Donald Trump announces he is making Kimberly Guilfoyle his ambassador to Greece in stunning move

Donald Trump announced Tuesday he was appointing ex-Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle as his ambassador to Greece.

Guilfoyle, aged 55, began her public service career as a prosecutor specializing in international law in San Francisco and Los Angeles. She later became associated with the Trump administration through her engagement to Donald Trump Jr., aged 46.

‘Her broad expertise and leadership in the fields of law, media, and politics, coupled with her keen intelligence, render her exceptionally qualified to serve as a representative of the United States and protect its interests on a global scale,’ stated Trump in a post on Truth Social.

‘Kimberly is highly suited to enhance strong diplomatic ties with Greece, promoting our agenda on various fronts such as defense collaboration, trade relations, and economic progress.’

The announcement comes just hours after Daily Mail published photographs of Don Jr. hand-in-hand with the Palm Beach socialite, Bettina Anderson, showing the six-year relationship with Guilfoyle is clearly over. 

While Don Jnr and Guilfoyle began dating in 2018, the Daily Mail first revealed their relationship was all but over in September after the 46-year-old was spotted kissing the socialite. 

While Guilfoyle felt ‘blindsided’ by the revelation, she continued to be photographed with Don Jnr. during Trump’s election campaign. They have not been seen together since November 12, and Guilfoyle didn’t attend the Trump family’s Thanksgiving. 

‘There were a ton of people vying for this. It is one of the hottest posts in the world,’ said a source familiar with the president-elect’s thinking.

‘Not just because it’s an amazing place place to live, but because it’s a hotbed of activity with everything that is happening in Syria, throughout the middle east, and the migrant crisis.’

The source added that Guilfoyle, aside from her relationship with Don Jr. had known Trump for 20 years, and raised hundreds of millions of dollars for his campaigns.

‘He wants her to represent him on the world stage,’ the source added.

‘She studied international law and will be amazing spokeswoman for Donald Trump.

‘She’ll be the Jackie O of the MAGA movement.’

Guilfoyle was assistant district attorney in San Francisco from 2000 to 2004. 

But it was her marriage to Democratic politician Gavin Newsom that brought into the public eye, when she was first lady of San Francisco during his first two years as mayor of that city.

Insiders said that experience would help her cope with the demands of being Trump’s representative overseas.

Guilfoyle was an energetic campaigner for Trump and appeared on stage with the family at the election night party in West Palm Beach.

‘In our vision, America will combat foreign aggressors and ensure our service members are protected, not abandoned, as they carry out their dangerous missions abroad, because we know we can only have peace through strength,’ she said in July.

But the appointment comes as her fiancee Don Jr. has been repeatedly pictured with Bettina Anderson, 38, around Palm Beach, suggesting his six-year engagement in well an truly over.

The new couple’s latest date saw them attend exclusive hotspot Buccan for two hours to celebrate Anderson’s birthday. 

The restaurant is just three miles from Bettina’s townhouse, where Don often stays. 

They looked every bit a new couple, with Don Jr holding her Bettina’s hand as they left the venue just before 10pm.

Guilfoyle’s new role means she will likely be swapping life in Florida for Jefferson House, the American ambassador’s residence in the Greek capital Athens. 

It comes with a swimming pool in the backyard and enough reception space to entertain hundreds of dignitaries.

It was named for Thomas Jefferson who held up Greek democracy as the most important influence on the founding of the American republic.
