If it truly is his wife calling, shame on her. A woman who really wants her husband to succeed would NEVER call and interrupt a speech (*of course* she knows he’s giving a speech, unless she is so self-centered that she doesn’t know his schedule when he’s freakin’ *running for President*). There are two exceptions: She has just had a heart attack and is calling from the ambulance, or one of the children has just died. Even then, she would call one of his staff, who would then walk on stage and speak into his ear to tell him of the urgent call.
I used to be on a short leash. I cut it, after six years. It was humiliating to attempt to be taken seriously in business, only to come to my desk to find a rude note from my ex with a 6″ high, mean-looking “frowny face” in black Sharpie marker placed prominently in the middle of my desk. It was worse to be holding a meeting, and have it run a bit long, and have the ex standing outside the meeting room but in my line of sight, glaring and mouthing rude comments at me, and try to hold it together and finish the meeting properly. People begin to figure out that you have a tough situation, and try to help without directly acknowledging what is going on, but it’s still humiliating.
If she is the one calling him, someone should take away his phone, take away her phone, or handcuff her to a pipe until the speech is over. I want Giuliani to be President, if he’s the one nominated. If this is a real problem, it worries me.
