Rudy Giuliani’s decision to join President Donald Trump’s legal team set social media alight on Thursday.
Twitter users were quick to respond with biting comments after the former prosecutor and New York City mayor revealed he would assist the president with special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 election:
I love that Donald Trump has like, 3 loser friends and he just keeps giving them jobs. He's like the Adam Sandler of presidents. https://t.co/21Pw0lQKzb

Someone should tell Rudy Giuliani that unless he looks forward to being hit with a Trump adjacent indictment, he might want to reconsider. Guess his parents never told him not to hang around with the wrong element.

Trump hiring Giuliani is as if OJ Simpson hired Charles Manson to join his legal team

I liked Giuliani and Trump's early work together. pic.twitter.com/rbBOtgmNpN

Mark my words, Rudy Giuliani will be the Anthony Scaramucci of Trump's legal team.

Rudy Giuliani is joining Trump's personal legal team, so now they can blame things on Hillary AND 9/11.

So how long until Trump replaces Giuliani with Piers Morgan

Trump and Giuliani deserve each other

Nice plot twist. https://t.co/KoDsKwDepn

It's almost like Trump is less interested in hiring the right person than hiring the person who was the most vocally supportive on cable television.
— Robert Schlesinger (@rschles) April 19, 2018
Oh wait... https://t.co/oNyYHAPsbe
Can you imagine being Giuliani and spending years kissing Trump's ass in the hopes of becoming Attorney General, only to find the only job Trump will give him is personal defense attorney -- and even then he's, like, 60th choice? 😂 https://t.co/eicBmfUbJM

Rudy Giuliani also adds: Trump is a “man with a big heart.”
— Tena Ezzeddine (@TenaNYCLA) April 19, 2018
So there’s that. 😏#TrumpRussia

Unless Donald Trump wants to gentrify a city or stop and frisk Bob Mueller, I’m not sure what hiring Rudy Giuliani accomplishes. https://t.co/eR65gI9QCS
