Trump demands loyalty like a mafia don

Last edited Thu Nov 23, 2017, 02:57 PM - Edit history (1)

Loyalty to rule of law and the Constitution or Trump....is the choice Republicans face with all the upcoming indictments and arrests regarding Trump and his teams' conspiracy with Russia and against the United States. It can't be both. Remember he asked Comey if he was going to be "loyal" to him and drop the investigation into Michael Flynn, as if the FBI director is his personal foot soldier in a mafia gang, in a clear case of obstruction of justice. All just to get power and line his pockets.

He has seen The Godfather too many times, and he models his behavior on the movie.

It would be funny if it was not so dangerous.

...grifting real estate and casinos, making a mockery of our laws, and surrounded by paid, loyal serfs - that's the sort of person you get.

No surprises here.
