Bankrupt and disgraced: Giuliani meets the standard fate of Trump ‘partners’

Rudy Giuliani was once an American hero. Sure, the Democratic Party hated him and the liberal media reviled him, but in many circles, he was revered.
Giuliani came into the mayoralty of New York City in 1994, when there were 2,000 murders a year. During his term in office, crime was cut in more than half — you could argue that Giuliani saved the city from the criminals.
THE FAR-LEFT CAMPAIGN TO UNDERMINE THE COURT
New York Democrats saw Giuliani as invincible, and so they created mayoral term limits only for him — literally: The City Council repealed the term limits during the tenure of the very next mayor, Mike Bloomberg.
Then 9/11 happened, and Giuliani stood tall as a model leader in a time of crisis. He became America’s mayor. Nationwide, approval of him was 76%, while only 9% disapproved of him — basically only elected Democratic politicians disliked him.
Very few people have enjoyed both fame and approval from a broad swath of America as Giuliani did.
Now Giuliani is disgraced, filing for bankruptcy.
How did this happen?
The short answer is former President Donald Trump.
Giuliani, of course, made many bad decisions — he had three marriages, after all. But attaching himself to Trump was what brought him down.
As Trump’s henchman, Giuliani went to Ukraine to dig up dirt on the Bidens. When Trump lost to Biden in 2020, Giuliani led some of the most embarrassing efforts to claim Biden stole the election.
Fighting for Trump required Giuliani to lie about people and defame them, which is why he lost in court, owes millions, and is now filing for bankruptcy.
This is what happens to people who attach themselves to Trump: They ruin their lives. Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, in order to be loyal to Trump, broke the law and was convicted of perjury and other crimes. Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis faces disbarment for the offenses she committed while “fighting for Trump.”
Hundreds of Trump dupes ruined their lives by storming the Capitol in Trump’s name on Jan. 6.

Trump, though, isn’t bankrupt, his career isn’t ruined, and he isn’t going to go to jail. He’s fine — he’s the Republican front-runner again.
The man doesn’t care about any other human being, and anyone who tries to be his partner ends up ruined while Trump ends up fine. This doesn’t seem like the best person for a party to nominate as president.
