Anon noticed in notables many breads back,
connection between Trump and 'mob families'
I have it saved to read,
but wanted to share a story I have about Trump.
I was nextdoor neighbor as a little anon to a person named Mark Davis (thats the name I knew him as)
Mark was a good friend of our family, he took me on a ski trip for my 9th birthday.
Mark Davis is the son of Jack Davis; of Resorts International fame;
"…
Huntington Hartford met James M. Crosby (1927–1986) through Huntington's bodyguard Sy Alter. Sy Alter met Jim Crosby at the Colony Club in Palm Beach. Huntington Hartford obtained the gambling licence for Paradise Island and included Jim Crosby as an extra investor. Jim Crosby and Jack Davis then formed a company, Resorts International, to continue developing Paradise Island.
…"
If you dont know;
Paradise Island is an island in the Bahamas, and was famous for the Trump owned Taj Mahal back in the late 80's (among other things)
"…
Crosbydied unexpectedlyin April 1986, and Resorts International became a takeover target.[24] The Taj Mahal had encountered construction problems, and Crosby's heirs, lacking experience in large development projects, doubted their ability to complete it successfully.[25] Real estate developer Donald Trump, who owned two Atlantic City casinos, beat out several other bidders to purchase a controlling stake in the company from Crosby's family for $79 million in July 1987.[26] Trump was appointed chairman of Resorts International, and said he would complete the Taj Mahal in about a year.[26]
…"
So, yeah, Crosby dies "unexpectedly"
And just before this, Jack Davis's wife (my neighbors mother) was killed in an unsanctioned mob hit.
(If I ever find sauce for this, I will post it, but the story was "known" among my family.)
as I heard it, "the Family" was incredibly upset about this, and it was a VERY BIG DEAL, with extensive repracussions
the killing of wives and children is STRICTLY forbidden
Mark Davis was just graduating high school
and his father, Jack, had a BIT on his plate, what with his wife, and his lifelong friend and business partner dead in 'mob related activites', a resort and casino to run, etc.
being part of the palm beach upper crust, Jack was also a very good friend of Donald Trump
The Trump and the Davis family vacationed together every winter, almost always a ski'ing trip somewhere, Aspen, Sugarloaf, Saint Moritz, Tahoe, etc
When Trump found out about what had happened to Jack, without a word, Trump took Mark under his wing
Trump put him up at college (Georgetown), paid for it all, and the most important part,
was a FATHER to Mark while Marks own father picked up the pieces of his broken life.
Obviously Trump helped his friend pick up the financial pieces of his development legacy,
But, what this anons finds so memorable, is Trump stepping up to do the right thing.
To be a father to a growing man who was not his own child, and to treat this man as his own child.
