    Interesting read and I think it to be credible overall. You'd have to be blind to have missed some of Rudy's transformation.

    Sadly, Rudy's journey is not unlike similar transformations I have witnessed in business. Without a firm foundation of principles and moral standards we all stand the chance of running amok. At times those "wanderings" are temporary, in others there is no return. I think Rudy falls into the last category. This might be seen as sexist, but it is my experience, many of those transformations come about with the "aid" of a new woman.

    A good catch, Fred. I'm a subscriber to the Rolling Stone and wondered if I would see these issues on this site.

    For me, Rudy was: "Christened “America’s Mayor,” Giuliani for years was an immensely popular figure who appeared destined for a lucrative, decorated career at the spires of American business and government."

    It's as if Rudy's alliance with Trumpism caused his character traits to fall quickly. But, I think that can be said of many who join Team Trump. They go for short-term gains rather than logical and real plans.

    Never closely followed the man, but a lot of this makes sense after his time in office.
