Guilfoyle would take White House job and Don Jr. might run for office

Kimberly Guilfoyle says she would put her life on hold to work at the White House if President Donald Trump asked her to.

And her boyfriend Donald Trump Jr. insists he’s not worried about Special Counsel Robert Mueller trapping him in his wide-ranging Russia probe, even as a proxy target for his more famous father.

Trump Jr. and Guilfoyle talked about campaigning, future plans and more during their first joint TV interview as a couple. The second installment airs Tuesday, only on DailyMailTV.

With three divorces and six children between them, Guilfoyle jokes that they’re somehow rebooting the Brady Bunch franchise as ‘The Donberly Bunch.’ 

The president’s son said they’ve already heard they’re ‘the most Googled couple on the Internet.’ Even if Meghan Markle and Prince Harry might object, the couple whose friends call them ‘Kim and Don’ have undeniable chemistry.

Guilfoyle, 49, left her job co-hosting ‘The Five’ on the Fox News Channel in July to become vice chairwoman of the pro-Trump America First Action super PAC, where former White House press secretary Sean Spicer is a senior adviser. Now she’s dating the president’s eldest son, whose sister-in-law Lara is fast becoming the public face of the 2020 re-election campaign.

Jumping directly into Trumpworld’s glitz from just a few steps into the tall grass wouldn’t take much. ‘If he needs me and he asks me, I would go,’ Guilfoyle said of relocating to Washington for a West Wing job close to the president. 

DON’T TELL HARRY AND MEGHAN (OR JAY AND BEY): Trump Jr. said he’s heard he and Kimberly are ‘the most Googled couple on the Internet’

The president’s son says he’s comfortable with his campaign conduct and has ‘zero’ worries about being a target of the Russia probe helmed by Special Counsel Robert Mueller (right), but ‘nothing would surprise me at this point’

‘Kim and Don’ spoke with DailyMailTV near a Montana campaign stop supporting Republican U.S. Senate candidate Matt Rosendale 

Just like the 2016 campaign slogan ‘Make America Great Again’ morphed into ‘MAGA,’ the president’s 2020 version ‘Keep America Great’ will eventually be known as KAG – Guilfoyle’s initials.

‘If POTUS brings her here,’ a White House aide told DailyMail.com, ‘he’ll drag her on stage at every rally for that reason alone. And it would help him. She’s dynamite.’

That scenario could run afoul of the Hatch Act, a federal law that prohibits paid government employees from using their jobs to influence partisan political contests.

But stumping for Trump would be legal if Guilfoyle worked for his 2020 campaign, as long as she first took 120 days off. That’s a legally required ‘cooling off period.’

She and her 40-year-old beau of five months say the president has given the relationship his blessing.

‘He really likes Kimberly,’ Trump Jr. said. ‘Always has, and Always will.’

Trump Jr. said he might run for office himself someday. 

Asked about rumors that he has his eye on the New York governor’s mansion, he said he ‘would never rule anything out. … I do enjoy the campaigning.’ 

DailyMailTV interviewed the two on a secluded ranch 90 minutes southwest of Bozeman, Montana, where Republican U.S. Senate candidate Matt Rosendale and a group of donors were aiming sniper rifles at targets between 100 yards and 1 mile away.

Like Trump Jr., who swept through North Dakota and Montana without shaving, Guilfoyle is comfortable in either Levi’s or Louboutin.

‘I can put her with my blue-collar friends,’ Trump Jr. said.

‘And shoot!’ she jumped in. 

‘You could walk into a room with the biggest titans of industry two minutes later,’ he said, and ‘[she would] fit in with either one of them.’ 

Trump Jr. hit his rifle target at the mile marker, sending a metallic ‘plink’ back to the shooting party with a 5-second delay.

He insisted, though, that he’s not worried about becoming a target himself in Washington’s latest high-stakes staring match.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller reportedly hasn’t let go of a June 2016 meeting Trump Jr. attended with a Russian lawyer who he thought would show up with opposition research on Hillary Clinton.

Democratic congressional leaders have predicted a full account of the meeting, which included presidential son-in-law Jared Kushner and then-campaign chairman Paul Manafort, would prove some level of collusion with the Kremlin to tilt the election away from Hillary Clinton.

Trump Jr. insists nothing came of it. And after a 15-month media avalanche, he brushed the whole thing off the collar of his blue fleece pullover.

‘Allegations and innuendo,’ he shrugged.

With Manafort facing the rest of his life in prison for financial crimes unrelated to Trump, inside-the-beltway prognosticators are wondering when Mueller might wrap up his work.

Trade one podium for another? Guilfoyle has been touted as a potential White House press secretary in the past, including privately by President Trump himself

President Donald Trump has seen an unusually brisk churn of senior staffers – Press Secretary Sean Spicer lasted just six months – leading to constant speculation about who might be next through the revolving door

Current White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders is rumored to be thinking about an exit from the West Wing, and some around her think she won’t be there in January

So far the special counsel’s office has given no signal that anyone or anything has implicated the president in criminal wrongdoing. But then there’s Don Jr.

‘The big nightmare scenario is Mueller might go after his kids,’ said a Trump ally who speaks to the president regularly. ‘He’s not going to get him so, you know, he’ll get Don Jr. for something ridiculous.’

The younger Trump said in Montana that investigators could ‘try to create something out of nothing,’ but he’s not concerned about becoming the second-best target if Mueller doesn’t lay a glove on the president.

‘Nothing would surprise me at this point,’ he said, ‘but I’m not worried about it because I know what I did. I know what everyone around me did. So there’s literally zero concern for me.’

