Kimberly Guilfoyle, Top Fund-Raising Official for Trump Campaign, Tests Positive

Source: NY Times

Kimberly Guilfoyle, the girlfriend of President Trump’s eldest son and a top fund-raising official for the Trump re-election campaign, tested positive for the coronavirus on Friday before a Fourth of July event at Mount Rushmore, a person familiar with her condition said.

Ms. Guilfoyle traveled to South Dakota with Mr. Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr., in anticipation of attending a huge fireworks display where the president was set to speak. They did not travel aboard Air Force One, according to the person familiar with her condition, and she was the only person in the group who tested positive.

As a routine precaution, people who come in close contact with Mr. Trump are screened for the virus.

Ms. Guilfoyle is the third person in possible proximity to Mr. Trump known to have contracted the virus. A personal valet who served Mr. Trump his food and the press secretary for Vice President Mike Pence tested positive for the virus in May.Ms. Guilfoyle was not experiencing symptoms, the person familiar with her condition said. She and the younger Mr. Trump never met up with the president’s entourage, the person said. Out of caution, the couple plans to drive back from South Dakota to the East Coast, the person said.

his "girlfriend" since she is being PAID to escort him everywhere. The tRump "men" really are attracted to women who have to be paid to spend time with them. Must be a trait they inherited from great grandpa, the pimp. Ms. Guilfoyle will probably ask for a raise now that her health is being put at risk. At the moment, she is being paid $15,000 a month, just the same as Eric's wife. This comes from donors to the Parscale Pac.

Very generous. vBut shouldn't they be isolating in a hotel in SD instead of traveling and spreading the virus across the country?

since it's unlikely that they've ever used one before.

It *is* likely that they would steal them all and attempt to sell them.

Why is she getting a monthly check for $15,000 from Parscale's Pac? Yeah, right. She is "dating" him the same way Maleria "dated" tRump. Leave the cash on the dresser.

They always say, "No symptoms," as if somehow that means they don't really have it.

I bet this is going to be a FUN DRIVE BACK! Where do they think they're going to stay? Would a hotel let them stay?

She's all alone in her gilded world now, and she'd better hope she's not linked to any top tier infections.

With the new White House messaging of “we have to live with it”, I wonder if they aren’t trying to show that close associates get it and recover easily.

Sorry, but I don’t trust anything Trump related.

Herman Cain too, and BOOM they have a change of heart. Like in the movies.

Compassion for their fellow man!

Scales falling from their eyes!

Bill Murray in Scrooged.

Their hearts grew six sizes that day, grinch kine stuff.

And so suddenly it dawns on Donald that people fuckng care about this.

Maybe he will see that if he actually chose to figure out how to solve this problem for us on a national level with testing and tracing and federal support for the states people will like him! He wants us to like him. He’s just a sad old farty gross ignorant malevolent treasonous smelly lonely monster that thinks we all hate his guts.

Maybe we would start to love him and see how ✨wonderful✨ he is deep inside if he fixes the fucking problem and stops breaking absolutely everything! ✨🧚🏼🧚?♀️🧚🏼🧞?♂️

Kimberly or Kymberleigh or whatever, honey, good luck. Stand up for yourself. Don’t let them bully you into minimizing this. Use it to save us please.
