A snippet of information that our US friends may not know: in the 1980s Donald Trump applied for a casino licence in Australia. It was refused because after investigations it was found he was just a front man for the mafia.

Trump's bid for Sydney casino 30 years ago rejected due to 'mafia connections’

Cabinet documents reveal police warned NSW government about approving a 1986-87 plan to build city’s first casino in Darling Harbour
