1. Seriously?

I guess I'm not that surprised.

2. Which calls me to question: was he EVER really intelligent, or just damned lucky?

Maybe it is arrogance + senility + something else, but....?

3. I'm sure it translates fine

Considering that it was all written specifically for him to consume. The Russians would make sure it didn't have any complicated words in it.

4. I wonder if it is as good as Facebook translate.

I have a friend who lives in Finland and often posts on FB in Finnish. The translations are ridiculous. It comes out like this: "Store today the cows are green is nice."

16. This is great

I'm often at a loss when I'm looking for nice green cows at the supermarket.

5. Translate Fails

I love her channel. This is an example of translating back and forth between languages.

I think of what Rudy was getting I do think it will all make sense to him, though, because it sounds like he THINKS.

11. At best, Google Translate sounds like Yoda

At worst, it's gibberish.

12. You've got to remember that Giuliani's frame of reference for gibberish/coherence is wildly

distorted by long amounts of time listening to Donald Trump speak what is purported to be English...

14. This is the dumb fuck that had to go to the Apple store when he

forgot his phone password!

15. What a clown show

Google translate aside - have you ever seen the auto translate on Instagram? From any language. The results in English are hysterical. It doesn't bother me all that much. Nothing is at stake with an Instagram translation, and the translations don't reflect on the original posts. But whether it's Russian, Polish, Japanese, Farsi, or Arabic - the English translations are pretty funny. One of these is a baking page, and I've thought it would be a hoot to give the translated recipes and try and see what happens.

That aside, Giuliani is a caricature of himself. Really, he can't be well, and so it's not fair to laugh at him. Nevertheless, laughing is so called for.
