    Former Time Person of the Year, America’s Mayor, and someone who once stood a realistic chance of becoming president.

    What a fall from grace.

    If only he’d retired at 65.

      Makes you realize, like Trump, that all of those accomplishments were the result of his PR team and the mainstream media’s propaganda machine — he succeeded in spite of his own stupidity and incompetence.

        A lot of it also had to do with being mayor of NY when 9/11 happened.

        Before 9/11, he wasn’t that popular of a mayor.

          He really wasn’t that popular not long after 9/11 either. The leftys in NYC always hated his guts and never bought the media lies.
