Guilfoyle used to be engaged to Donald Trump Jr. and was a campaign surrogate and fundraiser for the president. This time she was visiting as the U.S. ambassador to Greece to celebrate Greek independence day.

But the president made it awkward with an intro that was cheesier than feta by calling her “Kimberlay.”

“She’s an inspiration to a lot of people, especially if you happen to be Greek,” he said. “Kimberlay. Kimberlay Guilf. Kimberlay. Now, Kimberly Guilfoyle has been my friend for a long time. I love calling her Kimberlay.”

“That’s my little pet name, right?” he continued, turning to her.

“But you are the greatest, and I heard they love you over there,” he said. “And I hope you come back here in 12 years or whenever the term ends.”

Detractors on social media were disgusted by his moniker for Guilfoyle, who was married to Gavin Newsom in the aughts.
