Mueller Report Confirms Trump Runs the White House Like It's the Mafia
Donald Trump is running the American government like a business or, if were being precise, like a criminal enterprise.
The presidents penchant for asking himself, What would Roy Cohn advise John Gotti to do? has been clear for some time. Last August, Trump said of the possibility that Michael Cohen would cooperate with Robert Muellers investigation, I know all about flipping. It should almost be illegal. Around that same time, the president insisted that his White House counsel, Don McGahn, was not a a John Dean type RAT a reference to President Nixons lawyer, who testified (truthfully) about his bosss attempts to obstruct justice. And Trump has repeatedly argued that the U.S. attorney generals primary responsibility is to demonstrate unflinching loyalty to the president, as though the federal government was the Mafia and Trump its godfather.
Thus, Robert Muellers investigation was never going to reveal that the leader of the free world thinks like a mobster, as that was something we already knew. Nevertheless, the special counsels report does confirm that fact by detailing three previously unreported instances in which the presidents behavior was indistinguishable from that of a mafioso:
The president berated the White House counsel for keeping records on their interactions because lawyers dont take notes.
