Rudy Giuliani Is Reportedly Close to Broke--and donald trump Isn't Taking His Calls

(lowercase in headline is my work: because I hate the name, and will never put President before it).


Rudy Giuliani Is Reportedly Close to Broke—and Donald Trump Isn’t Taking His Calls

That’s what happens when you go to bat for a notoriously cheap, friendless, crappy businessman.

Having raised more money than anyone else in the Republican Party so far this year, new filings show Donald Trump is flush with cash. Absolutely swimming in it. But even as the money flows in, the former president is reportedly stiffing one of his fiercest allies and loyal political surrogates, Rudy Giuliani, as the former New York mayor becomes increasingly ensnared in a federal investigation that’s reportedly costing him millions in legal fees.

He deserves much more than being broke. He should look on the bright side, he hasn't been charged with any felonies yet.

Is that like if you or I were broke, and we'd be couch surfing with friends, is that like wealthy guy broke in that he might have to sell some possessions or cash out some stock?

I know I’d be Trump’s worst enemy if he crossed me. Don’t get why these people just roll over.

When are these stupid saps going to learn that at the end of the day, Trump doesn’t give a shit about them?

Rudy’s just the latest who Don’s used and tossed. No sympathy here.
