Your Donald Trump to "Godfather" comparison brought to mind a recent Donald Trump to Al Capone comparison I penned just recently:
What if Al Capone had run for Mayor of Chicago following the 1929 “St. Valentines Day Massacre?”
Al Capone was to Chicago’s organized crime in the 1920’s, as Donald Trump is to the current “disorganized national political crime wave” in the United States of America.
History alleges that long time Chicago crime boss, Alphonse Capone ordered the murder of seven members of George “Bugs” Moran’s gang on February 14th, 1929, to eliminate competition with Capone’s own bootlegging operation and extensive criminal enterprises. (Think January 6th 2021.) What if Capone took that opportunity to proclaim that Chicago was under attack by outside criminal elements, and that he alone had the unique and singular ability to “Make Chicago Great Again.” Thus, giving birth to the “MCGA Movement.” Then sending his “associates” to see that only “qualified voter”: had access to the voting booth, and that his impartial poll watchers were in charge of counting the votes. Once Mayor Capone was installed in City Hall, he would begin replacing all sitting Judges (I’ll make them an offer they can’t refuse!) replacing them with more qualified candidates, those who were aligned with his “vision” of government. The next series of critical appointments would be the MCGA Police Commissioner, neighborhood Aldermen, and all police precinct Captains, thus ensuring that only Capone style “Domestic Tranquility” prevails, and that “undesirable elements” were removed, forcibly, if necessary, to Alcatraz.
Chicago was spared that hypothetical scenario in 1929. We as a nation, are not that fortunate in 2025.
Can't help but notice the lack of follow through from Trump with the hell to pay for Hamas for the hostages not being freed yet the entire onus is on Netanyahu here. 🤦🤷
Not an apt comparison, especially between Bibi and Solozzo. Don Vito and Solozzo were roughly equal in the Mafia world, at least in theory. Bibi is the junior partner in the relationship with Trump. Eventually Trump will rein Bibi in, as Biden did. Already he’s said to be demanding a hostage deal with Hamas before his trip.
