Trump Speaks Like a Mob Boss

Trump, like any other mob boss, thinks that using informers and turning underlings should be outlawed.

"It's called flipping and it almost ought to be illegal," Trump said in the interview, adding he's witnessed similar scenarios over his decades in public life. "I know all about flipping, 30, 40 years I have been watching flippers. Everything is wonderful and then they get 10 years in jail and they flip on whoever the next highest one is or as high as you can go."

Meanwhile, David Pecker, the chairman of the company that publishes the National Enquirer, flipped on Trump. The Enquirer engaged in at least one payoff to a Trump mistress to keep the story secret.

I'm sure that John Gotti and other mobsters have had the same opinion about flipping minions as does Trump. And for the same reasons.

Trump has been essentially complaining for over a year that he can't use the Justice Department and the FBI as his personal goon squad. Sessions finally pushed back.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired back Thursday at President* Trump for saying he “never took control of the Justice Department,” putting out a sharp statement vowing the agency won’t be “improperly influenced” by politics.
