“As you plow through the sprawling document detailing the scheme, stretching from Arizona to Washington to Atlanta, there are some striking similarities between the Soprano crew leader's actions and the alleged real-life operation led by the ex-president who just also happens to be the runaway favorite for the GOP presidential nomination in 2024. Both operations relied on the tactics of witness tampering, intimidation, theft and even impersonating public officers. Both were consumed with maintaining power regardless of the collateral damage to those around them. … But in this comparison between the real world and television make-believe — a realm where Trump thrived before running for president — there are some stark differences. Tony ran a crew of seasoned thugs and managed the competing factions with Machiavellian shrewdness. Trump ran a crew of white-collar goons and crackpots who — metaphorically speaking, of course — couldn't shoot straight. They made moves that would have been laughed right out of Satriale’s Pork Store — even if most of Tony’s crew would probably have been reliable MAGA voters. For one thing, Tony or his lieutenants would never be so stupid as to shake down a person of significance over the phone, as Trump is accused of doing.”
