Here's an excerpt for those who can't find the article...

"In 1981, four years before Trump opened his first casino, he met with a pair of FBI agents to “express his reservations about building a casino in Atlantic City,” according to an FBI memo. Trump told investigators that he “read in the press media and had heard from various acquaintances that Organized Crime elements were known to operate in Atlantic City.” Trump added that he wanted to build a casino, but “did not wish to tarnish his family’s name.” In a follow-up meeting, Trump told an FBI agent that he wanted to provide “full disclosure” during the construction of his casino, and even “suggested that [the FBI] use undercover Agents within the casino.”"

So obviously Trump was and is very street smart. He knew that he needed to choose masters, before one was chosen for him.

More than half of the article is going into deep detail concerning the criminal history of the two Colombo associates/members. Skimming the article, all I could see was that Trump got his limo ornaments from the Colombo guys through a licensing deal, and he made a public appearance or two with one of them. Correct me if I left out anything.
