Someone earlier today ptd out it was highly suggestive that Trump chose to have his #GreatGatsby soirée during the #WorldSeries b/c 1 of the book's main characters, Meyer Wolfsheim, was based on Arnold Rothstein - notorious gambler & gangster widely rumored to have fixed the #1919WorldSeries, which was itself a key event in the novel's plot.
It's like Trump poking his finger in the public's eye saying "you bet I'm a gangster - and what're you gonna do about it?"
