After the arrests of several associates of President Donald Trump's personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, the press asked the President if he was concerned.
Mired in an impeachment inquiry of his own which includes actions taken by his personal lawyer on his behalf, concerns would be warranted. However the President reaffirmed his commitment to Giuliani.
In a response full of accolades, Trump stated:
"I think Rudy is a great gentleman. He’s been a great crime fighter. He looks for corruption wherever he goes."
Trump added:
"He was the greatest mayor in the history of New York and he’s been one of the greatest crime fighters and corruption fighters."
Watch his full response here.
However rather than concur with the President's assessment of Giuliani as the greatest New York city mayor of all time, people found the set up too hard to resist. Specifically this line;
"He looks for corruption wherever he goes."
People jumped on the chance to reinterpret Trump's message. Including several of his Twitter nemeses, like George Conway.
While it was clearly not the message the President intended, it was the message received.
Some commended the President for assessing the situation correctly.
People fixed the inaccuracies they saw or the incomplete portions of Trump's statement "He looks for corruption wherever he goes."
Some even waxed poetic.
And one person felt inspired to create a poll.
But some weren't buying the rest of the President's answer.
Elsewhere, Rudy Giuliani was possibly having a worse day after "butt dialing" a reporter.
The impeachment inquiry continues into possible foreign influence, quid pro quo, emoluments, obstruction of justice and only time and congressional hearings will tell what else.
As of Friday, October 25, 2019, we are 374 days away from the 2020 election. Are you registered to vote?
