President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Kimberly Guilfoyle as the US ambassador to Greece. Guilfoyle and Trump’s son Don Jr. were dating previously but according to a Page Six exclusive, they parted ways.

Trump described her as a longtime friend and ally in a post on Truth Social. He highlighted her extensive background in law, media, and politics, along with her sharp intellect, as qualifications that make her well-suited to represent the United States and protect its interests internationally.

Regarding Kimberly Guilfoyle's appointment, netizens had a few reactions to share. One X user wrote,

“So, he breaks up with her and shipped her off to Greece? I smell a Hallmark movie.”

Netizens reacted to the decision saying it would make a Hollywood romcom movie but others said Trump’s move was responsible.

“This would make a great romcom if Hollywood could put aside the politics for a minute,” a social media user noted.
“Now we are getting the FULL reality show treatment,” an internet user shared.
“As far away as possible…a responsible father,” an online user pointed out.

Social media users said the decision was the best for Kimberly Guilfoyle while others pointed out that she could now have a four-year vacation.

“The Greece ambassadorship isn't really one for political appointees; this solves the Don Jr. problem, but creates a whole mess of OTHER problems,” a person commented on X.
“Happy for her. Very good of Trump. Go find a hot Greek man, gurl!” an online commentator wrote.
“They take family dysfunction to a different level,” another X user mentioned.
“Ok, go have a 4 year vacation in Greece,” a netizen remarked.

“I’m honored to accept President Trump’s nomination to serve as the next Ambassador to Greece and I look forward to earning the support of the U.S. Senate. President Trump’s historic victory is bringing hope and optimism to the American people and to freedom-loving allies across the world. It was the democratic values born in Greece that helped shape the founding of America.”

She expressed her commitment to honoring history by fostering progress both domestically and internationally. As ambassador, she pledged to advance the Trump agenda, strengthen ties with Greece, and promote a new era of peace and prosperity.
