That’s right, blame the unions instead of the unpalatability of the dozens of nutjobs gunning for the position led by the biggest nutbar, Larry Elder, who, if selected, would guarantee to turn California into another Texastan or Florida when it comes to Covid cases.
Meanwhile, one percenters John Kruger (golf apparel manufacturer), Geoff Palmer (real estate and Trump supporter), Douglas Leone (venture capitalist) and Stan Boyett (gasoline retailer) have financed a minority based recall effort.
I’ve spent years investigating, and here’s what’s known.
No other candidate for the White House this year has anything close to Trump’s record of repeated social and business dealings with mobsters, swindlers, and other crooks. Professor Douglas Brinkley, a presidential historian, said the closest historical example would be President Warren G. Harding and Teapot Dome, a bribery and bid-rigging scandal in which the interior secretary went to prison. But even that has a key difference: Harding’s associates were corrupt but otherwise legitimate businessmen, not mobsters and drug dealers.
This is part of the Donald Trump story that few know. As Barrett wrote in his book, Trump didn’t just do business with mobbed-up concrete companies: he also probably met personally with Salerno at the townhouse of notorious New York fixer Roy Cohn, in a meeting recounted by a Cohn staffer who told Barrett she was present. This came at a time when other developers in New York were pleading with the FBI to free them of mob control of the concrete business.
The Real-Life Mob Families of ‘The Irishman’? Donald Trump Knew Them
The president and his associates have long histories with the Mafia figures who populate Scorsese’s film
Back in the 1980s and 1990s, Trump’s buildings and his casinos attracted underworld figures like “Fat Tony” Salerno, the Fedora-wearing, cigar-chomping boss of the Genovese crime family. Salerno, who’s portrayed in the film by Domenick Lombardozzi, supplied the fast-drying concrete that built Trump Tower and other Trump properties. Salerno also controlled the local concrete workers union, and when a strike shut down construction in Manhattan in 1982, the one of the few buildings that wasn’t affected was Trump Tower.

A minority based recall seems to be the rights only way to “elect” a governor.
