Former President Donald Trump waxed poetical about hit jobs during a campaign rally where he praised Al Capone and theorized how the notorious gangster would have killed Mike Lindell.
Trump told the crowd in North Carolina Sunday afternoon about what he thought might have occurred if Alphonse "Scarface" Capone, wasn't dead, stayed at the MyPillow CEO's home and didn't appreciate his product.
"I've been under investigation more than the late, great Alphonse Capone," Trump said. "He's a lovely man."
Trump then detailed a date night between the election conspiracy theory-pushing MyPillow chief and Prohibition era gangster that didn't end well for his ally.

"If he was with Mike Lindell for dinner and Mike offered him a couple of pillows, and if he didn't sleep well because he didn't like Mike's pillows, Mike had almost no chance of living," Trump said.
"He would dispose of Mike somewhere in a foundation of a building or something. You would never see Mike again."
This is why Lindell was likely pleased he was not a friend of Capone's, who died in 1947, Trump said.
"Mike does not want to have dinner with Scarface," Trump said. "I've been under investigation, Mike, more than Scarface. Can you believe it?"
Trump then highlighted a characteristic of Capone's, whom he referred to by first name, without expressing disapproval.
"Alphonse the meanest of them all," Trump said. "If he didn't like somebody, it was over."
