So Trump didn't pay him and now he's at risk of an ethics violation for lying for him.

Such a sucker: got played.

I wonder if it's dementia? My mother was both frugal and canny all her life. So, discovering that she was getting cheated by all sorts of scams via snail mail (Publisher's Clearinghouse-type things, and way worse) came as such a shock. Lord knows how much money was lost.

Turned out to be an early sign of dementia 😣

Alcoholism.

Rudy's got all the hallmarks of that (and a reputation for hard drinking, day or night). He might be suffering some severe cogitative defects at this point.

Could be both, Korsakoff's is an alcohol-related dementia and would fit some aspects of his personality:

"Those with Korsakoff syndrome may "confabulate," or make up, information they can't remember. They are not "lying" but may actually believe their invented explanations. Scientists don’t yet understand the mechanism by which Korsakoff syndrome may cause confabulation."

They might be able to figure it out quicker if they stop using words that confabulate people.

It can also be caused by an exceptionally bad diet

Are you saying hamberders are not the breakfast, lunch and dinner of champions?

Preposterous.

Also factor in the fact that Rudy has known Trump for decades. Surely, he of all people would be familiar with how Trump screws over his "friends" and employees and yet he thought that working for Trump was a good idea?

Then again, we're talking about Mr. Four Seasons Landscaping guy over here.
