Let’s begin with a reality check.

President Trump’s attorney, Rudy Giuliani, is an absolute garbage human being.

He had our respect for his actions after the horrible events of September 11, 2001, but something has gone horrible wrong since that time.

I showed a video last night of an appearance by Giuliani in Tel Aviv, Israel. While speaking to this crowd, Giuliani said the most inflammatory (and unhelpful) things about the upcoming summit between President Trump and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.

Among those unhelpful things, Giuliani suggested that Trump had brought Kim down to his hands and knees, begging for the summit.

Considering the heated rhetoric that preceded talks of a summit, and the shaky ground it is on, even now, one has to wonder why he would risk setting off the unstable leader, once again, by demeaning him in such a way.

I get that mindless boasting is a Trump thing, but this couldn’t come at a more delicate time.

Today, more footage is available from Giuliani’s time in Tel Aviv, and it is maddening.

Part of what he talked about, apparently, was the case between the president and his former porn star mistress, Stormy Daniels.

Giuliani told the crowd that Melania Trump knows her husband and knows the talk of an affair between the two is untrue. He said that he didn’t believe there was even a slight suspicion, when you look at Stormy Daniels.

He then made a slight grimace, as if to say Ms. Daniels is unattractive.

This would be the same Melania who was the mistress to Trump while he was married to his second wife, who was the mistress while he was married to his first wife… just so you can keep the players straight.

But she’s the one that he wouldn’t possibly cheat on, because she’s that special.

Pressing on, the former mayor also added:

“I know Donald Trump, and look at his three wives – beautiful women, classy women, women of great substance. Stormy Daniels?”

Another ridiculous face.

Then he uttered this despicable nonsense:

“I respect all human beings…but I’m sorry I don’t respect a porn star the way I respect a career woman. Or a woman of substance. Or a woman who has great respect for herself, not to sell her body.”

So here is where we get into the meat of proof, that Rudy Giuliani is a gutless, misogynistic, gutter punk.

For starters, I despise pornography. I despise the industry and how it wrecks families and devalues human life and sexuality into nothing but corrupt, physical pleasure.

That being said, many who enter the industry are already fragile. They’ve been wrecked in some area of their life and turn to pornography in desperation and hopelessness.

The stories of drug abuse and suicide coming from the industry are legend.

I don’t know Stormy Daniels’ backstory. I don’t know her life. It seems that she’s one who at least has managed to make it through without totally self-destructing. Good for her, even if I disagree with her life choices, and very likely would not agree with her on much of anything.

What we don’t do, simply because we disagree with someone, is tell them their life doesn’t matter. We don’t tell them that they’re worth less than another person. We don’t tell them that they are less worthy of respect because of their life choices than someone who has either chosen a more acceptable career, or married into wealth.

Does it matter that Melania Trump did her own share of porn modeling, before marrying Trump?

Does it matter that Giuliani married his own cousin?

And of how much worth are the men that lay with porn stars and prostitutes? Do they get a pass?

No matter what you think of someone’s life choices, you don’t know the road they’ve traveled or the struggles they may be going through. You don’t tell someone they’re not worthy of respect because they don’t meet your “high social standards.”

That’s a trash move, and Giuliani needs to be checked, for that.

A good start would be for him to read up on Annie Lobert, the former sex worker and founder of the international ministry, Hookers for Jesus.

No, they’re not prostituting “for Jesus.” It’s a ministry to reach the same people Rudy Giuliani is so callously demeaning as “less.”

Bottom line: This was a disgusting display from Giuliani, and Trump needs to get a handle on this loose cannon, or he’s going to end up hurting, far more than he can help.
