Donald Trump just got a cosign on his upstanding character — but he received it from none other than a notorious mobster in Sammy the Bull … and yet, he’s still pretty thankful.
The former President expressed his gratitude to the former Gambino crime family underboss on Truth Social. Reacting to a clip of an interview Sammy recently did on VladTV, where Sammy discussed attempting to engage with Trump back when he was a prominent developer in NYC.
Sammy explained that he was able to influence many real estate figures in the industry during that period, except for Trump, who stood his ground.
Despite numerous attempts to enter into business with Trump and being turned down each time, Sammy acknowledged Trump’s integrity and moved on. Trump appreciated the acknowledgment and expressed his gratitude online.
Trump responded, “Thank you to Sammy the Bull. I hope Judges Engoron & Kaplan see this. We need fairness, strength and honesty in our New York Courts. We don’t have it now!” He was referring to the judges overseeing a couple of his current cases.
- The context here is that Trump is currently facing legal challenges on various fronts as the ’24 election approaches. He is facing criminal prosecution and civil lawsuits.
New York’s Attorney General, Letitia James, alleges that Trump is corrupt and involved in questionable business practices, something her team is striving to demonstrate in court.
Trump, on the other hand, is using Sammy’s statement as evidence to counter these claims.
