Former President Donald Trump posed for picture with former Philly mob boss Joey Merlino at South Fl

They share an affinity for golf and an aversion to cooperating witnesses who “flip” to help federal investigators.

But former president Donald Trump and former Philly mob boss Joseph “Skinny Joey” Merlino don’t have much to say about how they wound up in a photo together at a South Florida golf course.

Trump posed for the photo with Merlino earlier this month at Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach. The two, along with an unidentified third man, flash Trump’s customary “thumbs-up” hand signs and smiles while wearing golfing attire.

1. Birds of a feather

Trump and Genevose family boss Fat Tony Salerno c. 1980.

The mafia were reputed to be among the top investors in Trump properties - before Cheeto turned to the Russians and Saudis.

3. Can a mob member please chop his damn thumb off?

I am so sick of that thumbs up gesture in every damn picture of him.

(This is a fantasy, so no need to castigate me for advocating violence.)

4. Skinny Joey was an ass on top of all his crimes

Not even pleasant he is a far cry from the affable mob of days past. I hate the rackets and killers all the same but at least they were civil in their communities. Not surprising those two turds were in orbit.
