Beyond parody.

President Donald Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani is known for making constant gaffes in attempts to defend his client.

He's admitted to potential crimes on the air, claimed that "truth isn't truth," and otherwise routinely demonstrated his ineptitude, but his most recent blunder might just top them all.


Giuliani butt-dialed an NBC reporter not once, but twice, leaving two different voicemails.

TMZ Is Actually Being Praised After Asking People To Send Them Photos Of Lawmakers On Vacation

Trump’s golf outings have cost taxpayers at least $101.2 million in travel and security expenses since he returned to office. That total is about two-thirds of what his golf trips cost during his entire first term and puts him on pace to spend roughly $300 million by the end of his second term.
