Truman, Trump, and Mafia Candor

When Donald Trump is accused of doing something untoward, such as not paying his taxes, he says, "That makes me smart." Love him or hate him, he may be right. Trump has been equally audacious in how he talks about dealing with organized crime during his business career: He admits it. Repeatedly, including referring to mobsters as "very nice people" on David Letterman's late-night TV show.
