The Aporia · Trump says he's considering firing Kimberly Guilfoyle as he brutally admits: 'We're not happy'

President Donald Trump told reporters he is considering firing US Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle due to recent controversies over her conduct. The president said, “We’re not happy,” when asked about the situation. This comes after reports that Guilfoyle violated State Department guidelines by accepting gifts and engaging in luxury travel while ambassador. Top Democrats have urged Senator Marco Rubio to investigate these claims, suggesting Guilfoyle is unfit for her role if the allegations are true.

Story summary

Kimberly Guilfoyle was forced to resign as U.S. Ambassador to Greece on October 13, 2026, amid allegations of corruption and misconduct. The Wall Street Journal had previously reported that Guilfoyle sought help from a political ally, Eric Deters, to pay off a $100,000 American Express credit card bill before her confirmation hearing as ambassador, allegedly offering connections with political officials in return.

Guilfoyle's departure was marked by the Greek president refusing her a traditional farewell ceremony due to the scandal surrounding her tenure. This decision highlighted the negative impact of the allegations on her professional reputation and public image.

In addition to losing her diplomatic position, Guilfoyle faced criticism from former associates within the Trump family. President Donald Trump publicly distanced himself from her, stating she was "never family," despite her engagement to his son Donald Jr. Other members of the Trump inner circle, including Melania Trump, Ivanka Trump, Tiffany Trump, and Lara Trump (now married to Donald Jr.), also maintained a cold or distant stance towards Guilfoyle following her ousting.

Guilfoyle's abrupt departure from her post marks one of the shortest tenures for an ambassador in recent history, with the incident overshadowed only by Katie Zacharia's brief stint as White House Press Secretary. Despite the allegations against her, Guilfoyle defended herself on social media, stating that the accusations were false and expressing gratitude to President Trump for the opportunity she had been given.
