Trump: The Fifth Crime Family
My latest podcast episode
Donald Trump’s New York story isn’t just about gold-plated towers—it’s about shady deals, mob ties, bankruptcies, and the grift that built his so-called empire. In my latest episode, I sit down with Jonathan Mahler of The New York Times Magazine to dig into Trump’s corruption in New York real estate, his mob connections, and how those dirty deals shaped the man who would later seize the presidency. Together, we expose the Trump Tower backstory, the bankruptcy bailouts, and the pattern of fraud and scandal that defined Trump long before MAGA. This deep-dive connects the dots between Trump’s shady New York origins and the current chaos of his political empire, revealing how the same real estate scams, mafia ties, and financial fraud that fueled his rise are still driving his downfall today.
Trump was always seen by those of us growing up in NY as a grifter, a con, a fraud with the worst case of schlock. He never had credibility in his own backyard yet conned half of America that he’s a deeply religious man, heck has his own bible. But he might not lose a voter over his lecherous, lewd and immoral acts.
