Just something to amuse myself

I was looking up some info about Al Capone, and noticed that with a few tweaks, it could describe another public figure.

"Capone (Donald Trump) expanded the bootlegging business (Presidential powers) through increasingly violent means, but his mutually profitable relationships with mayor William Hale Thompson (Attorney General William Barr) and the city's police (GOP-controlled Senate) meant he seemed safe from law enforcement."

"Capone (Donald Trump) apparently reveled in attention, such as the cheers from spectators when he appeared at ball games (well, he got booed). He made donations to various charities (Stormy Daniels?) and was viewed by many as a "modern-day Robin Hood" ("President For Life&quot . However, the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre (Capitol Insurrection), in which seven gang rivals (a Capitol Law Enforcement Officer) were murdered in broad daylight, damaged the public image of Chicago and Capone (the GOP and Donald Trump), leading influential citizens (House Democrats) to demand government action and newspapers to dub Capone (Donald Trump) "Public Enemy No.1" (Only President with 2nd Impeachment)"
