@CiaraNi@mastodon.green @liebach@mastodon.art I think this sums up the position they were in '“If you want to applaud, you applaud,” Trump said at the start of the speech, noting how silent the generals and admirals were. He then added in a joking tone: “If you don’t like what I’m saying, you can leave the room. Of course, there goes your rank. There goes your future.”' https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/30/politics/quantico-trump-generals-admirals-military
Donald Trump's attempt to silence Jimmy Kimmel backfired in a massive way. Trump admitted, "'I want him canceled'" , but the move only caused a 10,000% spike in Google searches for the show and gave Kimmel's return monologue 12 million views. In response, Trump issued a mob-boss-like threat to ABC, gloating about a previous lawsuit.'

Trump’s Mob Boss Evolution: From Campaign Rhetoric to Governance Reality – September 2025 Report
Trump’s Mob Boss Evolution: From Campaign Rhetoric to Governance Reality
Trump’s Mob Boss Evolution: From Campaign Rhetoric to Governance Reality
An analysis of escalating authoritarian patterns, November 2024 – September 2025
The period following Donald Trump’s 2024 electoral victory has witnessed not merely a continuation of mob boss-style leadership patterns, but their further institutionalization. The evidence suggests Trump has moved beyond exhibiting similarities to organized crime leadership to actively implementing what can only be characterized as systematic gangster governance.
The Loyalty Racket: Rewards and Punishments
Trump’s loyalty enforcement system has become institutionalized through dramatic gestures of reward and punishment. His January 20, 2025 blanket pardons for nearly 1,600 January 6 defendants represented the most sweeping presidential clemency in modern history (Wikipedia: Pardon of January 6 United States Capitol attack defendants). The impulsive nature of this decision—reportedly made with the declaration “Fuck it: Release ’em all”—reveals the personal, transactional character of Trump’s justice system.
Simultaneously, Trump has systematically punished perceived disloyalty. Within hours of inauguration, he revoked security clearances for 50 officials who had questioned his narratives, including former CIA directors John Brennan and Leon Panetta (Wikipedia: Targeting of political opponents and civil society under the second Trump administration). More concerning, he removed Secret Service protection from former national security adviser John Bolton despite ongoing Iranian assassination threats—a move that sends an unmistakable message about the costs of crossing Trump.
Government as Protection Racket
The transformation of federal agencies into personal enforcement tools represents Trump’s most significant evolution toward mob boss governance. The creation of Attorney General Pam Bondi’s “Weaponization Working Group” formalized the administration’s commitment to targeting political opponents (ABC News). As one astute analysis noted, “The weapon of choice is not the garrote or the gun hidden behind the toilet but the threat of investigation” (Washington Monthly).
This systematic weaponization includes pressure campaigns against federal prosecutors to fabricate charges against New York Attorney General Letitia James for alleged mortgage fraud, Trump’s public demands that Bondi “move quickly to prosecute figures he considers his enemies,” and the firing of U.S. attorneys who refused to pursue politically motivated cases (New York Times).
Media Omerta: Silencing the Press
Trump’s assault on press freedom has acquired distinctly authoritarian characteristics. The administration has threatened to revoke broadcast licenses from networks hosting shows critical of Trump, specifically targeting Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night program (Rolling Stone). The Pentagon now requires journalists seeking press credentials to agree not to gather information that hasn’t been officially sanctioned—effectively eliminating a fundamental aspect of investigative reporting (PBS NewsHour).
Legal Immunity: The Don’s Protection
The Supreme Court’s decision in Trump v. United States has provided unprecedented legal protection for Trump’s mob boss-style operations. Chief Justice Roberts ruled that the president has “exclusive authority over the investigative and prosecutorial functions of the Justice Department,” effectively granting Trump untouchable power to investigate and prosecute anyone (Mother Jones). Legal scholars note this decision explicitly permits “sham investigations and prosecutions” that have no lawful basis, fundamentally altering the relationship between presidential power and the rule of law.
The Family Business
Trump continues to prioritize family loyalty over legal propriety, nominating Charles Kushner—previously convicted of tax evasion and witness tampering involving prostitutes and blackmail—as ambassador to France (The Nation). This appointment, along with his tolerance for officials accused of sexual misconduct, reinforces the pattern of surrounding himself with compromised loyalists who depend on his protection.
Conclusion: The Escalation is Real
The evidence overwhelmingly demonstrates that Trump’s mob boss behavior has not only continued but significantly intensified since November 2024. Unlike his first term, where such patterns remained largely rhetorical, Trump now possesses Supreme Court immunity, loyal appointees throughout the Justice Department, and systematic organizational structures designed to reward supporters and punish enemies.
This represents a qualitative shift from mob boss-style politics to mob boss-style governance. As former Gambino underboss Salvatore “Sammy the Bull” Gravano declared in endorsing Trump: “I’m gonna call him a gangster. We need a gangster.” The American people may not have fully understood what they were voting for, but the transformation is now undeniable.

Indiana Gov. Mike Braun said he’s concerned that his state could face political ramifications — potentially, a loss of federal benefits — unless it forces through a mid-decade redraw of its congressional districts ahead of next year’s midterms.

First in Ukraine, now in Hungary, the Russian mafia state blasts American-owned, non-military companies. This is a price we're paying because a demented rapist and conman who gets "all the money we need from Russia" was elected to the American presidency TWICE!
As tech stocks plummet because right-wing bastards sold gigantically expensive digital collators they branded as LLM AI to fools WHO NEVER LISTEN TO GUYS WHO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT WHEN THEY WARN THEM THEY ARE IDIOTS!
Personal experience speaking there. Hi, Ken!
Have we responded yet? Oh. No. The dictator intends to strut around DC with cops, ICE, and maybe military brass, certainly with his SoD, looking for Black people to beat up.
Besides, there is a new Epstein throwing child rape parties for the rich and powerful. You don't imagine their rancid desires ever faded, did you, naive person? When they're not in session, where is your representative's dick?
This country is gone.

15 workers at a U.S.-owned coffee machine factory near Hungary were injured this morning by Russian cruise missiles. (H/t to @benroyce@mastodon.social for the original share.) https://www.npr.org/2025/08/21/g-s1-84146/russia-ukraine-american-factory
"And while Trump was clapping and grinning like a fool, air raid sirens were screaming in Kyiv, signaling incoming Russian missiles and drones. Russian state TV is openly mocking us, bragging about Putin’s joyride through Alaska and Trump getting off Air Force One first, a symbolic act of deference in diplomatic protocol."

The policies – such as tariffs – of President Trump make way more sense when you consider how he must view himself: A Mobster.
Wanna do business with the US? The Mobster gets a taste of that business (yes, even though us fellow citizens pay the tax).
Don’t like the news? Remove the news media from the room.
Don’t like the data coming out of your underlings? Fire the underling.
Don’t like the fact that universities offer diversity and challenge? Threaten and sue and then extract your taste – cause you are The Mobster.
It won’t make America great but it will make us broke, disrespected, and broken.
Convicted felon and mobster says what?
