Excuse me, when you look at Stormy Daniels, Rudolph Giuliani, who is somehow a key member of the legal team of the President of the United States, said on Wednesday, in an onstage interview at the Globes Capital Market Conference, in Tel Aviv, before interrupting himself to make a face. And what a face: Giulianis expression was, perhaps, meant to be one of knowing revulsion at Daniels, but the lopsided chaos of his features conveyed a moral contortion all his own. He had been explaining that Melania Trump believed in her husband implicitly, and so should everyone else, because he was Trump, and because Daniels, whose legal name is Stephanie Clifford, acted in adult films.
Ignoring the interviewers plea of Lets respect her, Giuliani added, I know Donald Trump. Look at his three wives, right? It wasnt clear if, with that questioning note, he was looking for a confirmation of the exact number of Trumps wives. Beautiful women, classy women, women of great substance. Stormy Daniels? He paused to make another face, putting the left side of his mouth on a Cubist collision with his glasses. Then Giuliani, a former U.S. Attorney and mayor of New York City, began talking about his standards for respectability.

Against this backdrop, Giulianis remarks about Clifford are more than repugnant; they are revealing. They convey a political philosophy that he and the President share, which can be summed up as: those who are vulnerable are meant to be wounded, and have no right to ask for respect, let alone protection. It is a bullys declaration of open season on the weak. But Stephanie Clifford is not as defenseless as Giuliani or Trump might think. She has presented a credible and strikingly strong legal case. Maybe Giuliani should be listening to her.

(5,969 posts)If she's so low and beneath their standards, what does that say about Trump who betrayed his wife with her just after the birth of their son? You cannot have it both ways. Again and again, with his incompetence, he just keeps digging a bigger hole. You'd think he wouldn't want to draw any attention to that topic.

(82,849 posts)So, why do you think your client, the fellow with not one, not two, but three beautiful, classy wives (as you characterize them), had to go looking for a little strange with Stormy? And why did your client have to divorce not one, but two of those beautiful, classy wives, and can the third beautiful, classy wife expect any different treatment when she reaches her "pull by" date? Would you like to consult with any of your wives before you answer?

(34,458 posts)Such thing, because Stormy was too ugly and/or not Klassy enough. But thats a weird argument, since a fine upstanding Christian gentleman wouldnt respond even if the most beautiful, fabulous woman approached him, because that would break his wedding vows.
