I Know Real Reason Trump Fired Kimberly Guilfoyle | Inside Trump’s Head
Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles dig into Kimberly Guilfoyle’s abrupt exit as ambassador to Greece and the leaked messages that preceded it. Why was she pushed out, and what does she know about the Trump family? Wolff argues that her fall exposes a familiar pattern in Trump’s circle: people using power to chase money, status and the next job. They also discuss new White House press secretary Katie Zacharia and why Wolff thinks Trump picked her to be the face of his administration. As the midterms approach, they consider what happens if Trump loses control of Congress but refuses to see it as a defeat. They weigh Elon Musk’s enormous spending on Republican races and what he might expect in return. Then Wolff offers his theory of Trump’s renewed interest in Vladimir Putin, from the deal over Russian diesel to the wealth and influence he believes Trump wants after the White House.

Kimberly takes the fall as it’s one grift too many. This one proved too loud to be ignored. She will probably be given a pardon.

Joanna’s new Katy Zachariah voice is exactly the same as her new old RFK junior voice.
It’s not funny, not relevant, not professional and not necessary. It cheapens the podcast.

I disagree. He won‘t set up a second WH at Mar-a-Lago. He will not accept a lost midterm election. Also the fact that he is changing the WH as if it belongs to him proves he believes he can stay there forever.

Who the hell would pay money to sit and listen to these two crap on for a couple of hours?
I'm a Liberal, but come on. The self importance of these two is on another level 😮

Your numerous advertisements are getting tedious. Glad you're making big money. It's rather disgusting, Joanna. I guess you guys are speaking to the older crowd. Good luck.

Great to see you both at the table in the same shot.
Goes without saying the content is superb.
Real!!
I loved the quick Trump impression 😂
It really put him in perspective 👍😊

If I was Kimberley I’d be writing a tell all book after being shafted by the Trumps. Surely she didn’t sign a non disclosure contract if DJT didn’t give her a massive payout to “ be quiet piggy”. Obviously she didn’t get a big payout if she’s harassing a donor to pay off her $100,000 credit card bill.

Sorry, couldn't resist a limerick….😊
'When Karoline Leavitt expired.
Trump called in Kate Zachariah.
On her first day at work,
she looked like a jerk.
This Apprentice may soon hear – "Your Fired" '

Kimberly was married to Gavin? How did that happen? How did they meet? When were they married? When were they divorced and why? Now Gavin wants to run for President.

Joanna, I love that you said “Michael and I” as the norm seems to have become ‘me and Michael’. The latter grates me every time. 😖

I am sure the dems don't want to impeach Trump, but, since he is capable of doing literally anything, they might not have a choice: for instance, what if it were discovered that he really was working with N.K. to allow an attack on SoCal?

Guilfoyle’s next move…a gig to be Elvira on Halloween, of course!

At least the Kimberly Guilfoyl scandal is one we can be entertained by instead of being utterly horrified, as usual.

I don’t think this will affect Gavin Newsom at all. I think Kimberly Guilfoyle was a very different person back then. I grew up in California and I come from a political family, and my parents followed him very closely, and she was not the same person back then.

Does the British co-host of this podcast not realize she also has vocal fry?
