Trump finds Kimberly Guilfoyle 'annoying', made her MAGA PAC finance chair after much coaxing
Former President Donald Trump might not believe that 'the best is yet to come' when it comes to Don Jr's girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle. Latest report suggests that he finds her 'annoying.'
According to the Politico Playbook, the ex-POTUS is done having "people profiting off his name" and Guilfoyle is the latest offender. "Aides told Playbook that Trump has been openly griping that Guilfoyle joined ERIC GREITENS’ campaign for Senate in Missouri as national campaign chair, and he’s becoming increasingly short with Guilfoyle," the report said. Trump views the former Navy SEAL's run for the Senate seat being vacated by Sen Roy Blunt (R) as problematic for the Republican party due to his controversial past. Greitens was ousted as Missouri governor in 2018 over sexual abuse and blackmail allegations involving his former mistress.

Trump thinks 'Kim is annoying'
Trump does not have a favorable opinion of Greitens or Guilfoyle. "Trump thinks Greitens is problematic, and that Kim is annoying, " on Trump insider told the outlet, adding, "He [Trump] said, 'Why the f**k is she working for him?'" Since he does not approve of Greitens, the fact that the latter has employed his elder son's girlfriend for his campaign has left a bitter taste in Trump's mouth and he is worried that Guilfoyle's involvement would give off the wrong impression that he was endorsing Greitens.
Things are not looking good for Guilfoyle as the Trump team is looking to distance itself from her. According to Politico, she had been nudging the team to join the Make America Great Again Action super PAC for a while before she was finally made the national finance chair of the PAC late last month. The outlet said that Guilfoyle had texted them saying that reports that she was at odds with the former president's team were completely false.
How did the viral Giulfoyle memes start?
Guilfoyle, the former Fox News personality who was fired over sexual harassment claims, started making headlines after she started dating Don Jr in May 2018, three months after his wife Vanessa filed for divorce. They made their debut as a couple at a send-off party for then-President Trump's ambassador to Germany, Richard Grenell. She joined the Trump re-election campaign and soon became a leading target for trolls on social media as they made innumerable memes out of her speeches and reactions.
She also landed herself in hot waters more than once. She raised eyebrows during the presidential campaign for bragging that she would give lap dances to big-money donors. Guilfoyle tested positive for the coronavirus after attending two Trump rallies in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Phoenix, Arizona in July, last year -- events that had no social distancing or mask requirements. At the time, Sergio Gor, the chief of staff for the Trump Victory Finance Committee, told CNN that Trump Jr has tested negative for the disease but was self-isolating and also canceling all public events as a precautionary measure.
The meme that went viral of Guilfoyle was made from her screaming speech at the Republican National Convention in August 2020. "President Trump is the leader who will rebuild the promise of America and ensure that every citizen can realize their American dream!" Guilfoyle said in her speech. "Ladies and gentlemen, leaders and fighters for freedom and liberty and the American dream, the best is yet to come!"
