at work. but if you listened to the tape of cohen and trump discussing his legal woes - Ivana's divorce deposition or interrogatories or whatever, pecker's payoff, and so on, the picture it paints is trump sitting at his desk. talking on his phone, ordering up a coke, telling his fixer to deliver everything to him and "pay in cash." it sounded very mobster-ish to me.

From the movie:
"In five years, the Corleone family business will be completely legitimate."
From probability:
In fifty years, the Trump family business will not.
