White House aide: "Handling Rudy's f--- ups takes more than one man"

Giuliani’s statement was the latest in a series of remarks over several months that has required walk-backs or reversals, and Trump spent much of Sunday and Monday fuming to aides and friends about his lawyer’s missteps. Most of those people share Trump’s frustration, noting that the former New York mayor often appears to lack a mastery of the facts of Trump’s legal headaches.

Asked who in the White House is responsible for handling Giuliani’s missteps, a White House aide said, “Handling Rudy’s f--- ups takes more than one man.”

Giuliani, who represents the president pro bono, pushed back on the notion that Trump is frustrated with him. “We’ve known each other for 30 years. And I haven’t heard him complain,” he told POLITICO. “And nobody in the White House would complain to me. They just do it behind my back.”

He also dismissed talk that he doesn’t grasp the facts. “I do have a mastery of the facts, which is why I can spin them honestly, argue them several different ways,” Giuliani said.

Someone has a real talent for understatement. I watched Jake Tapper's interview with Giuliani, and it looked to me like America's Mayor has been sneaking some of Cheetoh's adderall.

Rudy is like the little brother who keeps accidently ratting out his siblings.

the end is in sight! How much more can we take as a country? We are the laughingstock of the entire world. A MANIAC is in office, bolstered by people like McConnell, Graham and other gop slime with their hands out for their share of rubles. Any working class person who votes for gop after this should be institutionalized, along with both tRump and crazy Rudy.
