Rudy’s Crash Tour: From Mafia Takedown to Medal Mayhem

In a breathtaking 2025 plot twist, Rudy Giuliani, aka 'America's Mayor,' just survived a New Hampshire car crash that fractured his vertebrae and sent him to the hospital, only to be announced for the Presidential Medal of Freedom by none other than Donald Trump! On the very same Monday, Rudy’s son Andrew gave us the emotional update: daddy’s walking (barely) and in lots of pain—‘thank God,’ he says. The medal come-out party was on Truth Social, with Trump hailing Rudy as NYC’s best mayor and 'equally great American patriot.' Bonus irony: Rudy’s spokesperson, Ted Goodman, was injured in the same crash, turning the event into an unplanned tag-team pain fest. Fun facts include Rudy’s 2008 presidential bid, bankruptcy in 2023, criminal charges from 2024, and multiple disbarments into 2025—a resume so wild it makes a soap opera look sober.
