Donald Trump is considering appointing ex-Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle as his ambassador to Greece, according to multiple sources.
Guilfoyle, 55, studied international law and entered public life as a prosecutor in San Francisco and Los Angeles, but entered the Trump orbit as fiancee to the president-elect’s son Don Jr.
Insiders said the president could think of no one better to represent him in a key posting.
But the announcement was expected hours after DailyMail.com published photographs of Don Jr. hand in with a Palm Beach socialite, amid reports he was moving on.
‘There are a ton of people vying for this. It is one of the hottest posts in the world,’ said a source familiar with the president-elect’s thinking.
‘Not just because it’s an amazing place place to live, but because it’s a hotbed of activity with everything that is happening in Syria, throughout the middle east, and the migrant crisis.’
They added that Guilfoyle, aside from her relationship with Don Jr. had known Trump for 20 years, and raised hundreds of millions of dollars for his campaigns.
‘He wants her to represent him on the world stage ,’ they added.

‘She studied international law and will be amazing spokeswoman for Donald Trump.
‘She’ll be the Jackie O of the MAGA movement.’
Guilfoyle was assistant district attorney in San Francisco from 2000 to 2004.
But it was her marriage to Democratic politician Gavin Newsom that brought into the public eye, when she was first lady of San Francisco during his first two years as mayor of that city.
Insiders said that experience would help her cope with the demands of being Trump’s representative overseas.
Guilfoyle was an energetic campaigner for Trump and appeared on stage with the family at the election night party in West Palm Beach.
She addressed foreign policy during her convention speech in Milwaukee.

‘In our vision, America will combat foreign aggressors and ensure our service members are protected, not abandoned, as they carry out their dangerous missions abroad, because we know we can only have peace through strength,’ she said in July.
But the appointment comes as her fiancee Don Jr. has been repeatedly pictured with Bettina Anderson, 38, around Palm Beach, suggesting his six-year engagement to Guilfoyle is over.
It means she will likely b eswapping life in Florida for Jefferson House, the American ambassador’s residence in the Greek capital Athens.
It comes with a swimming pool in the backyard and enough reception space to entertain hundreds of dignitaries.
It was named for Thomas Jefferson who held up Greek democracy as the most important influence on the founding of the American republic.
