This is a piece of news that surely has Catholics all over the world getting a head start on Thanksgiving. After of course cycling through Disbelief, then Horror and sweet, sweet relief. It was bad enough to have Newt Gingrich stomping around the Vatican (ok, it was his wife that was our Ambassador but we know Newt was the one getting Trump’s bidding done) but Kimberly Guilfoyle? Ms. tight, cleavage showing outfit wearing, walk onstage to fireworks with the bump & grind The Stripper tune playing? You’re damned right Catholics are relieved!
However it seems Junior’s ex really, really REALLY had her heart set on being the United States’ Ambassador to the Vatican. Knowing her she’d probably put out feelers (pun intended) to Vatican diplomatic folks in addition to lobbying our own Marc Rubio and Trumpty for the gig. One can only imagine the reaction at the Vatican but what suprised me reading this article from Inquisitr is that there was NO enthusiasm with Team Trump for it. Not even Trump who doesn’t have a religious bone in his body much less a Catholic one.
My bet is that until sometime after he entered politics Trump was a stone cold atheist who came to believe there was actually a god, who roams around and manifested on our little blue and white ball as a humanoid like being. He certainly acts like he’s god, or tries to. Also, when it comes to the Pope whether the current one or his predecessor Popes and the Vatican are on his sht list. Throwing Guilfoyle in the Pope’s/the Vatican’s face is exactly the kind of dickish move you’d expect Trump to make. For HIM to think ‘Naw, this is just too much’ speaks volumes.
The linked article makes clear that Trump himself called the idea a non-starter. His, and other’s thinking went to both her reputation (not mentioned but there’s the sex scandal baggage and ‘cougar’ wannabe aspect about her), her brashness and complete lack of subtlety needed in a top diplomatic post. Then there’s her fashion style (or lack thereof) with the tight dresses, the plunging and cleavage revealing necklines, the high slit skirts and so on. Let’s face it – she thinks she’s one of the hottest babes in the world and like flaunting her assets, be they real or silicone pumped up lips, boobs and butt:
Guilfoyle’s fashion sense has long been both a conversation starter and a dealbreaker. Even Donald Trump Jr., her ex-fiancé, reportedly wasn’t a fan. According to People magazine, Don Jr. once griped about her outfits and even thought another woman — socialite Bettina Anderson — would fit better into the Trump family’s aesthetic. But Kimberly Guilfoyle wasn’t apologetic in the slightest. Her signature glam remained on full display right up until her farewell bash in October 2025. After that, she packed her bags for Greece.
Halloween was a couple of weeks ago and it’s easy to imagine Guilfoyle heading into the Vatican dressed up like Satan’s girlfriend as you see in the title picture. One wonders how she ever got it into her head the Vatican was the place for HER to be. But hell, she’s batshit insane and we’ve all (including Don Jr. and Team Trump) known that for years. I wonder what she had on Junior or maybe Trump himself that allowed her to be Junior’s ‘fiance’ for what was it, five years? Six? Clearly that was a marriage that was never going to happen. Kimberly might think she’s hot but she’s nothing like what Trump himself considers to be so. How she was convinced to finally give up and allow the ‘breakup’ with Junior must be one hell of a story. Maybe someday it will make for an entertaining book.
Still, I really believe she had been too close to the action at Mar A Lago and seen/heard too much to piss her off. Trump wanted a ‘proper’ mate for Junior, someone closer to his age and who was blonde or close to it. You can be sure Kimberly was plotting some type of payback for not getting to marry into the Trump family AND getting replaced by a younger woman. That’s why making her Ambassador to the Vatican would have been a win-win for her and Trump. She could spend her days seducing young priests and being seen in a hugely visible diplomatic posting. Trump could stick it to the Vatican/Pope.
On the other hand he’s got a problem already with the bulk of Catholic voters and even the Bishops who’ve been supportive over the abortion issue aren’t as firmly in his corner as they once were. If he hasn’t managed to get abortion outlawed (yet) he at least made good on his promise to appoint Justices who would overturn Roe and the Bishops can play realpolitik with the best of them. That was as good as they can get. But Trump policies are hurting a lot of people the church cares about. Yes, they’ve got what I consider warped ideas about the role of women and of course opposition to abortion and birth control BUT they work around the world (including here) to help the poor and disadvantaged. Also, unlike Evangelical “Christians” they don’t make people sit through a sermon before feeding them or providing other help.
It’s a big constituency and our relationship with the Catholic Church affects other countries. Getting his butt whipped in 2020 made Trump pay at least a little attention as to why. He can also see he’s bleeding support from Catholics and other non Evangelical churchgoers. The Gingriches kept a relatively low profile during Trump’s first term. Guilfoyle not only wasn’t someone they could get to tone down her tacky-assed flamboyance, but someone who would flaunt it in ways that would embarrass even Trump. THAT is saying something.
The problem is they had to do SOMETHING with her to keep her from becoming a version of MTG and turning on Trump. Greece is where she wound up. Not a high profile country anymore but not a throwaway sh*thole either. Hell, it’s on the Med and that’s an awfully nice place to be. Plus, Greece is after all accepted around the world as the birthplace of Democracy so playing on Trump’s authoritarianism suggesting putting someone like Guilfoyle in as Ambassador would be a poke in the eye. I’m sure Greece, like just about any other country would be is insulted. However they do take pride in having given birth to Democratic rule and Trump sending them Guilfoyle to proclaim American authoritarian rule has got to be pissing off Greeks big-time.
Well, it’s late but tomorrow is Sunday and a story about religion seemed appropriate. The Vatican dodged a bullet. I’m sure in the Vatican and in every Catholic church in the world this news Guilfoyle fought for that Ambassadorship and got shot down will be part of prayers of thanks during the ‘let us take a moment to say our own private prayers’ time during services.
Oh FFS what orbit was that big Vag rotating about on, thinking she’s get her own set of keys to that place. It’s acceptable ‘man’ is after the same water, but she definitely holds a different cup, and so, it’s most likely it does not come with much integrity and it’s unfaithfully cracked – personal, and or otherwise.
I did hang out with Gavin Newsom after he broke with Kimberly. I can tell he has evolved. But Kimberly is “special”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimberly_Guilfoyle
