Pimpin’ Ain’t Easy

I feel like Rudy Giuliani has really completed the sitcom feel of the White House.  He’s the Barney Fife to Trump’s Andy Griffith, the Kramer to his Seinfeld.  He goes on TV and says something dumb or regrettable Trump has an “Oh Rudy!” Moment, and the nation has a good laugh as we all continue watching him steer us toward Armageddon.   The thing of it is, Michael Avenatti seems to be getting ammunition out of Giuliani’s interviews, and I think Giuliani kind of knows it.  Avenatti squarely said that he’d love to have a conversation with Giuliani, on whatever network he chooses, under fair conditions for both parties.  Giuliani though was having none of it.  He called Avenatti a pimp and said that he didn’t involve himself with pimps!  Considering his stance on paying people off on behalf of clients, I don’t know if I believe him.

Weirdly, one of the first public acknowledgements Trump has made about the whole Stormy Daniels affair, to my knowledge, was to call her a liar over the sketch of the guy Daniels says threatened her.  And honestly, Trump should have probably decided not to weigh in on this one, because Michael Avenatti is proving to be the Anti-Trump, using Trump’s favorite tactics to combat him.  In this case, Avenatti jumped on Trump’s tweet to suggest that what he said was tantamount to defamation, and it would totally make sense to come after him for that.  Trump has to feel weird for once being on the receiving end of that threat.
