Total Nelson Muntz moment! Also hilarious that Giuliani honestly believed Trump would pay him $20k/day and not stiff him like Trump has done to basically everyone else.

 Giuliani made millions of dollars doing security consultation around the world. I can't fathom how he would be broke.

I think that being broke is about as good as a punishment corrupt people can suffer aside from actual prison time.

I don't see him "near broke" either.
But I hope it's true.

This....and to think, 20 years ago in August 2001, he was an irrelevant two-term mayor with no political future after a horrendous 2000 Senate campaign failure and personal life, Black New Yorkers despised him because of police brutality and 9/11's tragedy makes him still relevant on to this day....

That depends on lifestyle. Also, he probably fronted a lot of costs associated with Trump's defense that he got stiffed on along with his actual pay, so don't discount how expensive that could be. He may be near broke in terms of liquid assets, but he probably has his house and other assets he could sell.

Time to make some money: the business career of Rudy Giuliani


This story dated 2019 sheds some light on the amount of money he earned and does describe expensive lifestyle creep but he made tens of millions of dollars at the very least.

He compulsively spends his money on unidentifiable goo for his hair.

Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, in divorce court, is accused of spending $12K on cigars (Nov, 2018)
Quote
Rudy Giuliani was in state Supreme Court in New York on Wednesday, where a lawyer for Judith Giuliani claimed the former New York City mayor has spent over $900,000 since April while claiming he has financial difficulties.

Among the expenditures by "America's Mayor" were $12,012 on cigars and $7,131 on fountain pens over a five-month period, Judith Giuliani's lawyer, Bernard Clair, told Justice Michael Katz, according to NBC New York affiliate WNBC.

In that same time frame, Giuliani, 74, also spent over $286,000 on his alleged mistress, $447,938 "for his own enjoyment" and $165,000 on travel for himself, Clair said.

The thing that just blows my mind is why anyone expects Trump to pay them. He never does, why would you be any different?

True, but expecting fair compensation from Trump is about on par with investing your life savings into Amway. Plenty of people who don't know any better will fall for it but I'd expect someone like Giuliani to recognize it since he's got decades of familiarity with NYC fraudsters.

It may seem like that to you or I, but for the power-hungry, egotistical vermin in Trump's orbit, I think it's reasonable to believe most of them think they have a special relationship with Trump, right up until the moment they're discarded like everyone else whose last name isn't Trump.

I feel a bit bad for Guiliani, but he called it upon himself.

It's the same thing with being loyal to him in general. It's a one-way street.

I really think there's some fundamental binary discrepancy in human neurology or psychology that makes people susceptible to sort of fundamentally stupid and obvious con that Trump puts on. The left certainly has its own blind spots and fallacies, and there are parts of the right that don't mirror Trump (although seemingly fewer every day), but I have never understood how anyone who is not mentally disabled to watch Trump speak for more than a few minutes and come away with any impression but that he is an ignoramus and egotists loaded with BS right up to his hair. And that's before knowing anything about his history. Everything about his body language and delivery is transparently awful, and the actual content of his speech is almost always that of a spoiled brat who didn't do his homework.

The only conclusion I can make is that there's some sort of mental gap, like an unpatched exploit in software, that makes people who ought to know better take him seriously.
