WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are considering firing U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle after a series of reports alleging she has engaged in improper and possibly illegal conduct before and during her tenure in Athens.

A senior U.S. official said Sunday that Trump and Rubio are “extremely pissed off” by Guilfoyle’s reported conduct and would likely decide on what action to take this week after Monday’s Columbus Day holiday.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations, said Rubio had been particularly angry, not least because he visited Athens just last week and Guilfoyle attended most, if not all, of his events and greeted him on his arrival with a bear hug as the allegations swirled.

Well, we know Donald & Co. don't give a damn about corruption, and in fact, facilitate and profit from all of it themselves. It seems to me that Kimberly's mistake here was that she didn't kick up to the dementia-riddled, self-styled mob boss at the top.

    What the heck is "improper conduct" for Trump and Rubio? Not bringing in the necessary quota on foreign bribes?

    Junior found a younger and hotter and richer model. This post was probably meant to excommunicate Kimberly and keep her quiet while giving her something face-saving as a cover story.

    I could easily see them throwing her under the bus.

    If she doesn't have some quality dirt on them then she's even stupider than she looks and acts and deserves everything that's coming to her.

    It seems Junior is rather close with a Russian oligarch as recently as his wedding. Daddy has been running with them for decades. There is no way she doesn't know that. Collecting too much dirt on them and pointing that out to Junior or poppy could be hazardous to her health.

    "In retrospect, maybe we shouldn't have appointed a spent piece of used jet trash coke whore as the Ambassador." said no one from the bad old usa.
