I think Trump has been sheltered from knowing about Guiliani's behavior

I think the people around Trump have been afraid to tell him about the insane rants, the hair dye, the snot-wiping, and I think Trump is genuinely confused about why Guiliani has not been successful in getting votes nullified--because he just doesn't know what image Rudy has been presenting.

Trump will not have seen the Borat clip or any of the other missteps because he doesn't watch MSM, and he is shielded from everything else because his staff (and family) fear his wrath.

I think the failure of the Rudy campaign finally had Trump asking what was going wrong, and he had to be told (and shown), and that's why he was going to accompany Rudy to PA last week, to see for himself.

I think we're seeing the final days of Rudy.

well aware what is up with these people. So, I think your OP is not correct, though I do not know for sure.

Incompetence, stupidity are fine, but any hint of criticism of trump totally unacceptable.

And I’m sure drumpf teased him about the borat thing, but I don’t know it for a fact.

But yes, hopefully the end of Rudy and others.

I believe the chances are effectively nil that Guiliani's done anything significant that Trump didn't know about, and in most cases order or approve.

Trump was himself involved with both Russia and Turkey, just for something we know as a for-instance, long before he added Guiliani to his team of criminals.

He has had dozens of tweets over the past few years referencing something that just ran on CNN, MSNBC or one of the networks.

Some of them he has even started as: "I normally don't watch ____, but I just tuned in for a minute and saw....."

Giuliani is all he has. No respectable law firm is going to get messed up in this. Many of trump's 'elite legal team' will eventually find themselves sanctioned or possibly even disbarred. It is a serious violation of an attorney's oath to take frivolous matters into Court, and can lead to sanctions and/or disbarment.

Diaperdon is very much informed on the "goings on" concerning himself, he watches a lot of cable TV, even MSNBC, I can tell you that.....and Jarvanka and Uday and Qusay are always watching his back...
