President Donald Trump opted not to visit Greece this week, embarrassing America's ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle, who promised people in Athens that he would, The Daily Mail reported on Friday.The ex-fiancée of Donald Trump Jr. had reportedly told Greeks that Trump would make the stop on his return trip following the NATO summit in nearby Ankara, Turkey. But instead, Trump snubbed Guilfoyle and did not travel to the Mediterranean country, despite not having any public events scheduled Friday through Sunday.The move apparently left Greek diplomats "disappointed" and "jaded," insiders told The Mail. It also put Guilfoyle's status as a close Trump family friend into question."Her selling of access is just not bought anymore," a source told The Mail. "Trump's failure to visit highlights growing concerns in Athens that Guilfoyle's influence over US foreign policy has fallen drastically short of what appeared to have been promised," The Mail reported.She had reportedly urged Trump to visit Greece "in a bid to help restore her image – which never really got off the ground."In 2015, Guilfoyle had said on Fox News that Greek people live as "freeloaders" and accused people in the country of "retiring too early.""It doesn't matter if you made great yogurt. I don't care," she said at the time. Insiders told the outlet that Guilfoyle's sway with the Trump administration appears to have waned."Soon after Trump picked her for the role, sources warned that the 'Margarita Girl' – as one former Fox colleague dubbed her because of her apparent love of the cocktail – to be on her best behavior and that the gig was not simply for partying in the sunshine," according to The Mail. "Guilfoyle appears to have taken the criticism in her stride, and just this month was pictured at gay-friendly Nammos beach club on Mykonos enjoying a glass of Champagne with the US Ambassador to Belgium, Bill White, and his husband," The Mail reported. "The following day, she flew into Paris and wore a nearly-nude maxi dress adorned with hundreds of crystals to attend the fashion week show of Greek designer Celia Kritharioti." Some Trump cabinet members have visited her in Greece. "But while she has successfully persuaded lower ranking Trump officials to visit her – including Secretaries of the Interior and Energy, Doug Burgum and Chris Wright – it was a visit from the big man himself that she desperately coveted," according to The Mail.
