That's how drumpf has always appeared, like a crime boss or would-be crime boss.

I believe this is why certain repukes like Ghouly and Crispie are so happy with DonCon as their choice. Because they're totally on the take as partners in crime is my hypothesis. Ghouly was mayor during part of Don's empire-building period in NYC. Ghouly and Don made big towers happen and Crispie was helping Don with casinos and bankruptcies, both men in public positions helping a private developer in return for campaign dough is my guess.
