Just like the guys who clean my windshield at a traffic stop.

Or shake me down for loose cash.

Or threaten me with something like "Nice face you have there. Too bad...."

Basically, campaign and govern like a mafia don would.

Drug money included, if necessary.

The don is supposed to have a bit of a drug habit.

Buying and selling ass/ets is also in his portfolio. Not sure how much he'll rent out his own family for, however. Poor, poor Jeffrey won't be able to tell his side of the stories.

Gambling? Got that in spades (No Trump.) Too bad he was shown to be a piss-poor businessman. He still came out with the dough and stiffed everyone else.

Reporting transactions to "The Man"? No, not so much. Using consiglieri tactics to try and hold onto power? Absolutely.

Al Capone and all the earlier bosses could only dream about having the US gov't by the balls. Who wudda thunk a slug like dump could pull it off?

Dubya, as you know, almost bankrupted the country, with his wars, corruption, and Wall Street-written policies.

I shudder to think of what 4 more years of the Orange Oaf could do.
