POLITICO Playbook: Guilfoyle signs up with Greitens — and incurs Trump’s wrath

GUILFOYLE RANKLES TRUMP — It’s DONALD TRUMP’S most frequent complaint: people profiting off his name. The latest offender? His son’s girlfriend, MAGA’s own Eva Perón, KIMBERLY GUILFOYLE. Aides told Playbookthat Trump has been openly griping that Guilfoyle joined ERIC GREITENS’ campaign for Senate in Missouri as national campaign chair, and he’s becoming increasingly short with Guilfoyle.
“Trump thinks Greitens is problematic, and that Kim is annoying,” said one Trump adviser. “He said, ‘Why the f--- is she working for him?’”

Another adviser said Trump would not endorse Greitens if the primary were today, citing the scandal that forced him to resign as governor three years ago: allegations that he tied up, sexually assaulted and blackmailed a St. Louis hairdresser with whom he had an affair in 2015. A March poll conducted by Trump’s former pollster TONY FABRIZIO shows Greitens with a 40-point lead over the next closest contender.

Trump has been huddling with other candidates in the competitive race to replace GOP Sen. ROY BLUNT, including Rep. BILLY LONG (R-Mo.), who paid homage to him at Mar-a-Lago this spring, and Missouri A.G. ERIC SCHMITT, who visited Trump twice, once at Mar-a-Lago and another time at Bedminster this year. One Trump adviser said Greitens has the disadvantage of being associated with MIKE PENCE because his former chief of staff, NICK AYERS, ran his gubernatorial campaign.

Multiple advisers said Trump has been concerned that attaching Guilfoyle’s name to Greitens will look like an implicit endorsement from him. The first warning it would not came in a Washington Examiner story in April by David Drucker about Guilfoyle’s new gig. It said her affiliation with Greitens would not even mean an endorsement from her boyfriend DONALD TRUMP JR., let alone his father.

Greitens was treated a bit badly.

However, he is untrustworthy.

He is obviously being pushed to deprive a better candidate an opportunity.
