When we think of the past four years of the Trump administration, the analogies to The Godfather come
immediately to mind. The reality truly reflects the sometimes magisterial and always violent family saga of the large organized crime familyBut what about for the foot soldiers that have been corrupted by Trump? Those who have taken on his imprimatur to lie, steal and cheat. To understand them, we need to go back 30 years and look at Nicholas Pileggi's Wise guys, later to become the movie Goodfellas.
The movie was iconic and perhaps we could have learned form from it. Glenn Kenny digs keep into the movie, and those lessons in his book Made Men: The Story of Goodfellas
