Did Rudy Giuliani want the Secretary of State in Trumps Cabinet? You know he did. It wouldnt surprise me a bit it someone has secret video of Rudy on his knees kissing Donalds feet as he begged for the job. In the latest version of the reality show, The Apprentice, Phase 3 The Cabinet Picks, Giuliani made a public play for the job. In spectacle rarely seen in this setting allies like Kellyanne Conway publicly lobbied for him. In an interview, Giuliani himself strongly implied he was the best qualified.
Now we know why Rudy, formally idolized as Americas Mayor for his service in New York City during the 9/11 crisis, took on the lowly job of being the chief Trump-plainer during The Donaldss tumultuous Presidential campaign. Regardless how outrageous Trumps latest behavior, statement, or Tweet, there was Rudy Giuliani on CNN turning himself into a human pretzel as he tried to explain away his friends ridiculous behavior. Surely he knew that everyone was aware that he was spouting BS of the highest order. In the wake of the Access Hollywood tape reveal, there was the former federal prosecutor doing verbal gymnastics on the cable news show trying to defend the indefensible and labeling the numerous women who accused Trump of sexual assaults as opportunistic liars. Surely Giuliani didnt continually act the fool just because Trump was his long time buddy.
You know that the subject had to have come between Trump and Giuliani early on. It was plain that Rudy believe the job was his for the taking, his just reward for playing the part of Trumps court jester. There had to be a reason for his confidence.
Giuliani was a close confident and advisor of Trump from very early stages of the campaign. Time and time again he must have watched Trump lie on every conceivable subject and make promises to his supporters that he never had any intention of keeping. Surely he realized that Trump told so many lies that he couldnt keep them all straight, so contradicted himself all of the time. Why then did Rudy Giuliani believe that any promises Trump made to him would be kept?

Wounded Bear
(60,695 posts)I doubt he was ever really happy anyway. Why should now be different?
CajunBlazer
(5,648 posts)....he is not as rich as he pretends to be and he has spent a lot of his readily available cash on his campaign. Word is that Trump is in debt up to his eyeballs. Giuliani is already getting plenty of money from foreign countries for his "consulting" work. Conflicts of interests would have dogged his confirmation hearings if Trump would have nominated for SoS.
Zambero
(9,766 posts)A prologue. Slap! And all this time Rudy thought Trump was a "gentleman".
Wabbajack_
(1,300 posts)Did Ted Cruz or someone else not use that to beat Trump in the primary?
Kittycow
(2,396 posts)he should testify under immunity about Putin and tRump. Save the country AND get even!
triron
(22,240 posts)he knew that Russia was hacking and continuing to hack the election before it happened!
How did he know???
CajunBlazer
(5,648 posts)....Giuliani apparently knew that Comey was going to release "the investigation has been reopened" before it was sent to Congress.

(5,648 posts).....all of the foreign governments his firm has consulted with around the globe. Can you say conflict of interests.
First Speaker
(4,858 posts)...he was doing something else to a different part of Trump's anatomy...

(5,648 posts)I would compromise with "licking his boots"
oasis
(51,705 posts)Redstate deplorables are next up to get the boot. That'll be extra fun to watch.
CajunBlazer
(5,648 posts)But at least we got a real good look at how nasty he really is.
I don't see "red state deplorables" getting the boot, but I do see a growing anger from that group as Trump continues to nominate big business leaders and Putin lovers to his cabinet. Trump promised to be the champion of the workers and he is putting their enemies in charge and people in red states continue to see Russia and and Putin as evil.

(12,448 posts)as we speak. He's as vindictive as Trump; he won't take this without striking back. After he "voluntarily" withdrew from consideration, I can picture him brooding, getting angrier and angrier. All that sucking up! All that kissing ass!
He and Mitt should join ranks. All Mitt got from his frog leg dinner with Trump was a pathetic photo.
CajunBlazer
(5,648 posts)Giuliani, Romney, etc., etc. - all just bit players destined to be fired early in the latest Trump reality show. All Trump cares about is keeping the spotlight on himself.
MagickMuffin
(17,141 posts)That's seems more to his liking!
CajunBlazer
(5,648 posts)One would think that that would be a natural given his background. However, he has been doing a lot of consulting (lobbying) with his firm for foreign countries and I guess he wanted to help out his foreign friends a lot more than he wanted to walk the straight and narrow as AG.
meow2u3
(24,923 posts)If Ghouliani sang like a canary on Tramp's treasonous ties with the Russkies--in full, lurid detail--to get even for not naming him AG.

madinmaryland
(65,157 posts)the vitriol and bile he was spewing. I figured he would just bust a vein and drop dead.
I said fuck him a long, long time ago. A complete asshole.

(45,806 posts)At least some in Congress are going to push against this new dude. Maybe it won't be him either.

(7,581 posts)He may end up in jail fir that. I thing the transitin team jnew that.
It did make me smile to hear the pain in his voice as he pretended this was his choice. Ha!!!
