Trump Embraces Comparison To Mafia Boss

Donald Trump

I'm not so sure this is really a compliment.

Donald Trump tweeted out a screen capture of a headline from The Drudge Report that read, "Call For Unity, Trump Approval 48%, Teflon Donald."

That last part is a riff on the moniker "Teflon Don," which was used to describe Mafia crime boss John Gotti, who the police could never seem to make charges stick to.

Until they did.

Gotti was charged, tried and thrown in the slammer in '92 where he stayed until his death in 2002.

So...there you go.

Looking forward to tonight! #SOTU pic.twitter.com/lGKkZeaxUZ
