She could turn from villain to hero in the eyes of her countrymen if she were to spill the beans and help to take down some of the worse criminals in the Trump organization. She should consider it. It might help to salvage her reputation.

61

u/d_c_d_ 10h ago

Unfortunately, she can definitely be bought.

19

u/fondledbydolphins 9h ago

I mean... she's already bought.

I think she's smart enough to realize no one will glorify her if she turns trump in. Hell, they won't even respect her and she'll still hold no official position and have $100k in credit card debt.

Her best bet is to keep that dirt hidden (if she does have it) and use it to get another position and her debt paid off.

15

u/BakedBrie1993 New York 9h ago

I will. I will glorify her. I state now I will build her a statue and worship it daily if she reveals all the dirty secrets and helps take him down. Lol

1

u/TheCrimsonSteel 8h ago

And if she reveals all the dirty secrets she has and it doesn't help take him down?

3

u/BakedBrie1993 New York 8h ago

Then just an altar and ill visit it once a month.

•

u/TheCrimsonSteel 7h ago

Fair enough. Only reason I ask is there have been far too many instances of, "this will be the thing that does it."

Not that I wouldn't want her to spill the beans, I'm just a bit jaded at this point

•

u/BakedBrie1993 New York 5h ago

To be clear- I am joking. Reality is that if she has stuff she will get bought off before she reveals anything.

But I would love to see him indicted so I would happily kiss the foot of whomever finally makes that happen, even if they suck and have an uncanny valley melty face.

•

u/TheCrimsonSteel 5h ago

I mean in the sense that what insight does she actually have if they already basically tried to give her one of those classic government "ambassador as forced retirement/political banishment" by giving her the honor of going far away and being someone else's problem

1

u/082426grateful 8h ago

I like your attitude about it. You don’t secretly have a crush on her do you? If not, then we 🤝

•

u/BakedBrie1993 New York 5h ago

I only crush on human beings.

•

u/jedi21knight 7h ago

She is not worthy of the hero arc or a redemption story or to be glorified, but if she does reveal the dirt and have the receipts and takes down this administration, paying off her debt of 100k is money well invested and I would celebrate her because nothing else seems to take down or stop these awful people.

•

u/BakedBrie1993 New York 5h ago

Agreed. But she won't do anything. She will get bought off. They have the justice dept and billions at their disposal to quiet the story and placate her.

•

u/notsam57 5h ago

she’s not smart enough to ask for bribes in writing. the kind of people trump surrounds himself with are petty and short sighted. i wouldn’t be surprised if she does release it if she feels slighted by the family.

•

u/OkSmoke9195 5h ago

$100k seems like a deal!

•

u/officer897177 3h ago

Trump’s 2016 campaign was almost derailed because he was too cheap to properly bury the stormy Daniels story. I have a feeling age has not granted wisdom in this case.

•

u/Puglady25 1h ago

She was documenting a lot of stuff in a journal. Was it because she likes journaling? NO. It's probably because she was going to write a book after Trump died.

Now she's humiliated and angry. So the question is: will she take their money and keep quiet and lay low? Or will she take the opportunity to write the book, make money and get all the fame and attention? She's a narcissist and a professional grifter, so I'm not sure.

I mean, she's a horrible person, but playing the "tell all author," and parading around on talk shows (probably playing up the danger she's in) sounds like it would be appealing to her.

It's a toss up in my mind.

•

u/fondledbydolphins 1h ago

Sometimes keeping information really is only about covering your ass.

It’s smart, if you can keep the information secure.

•

u/cytherian New Jersey 1h ago

Lying under oath... not a good choice.

2

u/Regalrefuse 8h ago

Can’t someone on the left buy her out for more???

1

u/tryingtohiretivoli 9h ago

But can the burn book?

Because I would kick in for the "go fund me."

1

u/DennenTH 9h ago

She can start a gofundme for the goal.  I got $3.50.

1

u/ColoradoCattleCo 8h ago

I can almost literally guarantee that was settled before they even asked for her resignation. An off-shore bank account with ~$50 million has been set up in exchange for a NDA and any related physical materials.

