If all of them weren't demented killers, which famous Mafia Don would've made a decent POTUS?

Possibly Meyer Lansky. He was said to be good at managing organized crime’s money.

Leave it to YOU to make me google to see if he killed anyone - and there's no proof he ever did.

I think this man should've run. Then again, his ancestry... even today that would be a major hurdle :(

@rinkydinkydoink Everything I’ve read about him indicates that he was basically decent, and a product of his times and circumstances. Had he been born later in the century, he probably wouldn’t have been involved in organized crime at all.

An interesting man played badly by the noted acting teacher Lee Strasberg as Hyman Roth in The Godfather ll

@rinkydinkydoink Ahh, was that who that character was supposed to represent ? Lansky seemed much more lowkey.

Google it - - read about how Lee Strasberg was a lousy actor, too LOL

EDIT - - okay, maybe not a lousy actor but if he were his own student I don't believe the teacher in him would be too happy 😆
