Kimberly Guilfoyle’s Greek Ambassadorship in Turmoil as Trump and Rubio Express Fury

When Kimberly Guilfoyle arrived in Athens as the United States’ envoy, she probably expected a few diplomatic hiccups – not a storm of fury from the nation’s two most prominent foreign‑policy voices.

According to sources close to the State Department, both President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are “extremely angry” about a string of alleged missteps that have surfaced over the past weeks. The complaints range from lavish personal expenses to reports that Guilfoyle tried to barter influence for cash, even demanding a $100,000 credit‑card payoff from a MAGA donor.

One insider told the Associated Press that Rubio’s irritation peaked after Guilfoyle hugged him in Athens and then, just days later, was accused of threatening a dinner crowd with the claim that the United States could “undermine” the Greek government if it chose to. The ambassador’s behavior, the source said, left Rubio “no patience left” as the accusations kept piling up.

For Trump, the problem is equally personal. The former boyfriend’s ex‑girlfriend is now a high‑profile diplomat, and the leaks suggest she may have been using her “Trump card” to intimidate embassy staff, demand complimentary meals and even request private planes and helicopters for personal trips. A senior U.S. official warned that the president could decide her fate after the Columbus Day holiday.

The Wall Street Journal has compiled several instances that paint a picture of entitlement: a 4 a.m. ice‑cube tantrum, a night‑time party on Mykonos’s Psarou Beach, and a furious text to a donor after being snubbed from a Greek‑themed World Economic Forum event in Davos. Guilfoyle has dismissed the accusations, calling the released messages “fabricated,” but the State Department’s Office of Inspector General has opened a formal probe covering everything from possible substance abuse to questionable gifts.

Rubio’s own frustration was captured on a recorded conversation as he left Athens, sighing, “You guys walk around thinking a single source is gospel. It’s not how we do things.” He made no secret that he had been watching Guilfoyle’s every move, even as she tried to wave goodbye.

All eyes now turn to the White House and the State Department. Both have been asked for comment but remain tight‑lipped. If the pressure mounts, Guilfoyle could find herself out of the diplomatic fast lane sooner rather than later, a dramatic fall for a former Fox News host who once shared a high‑profile romance with Donald Trump Jr.
