Rudy Giuliani's inability to proofread his own tweet has led him to believe that some nefarious character infiltrated his account and left a "disgusting anti-President message."
On Nov. 30, Giuliani, President Trump's personal lawyer, tweeted: "Mueller filed an indictment just as the President left for G-20.In July he indicted the Russians who will never come here just before he left for Helsinki.Either could have been done earlier or later. Out of control!Supervision please?" Giuliani neglected to put spaces between several sentences, which generated a link to "G-20.In." A prankster jumped at the opportunity to buy the domain, and now when people click on the accidental link in Giuliani's tweet, it takes them to a website that simply states: "Donald J. Trump is a traitor to our country."
Giuliani doesn't think he did anything wrong, however, tweeting a rambling follow-up on Tuesday night: "Twitter allowed someone to invade my text with a disgusting anti-President message. The same thing-period no space-occurred later and it didn't happen. Don't tell me they are not committed cardcarrying anti-Trumpers. Time Magazine also may fit that description. FAIRNESS PLEASE." Giuliani, it should be remembered, was named Trump's informal adviser on cybersecurity last year.
