Donald Trump Thanks Mobster Sammy the Bull for Calling Him 'Legitimate'

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 ex Prez sent a shoutout to the former Gambino crime family underboss on Truth Social reacting to a clip of an interview Sammy recently did on VladTV where he discussed once trying to "get to" DT back in the day ...

when he was just a big time developer in NYC. As Sammy explains, he was able to press a lot of real estate dudes in the game during that time and have his way with them ... but, apparently, Donny himself wasn't having it. STB goes so far as to say that despite repeated attempts to get into business with Trump and getting rebuffed at each stop he decided Don was "legitimate" and moved on.

It's certainly an interesting anecdote, but Trump loved the "praise" ... and made it known online. Trump wrote in response, "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!" The robes he's referring to here are the ones overseeing a couple of his cases at the moment, BTW ...

he seems to think they need to take a cue from Sam on morality. Of course, the backdrop to this is Trump being in court on a number of different fronts as we head toward the '24 election. He's being prosecuted criminally, and being sued civilly too. NY's Attorney General, Letitia James, for example claims DT is totally corrupt and a very shady business guy ...

something she and her team have been trying to prove in court. Trump, however, is pointing to Sammy as evidence that that isn't true ... so there you go..
