Philadelphia ex-mob boss Joseph “Skinny Joey” Merlino said former President Donald Trump didn’t know who he was when he posed for a photograph with him earlier this month at Trump International Golf Course in Florida.
“The guy had no idea who I was,” Merlino said in a brief phone interview with The Philadelphia Inquirer on Monday. “I’m a golfer. There were 100 people in line waiting to take pictures. He takes pictures with everybody. He’s the nicest guy in the world.”
He called Mr. Trump “the greatest president we’ve ever had.”
Mr. Trump posed for the photo with Merlino at the club in West Palm Beach.
