Mod: OK, here goes. Donald Trump had a henchman who literally said he would kill for him. The henchman's name was Matthew Calamari. He is a real life person and not just an actor playing a fictional henchman named ... Matthew Calamari. He wants to make you sleep with the fishes. Pass the orzo, please.

When Cohen made mention of Calamari—saying he was one of a few men who knows that President Trump provided inflated assets to insurance companies—people patently refused to believe such a man could exist. Such a name, any logical human would argue, is just too on-the-nose for the kind of two-bit cronyism going on in the Trump Organization.
But, as many soon discovered, Matthew Calamari is somehow not the creation of a Sopranos Name Generator. He is, in fact, a real person. What’s more, he looks, sounds, and acts exactly how you would imagine a Matthew Calamari would. There is a clip of him from the live season two finale of The Apprentice, in which he cringingly struggles to formulate a sentence about why he’d prefer one contestant over the other.

Over the years, Calamari moved his way up the Trump Organization ladder, first becoming security director for Trump Tower in New York and, in a massive leap, executive vice president of the entire business operation. He’s been cited in numerous Trump biographies for his fierce loyalty to the president and even once admitted his willingness to kill for the man. So, yeah, not a genius.
Mod: There is also this.
