President Donald Trump's personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, is back in the public eye after keeping a relatively low profile following the impeachment trial against his client.


The Washington Post looked into what the former mayor of New York city has been up to with his promotion of untested medical advice.

What resulted was an exposé of Giulani's repeated attempts to promote treatments for the virus that experts say aren't feasible or even safe.

The article jogged the memory of New York Magazine's Washington correspondent Olivia Nuzzi, who shared a screenshot of her text conversation with Giuliani illustrating his fitness as an expert on pandemics.

Nuzzi posted:

"This [Josh Dawsey] story about Rudy Giuliani attempting to advise President Trump during the pandemic reminds me that on March 17, as the number of positive cases in the US soared past 5,000, Giuliani asked me what the phrase "social distancing" meant."

On March 16, Nuzzi sent a text to Giuliani asking about his health, to which he answered "fine thank you" a day later.

But when Nuzzi asked Trump's personal lawyer about "social distancing," Giuliani was stumped.

The pandemic response guru who wants to advise the President responded:

"What does that mean"

People were not surprised by Giuliani's ignorance of CDC guidance considering who he is trying to impress with his recent efforts.



Some felt Giuliani was distancing from something.




People noted another expert status Giuliani bestowed upon himself.



And one request was made over and over.

During a public health crisis, listening to people with no knowledge or qualifications in medicine, public health or science who contradict "academics" is unwise.

During a pandemic, ignorance kills.

Trump Ripped After Griping About 'Sissy' New NFL Kickoff Rule In Unhinged Rant

President Donald Trump was criticized after he complained about the NFL's new "Dynamic Kickoff" rule that is designed to make playing football safer, calling it "sissy" football in a Monday morning post on Truth Social.

Under the previous rules, kickoffs began at the kicking team’s 35-yard line, with the goal of sending the ball as far as possible to pin the opposing offense deep in its own territory. The receiving team would try to advance the ball, which would often lead to high-speed collisions as players sprinted directly at each other.

Vance hosted a special episode of Kirk's podcast to attack what he referred to as “the lunatics in American politics" and said without any evidence that the suspect in Kirk's killing was motivated by far-left ideology.
