It’s well-known that Donald Trump’s nickname is “The Donald.” Maybe it should be changed to “Don” Trump, as in Don Corleone, or Don Ciccio — pick your crime boss from The Godfather. Because that’s exactly what he sounds like.

On Saturday’s Fox and Friends, Trump called into the program (for what must be the 5,238th time), explaining that he lost delegates to Ted Cruz in Colorado because he didn’t “want to waste millions of dollars going out to Colorado knowing the system is rigged. I don’t want to waste millions of dollars going out to Wyoming many months before to wine and dine and essentially pay off all these people. Because a lot if it’s a payoff, you understand that. They [candidates] treat them [delegates], they take them to dinner, they get them hotels. I mean the whole thing’s a big payoff. It has nothing to do with democracy.”

That’s rich, coming from the guy who boasted last year, “I give to everybody. They do whatever I want. It’s true.”

Trump then upped the ante in his attacks on the Republican delegate system with threats of a “rough July” if the RNC doesn’t “straighten out” the delegate system.

Shorter Trump: I’d better win, or else.

This isn’t the only time Trump has made not-so-veiled threats to the Republican party.
