Ex New York mafia boss heaps praises on Donald Trump as US votes: 'He is a gangster'
Notorious former mafia boss-turned-witness Salvatore “Sammy the Bull” Gravano had praised former President Donald Trump and called him a "gangster". In a video, shared on his YouTube account which has over 600,000 subscribers, the ex-mafioso talked about the time he tried to bribe Trump.
“You can’t bribe him. I was in the mob, I tried to bribe him, never worked. Never, never worked. And it was beneficial to him, he just wouldn’t do it,” he said, adding that in Trump's mind, personal financial gain is the "furthest thing".
He said that the Republican candidate, who is the first US president charged with criminal activity, is looking to "straighten the country out."

The former mafia boss said that he did not care if the presidential nominee was a man or a woman and was only focussed on their policies, adding that he preferred Trump due to his business acumen.
"And I don’t care if it’s a man or a woman, whether they’re good-looking, ugly, skinny, fat, I don’t care about none of that — what color they are. I care about their policies. Trump is a businessman, his policies are great, he’s a tough guy,” he said, adding that he will call Trump a gangster.
“He is a gangster. We need a gangster,” he added.
