    Trump hated the Mafia because they wanted in on his casinos.

    Here's an article; 'Just what were Trumps Ties to the Mob?'  Trump had to buy concrete through a supplier controlled by Fat Tony Salerno and Paul Castellano . (Paul Castellano from the movie "Good Fellas")

    In defense of my avatar, the title of “Don” in mob circles IS an honorable one. Depends which side of the fence one is looking from.  :)

    The first  5 definitions are all honorable Don. It's the sixth one only that refers to a mob. The Don is the Head of the Family or families? They kiss his ring don't they just as they kiss the ring of the Pope who is the top dawg on earth representing  God. What does a mob head represent? Oh well it's moot. Thank you for your reply Don and Happy Sunday! :)
