US President Donald Trump and the former Mayor of New York City, Rudy Giuliani reportedly made a cameo appearance in the recently released Netflix's Mafia documentary titled Fear City: New York vs The Mafia. According to media reports, the 45th US President goes on to make only some hit-and-miss appearances in the three-part documentary which narrates the struggle to eradicate the New York mafia in the 1980s. The show chronicles the time when New York was under the control of mafia families.
