Rudy was 57 in 2001 (at the end of two spectacular terms as mayor, which started when he was 49).
He is now 73.
Being that I am more than halfway down that road myself, I suspect that Rudy has gained in wisdom, but probably lost some of his combative edge.
Just sayin’.
I don’t know. Age doesn’t always mellow a person. Certainly shouldn’t weaken their determination of doing the right thing. I am guessing maybe Rudy Giuliani is sickened at what has happened to our Country since then and wants to help fix it.