Guilfoyle declared that Mueller has ‘nothing’ after ‘all of these millions of dollars spent. And years. And so far – nothing.’

Twenty-two months ago she would have been expected to publicly defend Donald Trump Sr. instead.

The pair’s Montana campaign swing included sniper-rifle shooting at targets up to a mile away; Trump Jr. hit a red diamond-shaped target and joked that he didn’t want his girlfriend to hear anything about ‘diamonds’

Kimberly said fellow Latinas who may object to her stumping for the anti-illegal-immigration Trump don’t dare say it to her face: ‘We are a country and a nation founded by immigrants and I want everybody to have that opportunity, but I don’t think people should cut in line’

Guilfoyle was on a short-list of candidates to be the president’s chief spokeswoman following the 2016 election, but the job of White House press secretary went to Spicer, a Republican National Committee loyalist.

His early press briefings, criticized as erratic and seemingly scripted for parody, drove near-constant chatter among senior Trump aides about replacing him. The president loved his verbal brawling, so he stayed.

But Guilfoyle told the San Jose Mercury News just four months into Spicer’s tenure that she was having conversations about taking over the White House briefing podium. The New York Times had reported that President Trump had talked to allies about making the switch.

Fox News said at the time that Guilfoyle had a ‘long-term contract,’ suggesting she was locked in. That’s no longer the case.

When the president named Anthony Scaramucci his communications director nine weeks later, Spicer resigned in protest. ‘The Mooch’ famously lasted 10 days, long enough to promote deputy press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders during a P.T. Barnum-like press conference.

That was 14 months ago. Sanders’ top deputy Raj Shah is now on his way out, and will reportedly hand in his West Wing pass after Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation battle ends.

Some senior officials doubt Sanders will still be there when 2019 begins.

‘It’s not inevitable,’ one told DailyMail.com, ‘but the midterms and the new Congress coming in in January would be a logical time to shuffle things.’

The same Trump aide said the president ‘would surprise no one’ by picking someone to succeed Sanders who he’s seen frequently on television.

Asked to choose either Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi or PETA president Ingrid Newkirk as a dinner companion, the outdoorsman Trump Jr. joked that he might choose to starve

A confidant of President Trump said of the Russia probe that ‘the big nightmare scenario is [Robert] Mueller might go after his kids. He’s not going to get him so, you know, he’ll get Don Jr. for something ridiculous’; Don Jr. says ‘I’m not worried about it’ 

The White House’s communications platoon has few remaining souls who could step into Sanders’ job. Heather Nauert, the chief spokeswoman at the State Department, is a name that West Wing aides keep hearing, one said.

Guilfoyle would bring a scrappier, more adversarial tone to the press corps. Asked in Montana if she could defend President Trump’s complaints about ‘fake news,’ she launched into her own complaint about ‘bias in the media’ and vented about how slanted reporting hurts good journalists’ reputations.

Photogenic and half-Puerto Rican, she would also bring a minority face to the White House briefing room. And she’s not shy about defending Trump in his squabbles with the Hispanic community over his long-promised border wall, his crusade against illegal immigration and, more recently, his denials about Puerto Rico’s death toll from Hurricane Maria.

Asked how she responds to other Latinas who blame her for consorting with the enemy, her jaw dropped.

‘Nobody ever says anything like that to my face!’ Guilfoyle exclaimed. ‘You know better to say that to a Puerto Rican woman!’

‘We are a country and a nation founded by immigrants,’ she said, ‘and I want everybody to have that opportunity. But I don’t think people should cut in line.’

‘You know what I’ve seen as a prosecutor? I’ve seen people take advantage and bring young unaccompanied minors across and sell everything in their family, have their children be compromised, sick, ill, put in danger because they’re trying to go around the law,’ Guilfoyle continued. ‘That’s not protecting families or children.’

Guilfoyle dropped her engine to a lower gear just in time to hear her boyfriend strut his sense of humor.

Asked if he would rather have dinner with Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi or Ingrid Newkirk, the president of PETA, the unabashed hunter quipped: ‘Can I starve?’ 

Trump Jr. and Guilfoyle have been dating since late April; he and wife of 12 years Vanessa are in the midst of largely amicable divorce proceedings

DailyMailTV’s two-part interview was conducted by DailyMail.com’s U.S. political editor, David Martosko

In the same interview, he told DailyMailTV that in an age when lives can be ruined on both sides of he-said, she-said sexual misconduct claims, he fears more for his sons than for his daughters.

‘I’ve got boys, and I’ve got girls. And when I see what’s going on right now, it’s scary,’ he said with Guilfoyle by his side.

She believes Americans should give sexual assault accusers a fair hearing.

But the veteran criminal prosecutor also cautions that they should always be aware of political motivations that color controversies like the Brett Kavanaugh case.

‘I think it’s important, in terms of doing an investigation, to get the facts out there and find out,’ Guilfoyle said.

‘It’s very tough thirty five years later, but it doesn’t mean it should be ignored.’

The pair have been an inseparable couple since April 25, six weeks after Vanessa Trump, Don Jr.’s wife of 12 years, filed for an uncontested divorce.

In barren-hilled back country 90 minutes away from Bozeman, Rosendale supporters gathered for a sniper-rifle target shooting party with Guilfoyle and Trump Jr.

The 40-year-old Trump scion hit a red diamond-shaped metal target placed a full mile away. He told the huddle of Montanans that he hoped the diamond didn’t give Guilfoyle any ideas.

‘With her around that could be expensive,’ he joked, saying later: ‘It was the first time I ever called a hit a miss!’
