Trumps casino business went bankrupt, and then a lawyer representing investors told police he got a menacing call from a man who said were going to your house for your wife and kids if he didnt stop fucking with Mr. Trump. The FBI determined the call came from a phone booth across the street from the theater where Trump was appearing on The Late Show with David Letterman.

When Donald Trumps casino business went bankrupt in 2009, a lawyer whose clients stood to lose more than a billion dollars told police and the FBI that he got a menacing phone call from a man with a thick New York accent who threatened his family.
My name is Carmine. I dont know why youre fucking with Mr. Trump but if you keep fucking with Mr. Trump, we know where you live and were going to your house for your wife and kids, the caller said, according to the account that the attorney, Kristopher Hansen, gave to the Holmdel police department in New Jersey. Hansen speculated that the caller was Trumps bodyguard.
According to FBI case notes, the phone call to Hansen was made at 2:05 p.m. on February 18, 2009, from a New York City telephone booth located across the street from the Ed Sullivan Theater, where Trump was a guest that day on The Late Show with David Letterman. Two former employees told BuzzFeed News that guests were typically asked to arrive between 2:30 and 3:00 to get ready for the show, which began taping at 4:30.
The incident, which has never before been made public, came at a time when Trump's signature mix of celebrity glamor and ruthless business tactics was on stark display. The implosion of his flagship casino company, Trump Entertainment Resorts, left many investors and contractors empty-handed. But Trump walked away from the wreckage, gilding his public image and largely denying responsibility. I wasnt involved at all in management, Trump told Letterman. Trump had been chairman of the board until five days earlier, and his daughter Ivanka had also been on the board.

Oh, and before the election multiple credible sources--including David Cay Johnston and several longtime NY journalists--were out there stating that dump was mobbed up. The corporate media--who was of course making $$$ off dump--gave them short or no shrift.
So, here we are--we have a thug con man president.
