Not got the charisma or nous of Tony Soprano
Just the morals

jamiefford.bsky.social•3 hours ago

But surely,Tony Soprano had more scruples?

barrettrob.bsky.social•4 hours ago

No, Tony Soprano had a moral base, of sorts.

forbin17.bsky.social•4 hours ago

He’s like the last episode. Everyone hates him.

danball57.bsky.social•4 hours ago

Nah he's more like Richie Aprile

That is a major discourtesy to TS.

No way, Tony Soprano was liked!

That's an insult to the Mafia. 😹😹😹

Tony Soprano was cool. Trump is the worst, old fart, smelling of shit because he crapped himself.

I’ve said this a few time the current administration are old fashioned mobsters running a protection racket, but trying to do it on a global scale. Trump is like Brad Wesley in Road House (1989), Tony Soprano is too sophisticated a character to be compared to the Trumpster.

Tony Soprano is a saint in comparison.

anettlem.bsky.social•4 hours ago

Brilliant observation.

sjdmb.bsky.social•4 hours ago

Please stop.
He’s Sal Bompinsero at best. Or Maybe Brendan Fallone.

We need more movies about dumb mafiosi for people to draw analogies from. Trump is Fredo Corleone at best.

Unfortunately that will thrill Felon 47 to be compared to a mob boss. And it’s not really far from the truth: He lies, abuses women, cheats, circumvents the law, has everyone around him doing his dirty work, and threatens revenge on his “enemies”.

Tony Soprano could however, string a sentence together

benwasserman.bsky.social•4 hours ago

At least Tony Soprano mostly gave a shit about his family.

mariakuhn.bsky.social•4 hours ago

No, no, no. Please don't insult the Italians. Trump is a big baby wearing soiled diapers. Nothing more.

ciaregan.bsky.social•4 hours ago

What an insult to Tony!

yourilegod.bsky.social•2 hours ago

Nowhere near as clever and engaging.

Except soprano wasn't a whiney little weak fat old "man"

yilmazak.bsky.social•4 hours ago

MAGA will take it as a compliment.

That’s not fair, Tony Soprano had a heart, cared about his family and hated people who abused women.

suenet.bsky.social•4 hours ago

I never saw the Sopranos,, but I suspect Trump would like that. He's always been a wannabe mobster don.

azurevista.bsky.social•4 hours ago

He's a lot better than Tony Bliar who encouraged George Bush to attack Afghans & Pakistanis for a terrorist attack funded, planned, & carried out by Gulf Arabs.

As thanks from the Gulf Arab despots, the Bliar's received $150 million for their 'foundation'.

marypsych.bsky.social•4 hours ago

Noooo Tony had a heart and followed some sort of mafia code. Trump is a narcissistic sociopath with delusions of grandiosity and paranoia. He is also immensely vengeful and any revenge is not predicated on any code just his own cruelly motivated rationalised feelings.

montyandalfie.bsky.social•4 hours ago

Tony Soprano wasn't an idiot, and despite being a fictional character he had a lot more substance than trump

grifro74.bsky.social•2 hours ago

Oh dick-tatie will love that comparison. He’s a legend in his own mind

worcestercourt.bsky.social•4 hours ago

I don’t think it’s fair to compare Trump to Tony Soprano. Tony Soprano could actually string a sentence together.

ninagallety.bsky.social•4 hours ago

Trump will probably think it’s a compliment

Tony was smarter. Just as mean, but smarter

PS👏TY Great post

Dems are being out messaged by MAGA

Extremely important to have a unified platform and messaging against this corrupt administration. Stronger together same consistent messaging. Every single democrat should speak out and block this tyranny.
Same voice and message.
