MSNBCs Joe Scarborough has been dropping hints why Rudy Giuliani was passed over for a role in the Trump administration, but he finally revealed the presidents concerns.
The Morning Joe host has been saying that President Donald Trump privately expressed concerns that Giuliani had lost it, and fell asleep in meetings, but he told viewers the real reason Tuesday with co-host Mika Brzezinskis prodding.
He was drinking too much, Scarborough said.
The president apparently overcame his initial concerns about the former New York City mayor and asked him to join his legal team against the special probe, but Trump is reportedly already tired of Giulianis antics on TV.

Brzezinski reminded her co-host and fiancé that Trumps associates had raised other concerns during private conversations during the transition period.
That he was falling asleep five minutes into meetings, Scarborough added. I can mention this: Everybody around Donald Trump said he was drinking too much Donald Trump suggested as much that was two years ago. And the fact that Donald Trump brought this guy in two years later despite his own reservations about him, almost two years ago, thats not any, its not 3-D chess. Thats not even checkers, thats a monkey throwing poo against the wall, and it doesnt usually turn out well.

(22,025 posts)I wonder why Judy left him?
Is it because of his drinking?
Is it because of his dementia?
Or is it because Giuliani is simply an asshole?
Inquiring minds want to know.

"Rudie Can't Fail"
Strummer/Jones
How you get a rude and a reckless?
Don't you be so crude and feckless
You been drinking brew for breakfast
Rudie can't fail
First you must cure your temper
Then you find a job in a paper
You need someone for a savior
Oh, Rudie can't fail
