New York construction, for starters. In 1988, Vincent “the Fish” Cafaro of the Genovese crime familytestified before a U.S. Senate committee concerning the Mafia’s control of building projects in New York. Construction unions and concrete contractors were deeply dirty, Cafaro confirmed, and four of the city’s five crime families worked cooperatively to keep it that way.
This would not have been news to Trump, whose early political mentor and personal lawyer was Roy Cohn, consigliere to such dons as Fat Tony Salerno and Carmine Galante. After Cohn guided the brash young developer through the gutters of city politics to win permits for Trump Plaza and Trump Tower, it happened that Trump elected to build primarily with concrete rather than steel. He bought the mud at inflated prices from S&A Concrete, co-owned by Cohn’s client Salerno and Paul Castellano, boss of the Gambino family.
Coincidence? Fuhgeddaboudit.

Trump? You mean Donald J «worse juridical treatment than Al Capone» Trump, himself? Shocking.

Unsurprisingly, that's mentioned in the column, that he invited the Mafia comparisons himself by talking about Manafort that way.
