Fred was an early mob adopter, the underworld equivalent of an investor who bought shares of Coca-Cola stock in 1919. The timelines is important to remember here. Organized crime did not exist in any meaningful way in the United States until Prohibition. Born in 1905, Fred Trump was just two years younger than Meyer Lansky, the gangster who more or less invented money laundering. Thus, Donald Trump is second generation mobbed-up. and -owned construction entities since building the Shore Haven development in 1947, when Donald was still in diapers (the first time around).

When Donald first ventured from Queens to the pizzazzier borough of Manhattan in the seventies, he entered into a joint business deal with Big Paul Castellano, head of the Gambino syndicate, and Anthony Fat Tony Salerno, of the Genovese family he knew well through his father and their mutual lawyer Roy Cohn. As part of this arrangement, Trump agreed to buy concrete from a company operated jointly by the two familiesand pay a hefty premium for the privilege. Only then, with double mob approval, could he move forward with the Trump Tower and Trump Plaza projects. (Among Cohns other clients at the time was Rupert Murdoch, whom he introduced to Trump in the seventies; you would be hard pressed to find three more atrocious human beings).'>>>
I believe it too.

(133 posts)I've always said that tRump has been all mobbed-up. As the article explains his dad, it all makes sense. The construction business used to be big crooked empire with the local mobsters calling the shots so that everyone got their piece of the construction project. Some say...it still is...
It is interesting that he has gotten a free pass many times, was he doing in the Mob?
That would be big and if it comes out.....he may be buried at the 9th hole very soon.
