This is my second attempt. The guy on the right is Gov. Chris Christie in his alter-ego costume after being dropped from the team.

The character in the cart is Rudy Giuliani as Quasimodo, the bell-ringer of Notre Dame Cathedral, who played for the fool from Disney's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame"
But the biggest appointments gossip centered on Rudy Giuliani’s rather manic campaign for secretary of state. Everybody expected Giuliani to be in the running for attorney general, but it turned out he was keen on being appointed to a post for which he had no earthly qualifications whatsoever.
Pop Quiz: If Rudy Giuliani is nominated to a high post in the Trump administration, would you rather have the debate over his confirmation center on:
A) His millions and millions of dollars in speaking fees and work on behalf of everyone from Qatar to the maker of OxyContin.
B) The time he told reporters he was ditching his wife before he told his wife.
C) The fact that on 9/11 New York City had no emergency command center because Giuliani had insisted, over police objections, on putting it in the World Trade Center.
D) His increasing resemblance to a 100-year-old rabbit.
Admit it, you want to talk about D. At 72, Giuliani is the same age as John Kerry, who recently broke the secretary of state record with 1.3 million miles traveled on the job. But some people age badly, and Giuliani has been off his game for decades — he peaked around 1995 and it’s been a deep slide ever since. NY Times - A Trumpian Silver Lining
