triad: “Roy was a master of situational immorality . . . . He worked with a three-dimensional strategy, which was: 1. Never settle, never surrender. 2. Counter-attack, counter-sue immediately. 3. No matter what happens, no matter how deeply into the muck you get, claim victory and never admit defeat.” As columnist Liz Smith once observed, “Donald lost his moral compass when he made an alliance with Roy Cohn.”

Steve Brill again saw Cohn’s stamp when Trump struck back, defending the case against Trump University. It was, Brill asserted, “a scam against the very people who [eventually] voted for Trump—the middle and lower middle class . . . . The first thing Trump does is sue one of the plaintiffs. She wins and the judge awards her $800,000 in legal fees, and Trump appeals, and in that decision he’s compared to Bernie Madoff . . . . This strategy was pure Cohn: ‘Attack your accuser.’ ”
