Trump's First Casino Partners Had Alleged Mob Ties...

Donald Trump has boasted that his casinos are free of the taint of organized crime, using this claim to distinguish his gambling ventures from competitors. But Trump's casinos turn out not to be so squeaky clean.

As the famously brash developer now considers a run for the presidency, this history could complicate his efforts to project an image of a trusted power in the business world. It exposes a seamy underside to Trump's rise to fortune -- one that involved intimate links to unsavory characters.

3. In my book owning a casino in the first place is bad enough.

Exploiting people is exploiting people.

4. It won't be long before he ironically demands more privacy.

He doesn't seem to be the kind of person who welcomes increased scrutiny into his public or private life, preferring to be the examiner instead of the examined. After a lifetime of the media accepting him at face value, plus a couple years of the cameras focusing on a fake TV image, he may be in for a rude awakening.

Will they go away and leave him alone after he predictably drops out, or has he opened a door that blew away in the wind?

On edit: I know he likes the cameras displaying his public image, but in the past he controlled the content.

5. I agree, I can see Trump asking the MSM to backoff once they start...

6. He has no intention of running for president
