Kimberly Guilfoyle on $90,000 "Athens spending spree," says Daily Mail
What ambassadorial residence is complete without a brand new basketball court?
Is this an April Fool’s joke? Oxi, actually.
According to a new report in the Daily Mail — which very many Americans will likely see thanks to a prominent link to it from The Drudge Report — the U.S. ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, “is building a $58,000 basketball court at the official US residence” in Athens. 🏀🏀
In addition to that, reports the Daily Mail, “according to a prospective contract” Ambassador Guilfoyle is “seeking to add a personal photographer to the US government payroll at $29,000 per year.”
We’re no mathematicians, but seems like that clocks in at slightly under $90K but hey, who’s counting?
The news comes as a judge has halted construction on President Trump’s planned $400 million ballroom on the site of the White House's demolished East Wing — a decision that has reportedly left the Don seething.
And as it is revealed that ex-mistress of all things MAGA — and also, likely somebody’s mistress — Kristi Noem’s now discredited, thinly authorized (oh and also, Trump disowned) $220 million ad campaign bought things like makeup, horses, and items from a Magic Store (but apparently no basketballs).
Well abra-fuckin-cadabra said a family of American taxpayers who were too busy selling their mother to the highest bidder in order to fill up their gas tank to elaborate. 🧙🏻♀️🔮🪄
We’d reach out to the embassy’s press attaché in Athens for comment, but we’re not actually sure there is one — sometimes they answer the phone, usually they don’t.*
We’d also be happy to reach out to some Democratic members of Congress for their thoughts, but most are either too busy at the bar in Vegas or gearing up for another echo-chamber appearance on MSNOW.
Basketball court or not (compared to the cost of a new White House ballroom, it’s actually not that much), we have said before and will say again, in 2026 it is inappropriate for anyone, anywhere to wear fur.
Incidentally, maybe give that a rethink, Marco Rubio? Hell, even Donald Trump’s got a press rep or two — that helps avoid stories like this.