•

u/Blackthorn79 3h ago

It depends on what's in the book. I don't think for a second she wouldn't be in gitmo if there was any government dealings in the book. Trump wants to use national security to put tariffs on potash, there's no way he won't use it to lock up a blackmailer.

1

u/Old_Discipline_5423 8h ago

anyone can be bought or (rented) under the right circumstances :(

1

u/chrispatrik 8h ago

I suspect a GoFundMe would pay big.

•

u/CTQ99 7h ago

Well I mean if Don Jr told her, Im sure hes told a ton of other people too

•

u/delicateterror2 4h ago

Yep… or Eric could visit her like he did his mom and she could stumble on the stairs…. Just saying…🤷‍♀️

•

u/Starting_right_meow 3h ago

Any of you guys got 100k laying around to pay her AMEX bill?

•

u/BeepBotBoopBeep 1h ago

And she has nothing. Just like polls, it’s all BS until you see evidence.

•

u/cytherian New Jersey 1h ago

She will take the payment over spilling the truth any time, any where.

1

u/Mediocre_Scott 9h ago

She can be bought with time of a prison sentence too perhaps

39

u/49DivineDayVacation 9h ago

There's no hero turn available to her. We've seen this story enough times. Even if she was able to "spill the beans", nothing will happen and she'll find herself hated by everyone instead of just half of people.

25

u/curtmahgurt 8h ago

It’s incredible how desperate people are to latch onto the hope that someone on the right is going to save us from the right. Elon Musk literally posted that Trump was in the Epstein files, and everyone said the same thing then too - “he’s turned on Trump!” Then he redacted his post and apologized, and now he’s absolutely giddy about his new role as a dagger that Trump can stick in Zelensky’s back.

Kimberly fucking Guilfoyle is not our savior.

9

u/dancefan2019 8h ago

I was not fooled by Elon's breakup with Trump. It was all done to save his own skin when Tesla was at risk of going down. People were protesting in front of Tesla dealerships daily, burning down Teslas and vandalizing Teslas. He had that fake break up with Trump to save his own skin. I knew it was fake all along.

•

u/Flat_Neighborhood_92 1h ago

Whomever didn't see the breakup for what it was is a moron.

•

u/ZroDgsCalvin 7h ago

Kimberly von Stauffenberg

•

u/iFlashings 7h ago

Not only will nothing happen to Trump, nobody will actually care about the substance of that burn book and will forget about it the very next day. Whatever tea she can possibly spill I'm willing to bet it's already public knowledge anyway and she is just flexing this knowledge to get something out of Trump to stay quiet.

This is a nothing story that will go nowhere. 

•

u/ImyForgotName 6h ago

Yeah. This is less hero to villain and more "look that plague rat is being consumed by its own parasites.

1

u/Particular_Ticket_20 8h ago

See Marjorie Taylor Green. Shes saying everything she should have been saying all along and nobody is giving her accolades. The difference is now everyone on both sides wishes she'd shut up.

The only hero turn for them is on the witness stand.

1

u/ghast123 Ohio 8h ago

Fwiw, I will hate her a little less should she do it.

1

u/49DivineDayVacation 8h ago

I won’t 🤷🏻‍♂️

•

u/Destination_Cabbage 7h ago

You do you, but for me, its like apologizing cause they're caught, not cause they're sorry. The only path that would include redemption is the one that goes through the witness stand, and quite possibly the defendant stand and a jaunt in prison for not saying anything when they should have.

•

u/ghast123 Ohio 5h ago

I didnt say I would stop hating her. Just hate her like a scarramooch less.

1

u/dancefan2019 8h ago

You're assuming no one in Trump's circle can be taken down. I don't believe that.

•

u/Ambitious_Bit_9389 5h ago

The Mike Pence effect

•

u/Financial-Craft-1282 4h ago

Jaime Lannister, in the books, got a hero turn. You never know.

7

u/InsomniaticWanderer 9h ago

She'll never be a hero.

But she could absolutely take Trump down with her.

1

u/lala_lavalamp 8h ago

I’ll always remember her dancing while coked out of her mind on January 6 knowing exactly what was about to happen. Fuck her.

