  Trump got all the cheat codes and is on easy mode. If even one real challenge came his way he would crumple like the house of cards he is.
context: Yeah, that's how the mob works.  Middle and lower guys get the heat for the boss, usually with the promise that they'll be taken care of once they get out.
  Note that I said, "usually."  Trump obviously has no sense of loyalty beyond what people will do for him. >
  
  The irony is that the lower and middle guys often work with the investigators to turn on the boss in order to avoid severe punishment, and the end result is the bosses still don't get charged unless another gang starts bribing the prosecution. Giuliani made a big deal about prosecuting the mob, but in doing so he conveniently created a power vacuum that allowed the Russian Mob to move in. A Russian mob that could put him and other prominent shady New Yorkers into contact with Russian oligarchs. >
  
  Damn. I initially read this as Kushner. >
  
  It’s just like Trump operated like some kind of mob boss.
