Before Donald Trump named Sean Spicer press secretary, everyone wondered who would fill the role. A new report indicates Trump may replace Spicer with Fox News Kimberly Guilfoyle, which is a possibility thats been being floated for months.
Back in October, she was seen entering Trump Tower and rumors began swirling she was up for a position on the communications team. By December, the speculation hit its fever pitch and political observers were sure Guilfoyle would be involved with the operation somehow, whether as press secretary or in an ancillary role. Even some of her Fox News colleagues spoke out in favor of her heading to the White House.
As we all know, the gig ended up going to Spicer, who made his debut with a bang when he began railing against the media for reporting that Trumps inauguration had anything but millions of attendees. He hasnt been delivering those bangs to the presidents liking anymore, though, as evidenced by yesterdays tweets from Trump. On Twitter and later in an interview, he suggested doing away with press briefings.
Still, a New York Times report yesterday said, while Mr. Trump has raised the Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle to allies as a possible press secretary, he has spent several hours with Mr. Spicer this week, praising his television ratings during the briefings.
Though Trump has been claiming he wants to stop the briefings, his actions indicate otherwise. Who knows, but maybe well see Guilfoyle at that podium sooner than we think. The only question left then would be who will play her on Saturday Night Live?

(17,235 posts)the opposite. Kate McKinnon would do a great job as Kimberly Guilfoyle. drumpf wants a Pox news imbed to carry his message and lies. When drumpf starts telling someone they are doing a great job, you can be certain they will be fired soon. Spicy will get his pink slip next week after tonight's SNL skit. drumpf prefers short skirts, plunging necklines and heels to the likes of Spicy. Spicy will actually be the winner if he is fired.
