Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle, the Talk of Athens

[Anonymous]

Lengthy profile of Donald Trump Jr’s ex-fiancée’s first months as Ambassador to Greece. She seems to be performing as one might expect given her scream-y speech at the Republican convention. Poor Greece.

It was a splashy arrival. Kimberly Guilfoyle, the new United States ambassador to Greece, landed in Athens on the private jet of a multimillionaire Greek American businessman. She caused a sensation at a Thanksgiving week dinner in a partly sheer black evening dress. When she presented her diplomatic credentials to the Greek president, Constantine Tassoulas, she told him she had previously been to Greece on a “fabulous honeymoon, but …” and then trailed off.

“Honeymoon was fabulous, the marriage?” Mr. Tassoulas said lightly.

“We’ll work on a new husband,” Ms. Guilfoyle replied with a small laugh.

Recently, she turned up at an Athens nightclub for the 1:30 a.m. premiere show of her friend, one of the country’s most famous pop singers, Konstantinos Argiros, in a prime seat between her own personal stylist and a Greek businesswoman from a powerful shipping family. She got home in the very small hours of the morning.

“Oh, I wasn’t late, it was like before 3,” Ms. Guilfoyle, the former fiancée of President Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr., as well as the former wife of Gov. Gavin Newsom of California, said in a recent interview at Jefferson House, her sprawling, Mediterranean-style official residence in Athens.

Consolation prize for being dumped.

Trump admin recalls 30 professional career ambassadors suddenly and instead prioritizes people like Kim who is considered a slap in the face to US-Greece relations.

Yes, it’s right there in the OP.

She’s a workaholic and willing to listen to people. Actually heard some good things from State folks about her; they were pleasantly surprised.

As a Greek American, I’m mortified this is who Trump sent to Greece. The drag queen get-up and Mar-a-Lago face are shocking to those who have seen her. On the other hand, she seems sincere about the job and I know she’s not stupid, but her boss is a mentally unstable authoritarian so who knows if and how well she will be allowed to do her job. The current government is right-wing (and highly unpopular) so will no doubt go along with all Trump’s wishes. Hopefully Trump/Rubio will be too busy with other international projects (eg Venezuela) to mess with Greece.

At the rate Trump is going, he could make Greece his 58th state.

+1 the only thing that really surprised me in that article is that Kimberley has a stylist who thinks it’s good for her to dress that way

If she had blackmail, she could have gotten Japan or France or the Uk which are more prestigious posts.

The beauty of exceeding extremely low expectations …

Guilfoyle was a competent government lawyer before made a deal with the devil to trade her soul and her face for access to the trappings of higher office.

If she had stuck with Newsom she could have made it to the White House in 2028 and still have a human face.
