Game Over: Donald Trump 4, Alphonse Capone 1 [1]

Trump was at it again, to no one’s surprise, at a Reno, Nevada campaign stop. He seems to have temporarily moved on from his recent fascination with the wit and wisdom of Putin and Hitler. Calling Al Capone “great,” Trump boasted that he had been indicted 4 times while Capone had only garnered one indictment (but I’ll leave it to you to fact check Trump’s indictment tally for Capone). Which seems like Cleveland claiming superiority over Pittsburgh based on the number of rivers that had caught fire: Cleveland 1, Pittsburgh 0.

From the Hill:

“Did anybody ever hear of the great Alphonse Capone, Al Capone, great, great head of the mafia, right? Mean, Scarface. He had a scar that went from here to here, and he didn’t mind at all. But he was a rough guy,” Trump said to the crowd of his supporters. “If he had dinner with you and if he didn’t like the way you smiled at him at dinner, he would kill you. You’d be dead. By the time you walked out of the nice restaurant, you would be dead,” Trump said of Capone. “He got indicted once. I got indicted four times.” “Over bulls—, I got indicted,” Trump added.

Clearly, then, Trump is tougher and more of a mobster than even the great, great Scarface. Don’t even think of smiling the wrong way at Trump in the middle of Fifth Avenue. And don’t get him started on nukes in Term 2.

Term 2? Is this the kind of braggadocio that wins the general election?
