    Yes, that would have been my assumption as well. It’s the difference between buying mercenaries vs paying the mob “for protection”.

      The mob gives a better deal than Trump. With the mob it’s, “Give us money or we won’t protect you from a rival gang burning your house.” With Trump it’s, “Pay me and I’m going to let the other gang burn your house.”
