I read a New York Times article yesterday about the Trump family business. It makes them look like something out of a Mario Puzo novel (he's the guy who wrote The Godfather). Trump is just like an Italian or Sicilian godfather. The relationships that Trump develops with people over long periods of time involving great loyalty are just like the kinds of relationships described by Puzo in The Godfather. Very often these people have little or no expertise when he draws them into his business. He sees something in them, but paramount is that they will be loyal to a fault. Trump's position in the business is exactly like The Godfather. He maintains the central position, has authority on all important decisions, makes sure to personally sign the big checks, etc. etc.
