Rudy Giuliani’s daughter offers dad self-care tips: avoid lying, hair dye

Rudy Giuliani’s daughter has published a list of tongue-in-cheek ‘self-care tips’ to help ‘Trumpworld’ accept that Joe Biden won.

How Rudy Giuliani lost the plot: From New York hero to eccentric lawyer

For fractured families across America, Thanksgiving provided a chance to press pause on political differences and focus on the positives after a bloody election. Not for the Giulianis, however.

Rudy Giuliani, Donald Trump’s pitbull personal lawyer, who is still frantically scrambling to overturn the result of the US presidential election, has become low-hanging fruit for left-wing comedians – and his daughter, Caroline, is getting in on the joke.

The 31-year-old – a Democrat and a fan of Kamala Harris, the vice-president-elect – has published a list of tongue-in-cheek “self-care tips” to help “Trumpworld” accept that Joe Biden won.

“Take stock of your failures,” she wrote in Vanity Fair magazine last week. “Only sociopathic narcissists have delusions of grandeur, blaming others for their failings, often with tragic consequences.”

She took clear aim at her Republican father: “Avoid charcoal products or anything with artificial dyes, which may result in your face oozing as you make false claims of voter fraud in Philadelphia, for example.”

Dark brown rivulets had poured down Giuliani’s face during a recent news conference under hot lights, as he railed against the election result. Hairdressers wondered whether he had used mascara as a slapdash way to darken his sideburns.

A bisexual “sex-positive” filmmaker, Caroline also poked fun at the Four Seasons Total Landscaping fiasco, which saw her father holding a press conference at a garden centre next to a sex shop and the Delaware Valley Cremation Centre, rather than at – as had been expected – Philadelphia’s Four Seasons hotel.

“Sexual self-care is critical if you don’t want to end up in the crematorium across the street,” she wrote – perhaps a passing reference to a scene in Sacha Baron Cohen’s most recent Borat film, in which her father is seen fiddling inside his trousers.

In her “self-care tips for accepting the reality that Trump lost”, she advises sore losers to pack up their White House belongings and get into nature: “Trek into the wilderness until you lose cell service and Twitter will no longer refresh. Stay until America is back on track.”

For all the jokes, she ends on a seemingly personal, plea: “Stop ignoring your relatives who just want you to allow the democratic process to unfold unobstructed. (Artsy daughters are especially insightful.)”

Caroline made headlines in October with another scorching piece for Vanity Fair, begging voters to turn out and support Biden. “I have a difficult confession – something I usually save for at least the second date. My father is Rudy Giuliani,” she began. We are multiverses apart, politically and otherwise.”

She recently directed a music video for Richard Shelton, a British singer and actor living in Los Angeles. He describes her as “prepossessing, very bright and absolutely charming”.

Early on, she “deftly” brought up who her father was – “the elephant in the room”.

Caroline showed Giuliani the camp music video, in which one of his three former wives has a cameo serving champagne, and he loved it, added Shelton.

“He’s her father and he remains her father while they disagree so fundamentally on everything politically.”
