What's Up, Rudy?

This business of Trump and the election is becoming ever more unbelievably absurd to an outside observer. On the one hand it’s causing a shift in my perception of the so-called President. I’m now beginning to wonder whether he has some serious and identifiable metal health condition which prevents him from accepting his loss and creates delusions which are absolutely real to him. If so, maybe we should be wishing him a speedy commitment to treatment.

But what of Giuliani? Why is he still hanging in there making preposterous statements? Is he mentally ill, too? The rest of the Trump team may be excused their idiocy on the grounds that they’re merely lackeys and lackeys have to do and say whatever the boss orders. But surely, Giuliani is a man of status, so why is he not walking away from this surreal attempt at pantomime?

Maybe we need to paraphrase Shakespeare here and simply say:

O strange New World 
That has such imbeciles in charge of it

Maybe it’s as simple as that.
