Trump owes Rudy $2 million in legal fees. That should cover it.

In my version, he visits the White House and says “Mein Fuhrer, I can walk!”

Maybe the next time that he buys tires, they’ll be Four Seasons tires…

Not just criminals, but Rudy. He doesn’t even like Rudy anymore. He got what he needed from him and threw him by the wayside when he was begging for help. And, by help, Rudy just wanted Trump to pay him what he owned him. Unless the award comes with a few million dollars, this is like a slap in the face. It’s like if one of your friends asks if they can get that $250 you owe them because they can’t make their mortgage payment and they’re going to lose their house, but instead you give them a $5 coupon to The Olive Garden.

I haven’t read any of the articles about this yet, but do we know what the actual reason is that Trump is giving him this award?

I’m leaning towards the ‘domestic violence victim’ being a prostitute.

He’s already been released, so they may be overplaying his condition a bit. Or not, this is America and Rudy probably can’t afford health care.

I really appreciated Giuliani being described as " the _Borat Subsequent Moviefilm_ star", and also his spokesman releasing this statement:

> _In a follow-up post, Ragusa clarified that the collision “was not a targeted attack. We ask everyone to respect Mayor Giuliani’s privacy and recovery, and refrain from spreading unfounded conspiracy theories.”_

The irony burns! The goggles, they do nothing!

He has a head of security? It seems like a few months ago he was selling watches and sports memorabilia to pay off his legal losses because he declared bankruptcy and lost his radio gig. Where did his sudden windfall come from?

He pulled over to assist/ hit on some woman. Rebuffed, he pulled out into traffic without looking. Bang!
