7. Because Trump is a wannabe.

Trump would have been eaten alive in real organized crime. He would have at best, been a "street level thug" if that. What has propelled Trump to any status he has had, was his family's money and the desire of other people to use him as a vehicle for their own gain.

The man has some ability to manipulate other stupid people, but he is in fact a STUPID man. Little impulse control and no real idea of how to be effective in anything. He has been propped up by the people around him his entire life.

He has been able to remain relatively unscathed in his life because he was operating in the parameters his money allowed him to. Getting himself into the White House was the worst thing for him. Much too deep water for a man of his abilities to swim in. We are seeing the results of Trump's limitations. If he had stayed out of office, he would have been remembered as a celebrity in the 1980's who portrayed himself as a real estate mogul, had a resurgence of his notoriety in the 2000's with a television show, and had several failed business attempts.

Now, he will be remembered as one of, if not the worst president in US history, the most corrupt person to ever hold such office, and generally a scumbag who almost tore the United States apart.
