We're right into the impeachment inquiry into Donald Trump, and the "mob boss" comparisons are appearing all over the joint, popping up like a surprise a horse head in your bed.
MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace compared Trump's behaviour to that seen in The Sopranos, saying the president "sought to run U.S. foreign policy the way Tony Soprano ran his crime family," while other commentators referred to The Godfather's Don Corleone, mob bosses, mobsters, and the Mafia in general when discussing Trump's actions.
"Oh yeah, Trump really sees himself as a tough guy mobster," The Late Show host Stephen Colbert quipped on Thursday night, jumping into his signature Trump impression for a perfect Godfather zinger. "'Leave the gun, and if you take the cannoli, I'm gonna shoot you with the gun.'"
But the Godfather references did not stop there.
"So, Trump fancies himself a Don, but the only mobster Trump is even remotely close to is Fredo," Colbert said. "Actually, you know what? I should apologise, that was not fair... to Fredo. Fredo's casino did not go bankrupt."
