The Gangsters in The White House.

A few weeks ago, while a guest on Chris Hayes' MSNBC program, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Michelle Goldberg called the Trumps "A gangster family."

Hayes was a bit taken aback and tried to dismiss the statement as over the top.

Michelle Goldberg has it right. She said that Trump is running the country like a Mob Boss and that the whole family is in on the game.

It is the Trump culture to do whatever they want without regard for acceptable norms or for that matter the law. Of course Don Jr. was going to meet with a Kremlin connected lawyer to get dirt on Hillary Clinton. That is what a good mobster does for the boss. And what will this particular Mob Boss do when something is found out? Throw whoever he needs to under the bus, even if it is his own son. Trump's loyalty begins and ends with himself.

These people make me sick. Including Ivanka, whom I can not decide whether she is a Czarina or a Mafia Princess. Perhaps both.

The RWNJs probably won't like that term for their beloved dictator; however, I bet they soon start reveling in the fact that their mob boss is a tough guy not to be messed around with.
