He is in full meltdown mode: tweeting about "Alfonse Capone" and Manafort "Reagan darling"




Donald J. Trump

Looking back on history, who was treated worse, Alfonse Capone, legendary mob boss, killer and “Public Enemy Number One,” or Paul Manafort, political operative & Reagan/Dole darling, now serving solitary confinement - although convicted of nothing? Where is the Russian Collusion?

The same court system that you've gamed for decades to stiff contractors and steal from the deserving is the one that's going to skewer your ass, you pompous dickcheese.

Alphonse Capone spent six years imprisoned at Alcatraz, then was paroled in 1939. He died some years later of tertiary syphilis and a stroke. Like Manafort, he was tried for tax evasion but he was never charged with murder or other mob-related crimes other than prohibition violations.

Manafort is being held in jail (not "solitary" ) for the duration of the trial for witness tampering while he was out. He wouldn't be in jail if he hadn't tried to tamper with witnesses.

But who needs facts?

that you're broke. Flat broke. President Obama has a higher net worth.

That is always what Trump feared, he just plays a rich man on T.V.
