Man, Trump really doesn't know how to delegate. I would think he would have lawyers for that kind of thing.

Yeah, but specific "classic" scenes? Maybe Luca Brasi. (I hear he sleeps with the fishes.)

I was wondering if Philip Rhys was related to Matthew Rhys, and then I googled and decided that no, no he is not.
