Giuliani: A man with 'this kind of economic genius' better for U.S. than a woman

Source: The Hill



Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani on Sunday praised Donald Trump, after a report surfaced that said the GOP nominee could have legally avoided paying federal income taxes for up to 18 years.

"He’s a genius at how to take advantage of legal remedies that can help your company survive and grow," Giuliani said on ABC's "Meet The Press."

"I want a man who’s a genius at figuring out how to take this country, that’s -- moving in the wrong direction, where we’ve had a basically jobless recovery, where we’ve had growth of less than 2 percent for two years."

(…)
"Don’t you think a man who has this kind of economic genius is a lot better for the United States than a woman?" Giuliani then asked. The phrasing raised eyebrows, especially given the timing.

He's an obnoxious asshole and he needs to climb back under his slimy rock.

The fact that he thinks Deadbeat Donald is a genius when he LOST $900 million in one year is astounding!

I think I'll just go vote for that woman, thanks.

State governments? KEEP THE MONEY! DON'T GIVE THEM ANY!

All those government & defense contractors? JUST DON'T PAY THEM!

Foreign debt? FORGETTABOUTIT!

Also, ALL government functions will take place at Trump Industries properties. Oh, and no ugly women can work for the government, except to take notes and get coffee and strut around for the men. Only white women need apply, btw...

and Giuliani seems to be saying that by definition is genius. So what he's saying is he thinks genius is persons,places or things that can be bought or denied.

... remember the time in 1993 when the idiots bombed the World Trade Center and then you put the NYPD Emergency Command Center at the World Trade Center? ...

"The New York Police Department produced a detailed analysis in 1998 opposing plans by the city to locate its emergency command center at the World Trade Center, but the Giuliani administration overrode those objections. The command center later collapsed from damage in the Sept. 11 terrorist attack."

Seven World Trade Center is a poor choice for the site of a crucial command center for the top leadership of the City of New York,” a panel of police experts, which was aided by the Secret Service, concluded in a confidential Police Department memorandum."

... what little credibility you may once have had, after milking the tragedy of 9/11 for your own self-aggrandizement, has long since evaporated. You are a malicious, hateful caricature of yourself, and a textbook sociopath with the moral compass of a hyena.

In short, Rudy... shut the fuck up. Only webfooted morons with room-temperature IQs believe a single word you say.

Going bankrupt and reaping years of write-offs from paper losses that damage the US treasury and the banks that loaned millions to him and trusted him to do good business... that's something you can do when you have laws of a country protecting you. What country does the USA report to, huh Rudy? Who's in charge above us that we can fleece and rip off? China?

Howabout the little guys? The small businesses... will Trump fleece them, like he did with his buildings? Is that where he'll get his savings?

Rude, you're an idiot. No part of what Trump did to make his money is parallel to the responsibilities of the United States Government.
