Trump advisers call out Kimberly Guilfoyle as one of the biggest 'grifters'

Raw Story

Donald Trump doesn't like when other people use his name to cash in, but so far he doesn't seem to mind his eldest son's fiancée Kimberly Guilfoyle trading on her "access and proximity" to him.

The former president's allies and advisers spoke off the record to The Daily Beast about the "grifters" who "disproportionately enriched themselves" during the Trump presidency, and some of those sources cast aspersion at Guilfoyle, a former Fox News host who's engaged to Donald Trump Jr.

“The president is very fond of her,” said one source close to Trump.

But other sources accuse her of trading on her "access and proximity" to get luxury clothing and other perks, as well as suspiciously high payments for her political work.

It seems that they have reached their final stage before going belly up.

Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump reported between $172 million and $640 million in outside income while working in the White House, according to an analysis of financial disclosures by CREW. It is impossible to tell the exact amount as the income is sometimes reported in broad ranges and cover four months of income before Ivanka Trump officially joined her father’s administration and nearly one month before Jared Kushner joined.

This doesn't happen to peope in healthy and happy relationships.

In 2001, Guilfoyle married politician Gavin Newsom, then a San Francisco city supervisor. Newsom was elected Mayor of San Francisco in 2003...In January 2005, citing the strain of a bicoastal marriage, Guilfoyle and Newsom jointly filed for divorce.Their divorce was final on February 28, 2006.

On May 27, 2006, in Barbados, Guilfoyle married furniture heir Eric Villency. Guilfoyle gave birth to their son, Ronan Anthony, on October 4, 2006. In June 2009, Guilfoyle and Villency announced that they were separating; their divorce was finalized later that year.

In June 2018, Vanessa Trump, who had filed for divorce three months earlier, confirmed that Guilfoyle was dating her estranged husband, Donald Trump Jr. The Trumps' divorce was final in 2018.

In mid-2019, Guilfoyle and Trump Jr. jointly purchased a $4.4 million home in The Hamptons. They sold it in March 2021 during the Covid pandemic for $8.14 million. In March 2021, Guilfoyle and Trump Jr. jointly purchased a $9.7 million home in Jupiter, Florida. Guilfoyle and Trump became engaged on December 31, 2020. The news of the engagement was not made public until January 2022.

that rnc presentation was unforettable, likely the most coke & meth'd out public presenter I've seen in my lifetime on full display.

it was just astonishing. kind of wonder how come these charlatans haven't been busted big time.

well exceot, they don't have to deal with such trivia matters that others would have to like pay the justice system time/money for the same.

Donald Trump Jr. & Kimberly Guilfoyle Finally Get The Hint & Leave The Hamptons

the 25-acre natural pond. Whether or not the new owners plan on keeping Don Jr.'s notorious "gun room," the property is a gorgeous get and surely better off without them.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out, guys!
