Trump reacts
In a statement posted on Truth Social, Trump called Giuliani a “true warrior” and praised his tenure as mayor.
“Our fabulous Rudy Giuliani, a True Warrior, and the Best Mayor in the History of New York City, BY FAR, has been hospitalized, and is in critical condition," Trump wrote.
He added, "What a tragedy that he was treated so badly by the Radical Left Lunatics, Democrats ALL — AND HE WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING! They cheated on the Elections, fabricated hundreds of stories, did anything possible to destroy our Nation, and now, look at Rudy. So sad!”
Brian Krassenstein's big claim

"Nothing like Rudy Giuliani being on his death bed and Trump using it to promote his election lies. Pathetic scumbag," he wrote.
Who is Rudy Giuliani?
Giuliani rose to national prominence as a high-profile federal prosecutor before being elected New York City mayor in 1993. He gained widespread recognition for his leadership following the September 11 attacks, earning the nickname “America’s Mayor.”
He later ran for president in 2007 but withdrew early in 2008. Over time, he became a prominent political commentator and served as a personal attorney to Trump, playing a key role in efforts to challenge the results of the 2020 election won by Joe Biden.
Giuliani has faced health challenges in recent years. He was hospitalized in September following a car accident in New Hampshire that left him with a fractured vertebra and other injuries.
