fbi saw him meet tony salerno around oct 1985. he had dealing with frank narducci jr and sal testa does anyone know the names of Gambino members he was involved with in construction at the time. I doubt he met big paul or nick scarfo
He knew a guy named Robert LiButti who was with the Gambinos. Supposedly their relationship was only that of a casino owner and a high roller, but who knows?
Like many high profile New Yorkers has, I am sure interacted with organized crime members, This in no way , shape or form means he was involved with any of them.
Just like many and all other Politicians who go to fund raisers or community support organizations all are welcome.
This is exactly what is wrong with our system.
Nadler , Schumer, Pelosi and Shift Shift are the people who perfected this process and now want to denounce it.
The question was about Trump and what mob guys he knew and dealt with.
He came up in the 1980s and 90s in the construction industry in NYC. When you couldn’t pour a drop of concrete anywhere without an ok. So it’s not far-fetched that he dealt with many so and so’s. Take what from it what you will. It’s a fact.
It’s rumored he also had connections to the Russian mob and there was a book operation run of Trump Tower that got busted some years back if I recall correctly.

He's been linked to Salerno and Castellano, buying their cement to get around using union labor. Many believe this is how he got so many buildings up so fast. Famous mob lawyer Roy Cohn was both lawyer and mentor to him.
"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea

I agree. He had to know people simply because of the business he was in at the time. The Concrete Club had projects of any large size sewed up then, he pretty much had to deal with gangsters. Acknowledging that fact is neither supporting nor criticizing him, it's just the way it was then.

Exactly. Barack Obama's daughter interned with Harvey Weinstein, and Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein were donors to the Clintons. It doesn't necessarily imply anything further than that, unless you want it to. Same re: Trump and his tenuous personal links to mobsters.
I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.
There's a difference between being extorted and wilfully engaging in quid pro quos with mobsters to save money, circumvent union contracts, etc. Trump did the latter.

It seems like he did a corrupt deal like that during the interior demolition of the old Bonwit Teller building where Trump Tower is now. Undocumented Polish immigrants did some of the demolition,(including asbestos) and were paid less than minimum wage.

I don't know if that's true of not, it has nothing to do with the mob, so I really don't care. I believe Trump was a donor to Bill Clinton in the 90s for what it's worth.
I remember phil Leonetti saying a few years back Kellyanne conways grandfather had ties to scarfo and his crew and phil even went to his funeral. Kellyanne is counsler to the president position since 2017

Yes , he was a philly mob associate.
I'm pretty sure she has a shore house in Ventnor. .
It’s rumored he also had connections to the Russian mob and there was a book operation run of Trump Tower that got busted some years back if I recall correctly.
Russian mafia expert Mark Galeotti says it's all about greed. "I have seen no serious evidence of any explicit link between Trump and Russian mobsters. Rather, what I have seen is evidence of the extent to which the Trump Organization seems to have been willing to engage with dubious investors and buyers—some Russian, many not—whom more reputable corporations would not have touched," Galeotti told Vice.
Mafia and money laundering in the shadow of Donald Trump The Cosa Nostra bosses. Business with the US president. The billions stolen in Kazakhstan. And the Shalabayeva case in Italy. Here is the secret story of Mr. Felix, Donald's man in Moscow. With a million dollar track that leads to Lombardy
The Real-Life Mob Families of ‘The Irishman’? Donald Trump Knew Them. The president and his associates have long histories with the Mafia figures... - Rolling Stone
I only have one thing to say about every news article thats ever been posted about Trump's "alleged" connections to the mafia and organized crime. And that is that its all Bullshit, plain and simple! ......... 100% , in fact make that 101%
Did he pay "off" unions to ease labor conditions related to his constructing casinos in NJ and other buildings he built in NYC. Of course he did!!
There is NOBODY who builds in NYC or other major metropolitan areas in the NE that hasn't. Otherwise you don't build. Period!
But is he a "connected" guy? In any way, shape, or form? Absolutely not!... those questions are for all the whacky conspiracy theorists out there in the world.
Trump is considered a "sucker" by wiseguys, not an "associate" or ally. He's a jerk off.
And thats a fact!
Interacting with a "connected" guy such as a Bobby Sasso, etc., is just how things get done in NYC. It doesn't make the person a mob associate. It makes the person a "victim" in actuality.
I agree they used him, but he wasn't 'respected' by them.
Trump was (and is) a Billionaire, I think they used each other in that scenario
yes, sure trump benefited from mafia aid... In the early 1980s, the american cosa nostra inflated the price of cement and blocked construction sites that did not pay bribes with strikes, the concrete continued to arrive in large quantities and without delay only at donald trump's yards
