Uh-oh. He isn't rich anymore. According to Trump, that means he's automatically a loser. Guess he won't be getting any support from the orange guy anymore, not that he was getting much.
While it doesn't automatically mean that Giuliani sees the money, Trump is apparently having a fundraiser dinner for him. So maybe he does have something on Trump, still.
I like to play a game where I think of the worst thing Trump could do, and it’s most often correct. Call it Covfefe’s Razor. Trump will pocket 100% of the proceeds and use some fraction of it to extort him to keep him in line, the rest will go to Trump’s legal defense including any lawyers fixing things for Trump by ‘representing’ Rudy.
It's not a bad heuristic to predict Trump. From staring directly at a solar eclipse to continuing to defame a person immediately after losing a defamation case about that person, Trump will always seemingly take the worst possible action in any given scenario.
Trump will always seemingly take the worst possible action in any given scenario.
This is completely incorrect. Trump doesn't do that.
Take the worst possible option that any reasonable person could take in any given situation. Now think of how an unreasonable person could take that option and add "Wile E. Coyote" levels of incompetence to it. THAT is the option that Trump always chooses.
I think (and am deeply saddened by it) that many people would go just for the proximity to Trump, not because they care one way or the other about Giuliani.
