№ 403: Compare And Contrast: Donald and Gotti

Guardian: This mafia style of government makes Trump a role model for all autocrats
More than 18 months into his presidency, Donald Trump’s modus operandi – and the danger it represents – is clear. His working method is that of the mafia boss and gangland chieftain, daily wielding his power to settle scores, teach lessons and crush dissent. Anyone who’s seen The Sopranos will know the routine: the casual intimidation, the obsession with loyalty, the brutal ostracism meted out to those who dare defy the man at the top.

What is the diff 'twixt
Donald and Gotti?
Other than only one's dead.
I give you great hair
and mouths from the potty.
What more can there be said?
Both genuine “men”,
but here's the thing:
Donald's a germophobe,
you can't kiss his “ring”.
