Whitey Bulger was a huge fan of Trump: 'He has my vote'

President Trump’s tough stance gained him an unexpected mega-fan — murderous gangland boss Whitey Bulger.

“History may show Trump was the man of the hour,” the notorious villain wrote in letters from jail before his violent death aged 89 last October, according to NBC News.

The notorious gangster — convicted on racketeering charges in a string of murders in the 1970s and ’80s, as well as extortion, money-laundering and weapons charges — wrote repeatedly of his admiration for the president, according to handwritten letters obtained by NBC.

And Bulger, who terrorized Boston as leader of the brutal Winter Hill Gang, made no secret of why he so admired the president.

Only the New York Post would brag about this.
