Kimberly Guilfoyle Broke Trump’s Most Important Rule

The president doesn’t seem to care about corruption; he cares about embarrassment.

Kimberly Guilfoyle Broke Trump’s Most Important Rule

Donald Trump's administration has become a hotbed of sycophants and family members rather than qualified professionals. The president prioritizes loyalty over qualifications, leading to a series of incompetent and corrupt appointees. One such example is Kimberly Guilfoyle, who resigned as ambassador to Greece due to her embarrassing and cringe-worthy behavior.

Despite accusations of corruption, Guilfoyle claims innocence. However, her resignation wasn't solely due to corruption; rather, it was her overstepping of bounds and trying to leverage her connections to the president that led to her dismissal. Unlike other high-profile figures like Pete Hegseth, FBI Director Kash Patel, and Border Czar Tom Homan, who have remained in their positions despite alleged misconduct, Guilfoyle was let go.

Her resignation highlights the peculiar nature of Trump's administration, where self-dealing is predominantly a male-dominated issue.
