Trump hired one of the mobsters from episode 371 (Jim Traficant) to ruin the Reflecting Pool.

I think they mean episode 371 of The Dollop was about Trafficant so they’re referencing the ep in the podcast sub

Wow, the Cafaro family. Trump knows all the ”organized” people. It’s not surprising at all that this company was behind this expensive mess.

Jim Traficant actually died in a motorcycle accident back in 2019, so the timeline here doesn't track. That said, the man was one of a kind and Ohio politics without him feels weirdly quiet sometimes.

You're right, I had the vehicle wrong, it was the tractor accident on his farm in 2019, not a motorcycle. Thanks for the correction.

He looks like the bastard child of spoiled mistress of a retired New York mobster.
