Rudy Giuliani is the favorite to be secretary of state in Donald Trump's administration.

That's according to a senior Trump official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the source isn't authorized to speak on the record.

The official says there's no real competition for the job and that it's the former New York mayor's if he wants it.

You're going from Clinton and Kerry, to this? Oh Jesus, America's image by the end of Trump administration's is going to be charred.

 

[thepotatoman]

Hard to imagine Trump being a peaceful president with Giuliani as SoS.

 

[Smellycat]

Gross gross gross gross

His email password is Never4get911

Unfortunately.

 

[CHC]

So, will he do less damage as SoS than as Attorney General.....?

 

[Liu Kang Baking A Pie]

What the fuck is going on with his lower teeth?!

The same problem as his politics: he only takes care of the top.

At least it isn't Bolton?

Train the swamp

 

[Imperfected]

Hey Donny, Rudy said you're a fattie and he's only pretending to be your friend to use the White House Nintendo. I'll share my lunchable with you if you make me Secretary of State instead.

 

[Glass Rebel]

The same problem as his politics: he only takes care of the top.

[GusBus]

My quixotic hope is that his visits to other countries work as a moderating influence.

 

[platakul]

World wide police state hell yea

 

[Damerman]

oh my god. this is top 3 worst things about this administration if true. How do we go from John Kerry(where is his nobel peace prize BTW) to the most pessimistic and cynical fucker out there?

this is devastating.

 

[sunshine and gasoline]

You're going from Clinton and Kerry, to this? Oh Jesus, America's image by the end of Trump administration's is going to be charred.

Well, provided that we get a capable president in 2020 the world, or at least most of it, is going to have one hell of a party to celebrate.

 

[Toxi]

I can't tell whether this is better or worse than Bolton. They're both awful for different reasons.

 

[Jarmel]

Well it could be worse I guess.

 

[metalslimer]

I can't tell whether this is better or worse than Bolton. They're both awful for different reasons.

Its better only because it diverts rudy from AG

 

[FireBeaver]

It keeps getting worse and worse.

 

[Claude Kenni]

The official says there's no real competition for the job

Is this real life?

 

[EmCeeGramr]

It's not even funny how clear it is that Trump has no idea what these jobs actually entail or who is qualified to fill them, so they're all people he knows and/or who sucked up to him. He has no other friends, and he figures that his friends need to be rewarded or are the best people. He obviously never really thought about filling these seats before the election, and now he's just looking around the room going, "Gosh... uh.... shit, Rudy? Newt? Steve? You guys can do something, right?"

That, or they're random establishment people that guys like Pence and Priebus recommend to him, and he just rubber stamps them because thinking about it too much is hard.

 

[Frozenprince]

I look forward to the "Giuliani says x" international gaff threads here every week.

 

[Cymbal Head]

Does that mean we're looking at Attorney General Chris Christie?

 

[Poodlestrike]

You're going from Clinton and Kerry, to this? Oh Jesus, America's image by the end of Trump administration's is going to be charred.

On the plus side, next D president is a lock for a sweet Nobel Peace Prize.

 

[Toxi]

Its better only because it diverts rudy from AG

Okay, that's a good point. Giuliani it is.

 

[Masked Man]

The fact that Pence is spearheading the transition effort worries me greatly.

The same problem as his politics: he only takes care of the top.

Brought a smile to my face in spite of this horrifying headline.

 

[Escape Goat]

Does that mean we're looking at Attorney General Chris Christie?

Not with Bridgegate. No way. Which means it will totally happen.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Hillary wanted Biden as SoS too. Now we get this shitstain.

 

[Frozenprince]

Him and Duterte are gonna be best buddies though I can already tell.

"Jeez they let you actually murder all your homeless and drug addicts? I had to send mine to Jersey or jail!"

 

[Plasticine]

Well it could be worse I guess.

It's amazing how low the bar has already been set for Trump.

So far he hasn't really picked any establishment people. Everybody selected at this point are just the regular sycophants.

 

[Cymbal Head]

Yeah God forbid the Trump White House have connections to a scandal.

 

[geomon]

Will he have secret service agents pick up his mistresses like he did when he was governor of New York? Maybe now he can have a mistress in every country he visits.

 

[Toxi]

Reince Priebus is his Chief of Staff.

 

[SerAardvark]

He probably doesn't have many options: large swaths of the Republican national security/foreign policy establishment denounced Trump during the election. I can't imagine they have any interest in serving him now.
