President Trump’s friend Rudy Giuliani expressed shock and delight today on learning he is not the most hated lawyer associated with the President anymore.

“I’m not even the second most hated!”

The change came after Trump appointed lawyers Kenneth Starr and Alan Dershowitz to his defense team.

“Boy, people must really hate those guys.”

Giuliani said he hoped this heralded an eventual return to the popularity he experienced in the aftermath of 9/11.

“I’m almost there, right?”
