What is it about Donald Trump that so many people find irresistibly appealing? I get that women would want to hook up with him — at least when he was younger. Trump is good-looking, personable, and rich. What's not to like there? At least for a quickie.

Kind of like spending an hour with a good-looking hooker. You don't want to scratch the surface, really. You just want to enjoy the shiny bling. What's underneath might ruin the entire effect.

I make this observation today owing to Rudy Giuliani's recent suspension from practicing law in New York. What is it about Donald Trump that Rudy found so fascinating that he would destroy his reputation just to represent on behalf of a delusional egomaniac?

Wouldn't Michael Cohen's involvement with Trump be a cautionary tale? As in "what happens when you become Trump's lawyer?" Answer: You do shady stuff for the boss and then serve his time when you get caught doing a con man's bidding.

Yet Rudy, once revered as "America's mayor," swallowed the bait, the hook, the line, the sinker, and the Kool Aid. And where did it get him? Suspended!

Trump's metaphorical yacht is sinking fast. No bilge pump or Campbell's soup can is gonna keep that boat afloat. Why you wanna go down with the ship when the captain is the first guy to jump overboard?

I mean…if there was ever a "look out for number one" type guy, it would be Donald Trump. How does anybody — let alone an ex-mayor of New York — not see that?

Donald's got something going on all right. I just don't get it. Kind of like Jim Gaffigan. Who thinks that guy's funny? Not me. But somebody does.

I guess I'm just out of step. As is Rudy Giuliani — for worshipping an empty shell of a cult leader. And now he's paying the price. Not like Michael Cohen did. But he's well on his way to ruination. And all from falling down the Trump rabbit hole.
