Kimberly Guilfoyle resigned as U.S. ambassador to Greece after the White House asked her to step down, following Wall Street Journal reports alleging she asked a donor to cover a $100,000 Amex bill and bragged about Greek business connections at Davos. Trump told reporters she wasn't family, noting only that she 'dated my son a long time ago' and that 'we didn't like what we were reading.'

That framing contrasts with Trump's remarks from a March Greek Independence Day ceremony, when he called her 'my friend for a long time' and said she was 'the greatest.' Guilfoyle has called the allegations false and said she intends to vigorously defend her name.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK

In March she was the greatest, and by now she's somebody who dated his son a long time ago. That's a quick trip from friend to stranger, about the time it takes to read one newspaper story. You'd think a man who handed out an ambassadorship would remember who he handed it to, but memory gets awful short once the bill shows up on the Amex.
