I’m going to see The Irishmen today, so been thinking about Scorcese & his mob glorification/portrayals and how they relate to Trump.
And I realized:
Donald Trump is Joe Pesci’s Tommy DeVito in Goodfellas. Thinks he’s a BFD, but in reality has no filter, no impulse control, & is

really just a small man trying to fill big shoes. A pretender.
Tommy DeVito was murdered the day he thought he was to become a “made man.”
Donald Trump’s dreams of being famous, popular and loved by the public (a made man, in his eyes) were shattered the day he won the election.

He didn’t know that then (or did he? Look at his face when he realized he won)
Had he lost, he would’ve gone on to do provokatsiya Trump TV & no one in MSM would’ve looked at his history of corrupt business practices, his money laundering for transnational

organized crime, his sanctions busting for Iranian dirty money, his tower of drug dealers & human traffickers in Panama, his affinity for Putin, his kids’ corruption, etc. The notoriety from the campaign, combined with the complete lack of scrutiny of him by the MSM would have

made him, effectively, a made man.
He would’ve been the media mogul he has always wanted to be.
But he didn’t lose the election.
And the day he won the election was the day he lost any chance of keeping his real self and his corruption in the shadows while his faux persona shone

in the spotlight of public adoration. His winning the election was the same as Pesci’s character killing Billy Batts without permission.
He violated the rules of the game.
And thus, the floodlights got turned on as soon as Trump “won” the election.
Let’s be real-the floodlights

should have turned on when he first announced his campaign-all his mob ties are illuminated in the fucking archives of 1970s-2015 NY Times-and that the MSM didn’t tell the public about it during the GOP primaries is something I will NEVER forgive our country’s fourth estate for-

but once he won, the floodlights were inevitable.
And the roaches scurrying in the floodlights have shown THE ENTIRE WORLD how corrupt, craven, incompetent, and stupid Donald Trump really is.
Getting booed at UFC last night was the equivalent-to Trump’s

ego-of Tommy DeVito’s fate in Goodfellas.
He broke the rules-then the rules broke him.
Everyone. Knows. How. Terrible. And. Stupid. He. Is.
THAT has ALWAYS been Trump’s biggest fear. And now, because he won the presidency, his terribleness will never never never be un-known.

It’s taken a long fucking time- too long-but here we are. Finally.
