Calling Trump 'like a crime boss' is a little too much even for me. And I've been hit big time in G&M postings. 

Look Sarah let me tell you from an outsider viewpoint. Since I was old enough to watch politics back in the 50's, American politics has been top-of-the-world in dirtiness and deadliness. We now know who assassinated JFK - the Intelligence Deep State in conspiracy with others including the Mafia. Because he wanted to stop the Vietnam War and the Cold War.  We know why they hit Nixon 'like a crook' - he wanted to be pals with China. The extreme dirtiness of the politics is for all to see. 

Since Reagan, every POTUS, duly elected by a democratic system has been subject of immediate and unrelenting overthrow by this enemies the biggest of which is the other party. 

Each party main goal in life is overthrow the president of the other party. Denying the result of democracy. Trump played the Birther game of Obama, said he was 'illegal'. Now they play the Russian game on Trump.