•

u/honjuden 7h ago

Gavin Newsom's ex by the way.

5

u/Tall-Marionberry-590 9h ago

Nah, she’ll just take a pardon.

1

u/dancefan2019 8h ago

Maybe she could make a deal with prosecutors that she will give them all the information she knows in exchange for immunity from prosecution.

1

u/Tall-Marionberry-590 8h ago

What prosecution?

4

u/guy-le-doosh 9h ago

So the best really is yet to come?

2

u/Numerous-Process2981 9h ago

She just be a villain who turned villain on the villains when it no longer served her personally to support them 

1

u/CloudyLeft 9h ago

Which is still a higher level than “villain”

1

u/dancefan2019 8h ago

Maybe so, but I think there would be a lot of thrilled people in the U.S. if she used what she knows to take down these criminals.

1

u/_Standardissue 9h ago

In 30-40 years all will come out, just as with Deepthroat’s identity

0

u/dancefan2019 8h ago

That's not soon enough. These criminals need to be taken down. The sooner the better.

1

u/_Standardissue 8h ago

Oh, I agree completely! But I’m just saying what I think is gonna actually happen.

Like many other times, I hope to be wrong

1

u/KookyDig4769 9h ago

You forget that she's a garbage person. These people only think about themself, not even their perception. being hated is being seen. That's reputation.

•

u/dancefan2019 7h ago

Seems to me she'd be helping herself if she turned on this criminal organization and came clean. I'd sure like to see this whole criminal organization topple down. All the skeletons exposed. She'd be famous for taking them down, and would have a life-long income from talk shows and book deals that came from that. She could pay off her AmEx debt. lol.

1

u/justme002 9h ago

Do you believe they don't have dirt on her? They will certainly have the ability to buy off enough people to counter attack.

1

u/GrandmaSassifrass 9h ago

Hmm i wonder what happened to those democrats murdered in their homes

1

u/hodorhodor12 8h ago

Unless you get right media on her side, it won’t change anything. 

1

u/najapi 8h ago

Or she could just join them on the grift and drain whatever money is left

1

u/Timely-Youth-9074 8h ago

People in Trump World have been known to have mysterious deaths.

1

u/AnAncientBog 8h ago

She won't because the whole reason she is in this position is because she is incompetent and willing to do anything for money. She has zero credibility and even if she did she simply doesn't have the ability or interest to actually achieve anything against the trump admin.

1

u/i-dontlikeyou 8h ago

Wishful thinking. She will choose the pay out they will give her and move on

1

u/Chu_Kiddin_Me_Or_Wha 8h ago

Can we start a GoFundMe that can only be unlocked by release of said book and it brining down a certain crime family?

1

u/NelsonMuntz007 8h ago

Unfortunately it’s not her reputation that she values. Shes as corrupt as the rest of them.

1

u/Beneficial_Area_2986 8h ago

See Michael Cohen about that. People who only do shit only out of self-interest pivot the moment it suits them.

1

u/Candid_Ninja406 8h ago

I guarantee she we'll be generously rewarded by the Republicans and that book will never see daylight.

1

u/slackfrop 8h ago

What worse thing than 1)rape of children, 2)attempted coup in plain sight, 3) Initiating wars as the aggressor with no congressional mandate, 4) kidnapping of foreign head of state, 5) Bulldozing half the White House in the middle of the night, 6) Violent persecution of ethnic groups ignoring due process, and 7)Willful and lengthy non-compliance to legally mandated directives could possibly be in Gwillfoyles little notebook? What would “bring him down”?

If there’s a feature length video of him eating from a buffet table of little blonde babies I still put it at 50/50 odd it just wouldn’t matter.

1

u/Aeseld Texas 8h ago

Nope. She will never be a hero in my eyes. Villains have battled villains for about as long as we've had stories to tell each other. They are still villains. Her turning on Trump out of spite is not a redemption arc.

•

u/Early_Key_823 7h ago

Just like Michael Cohen? /s

•

u/sarcasticbaldguy 7h ago

This time for sure!

•

u/Hairydone America 7h ago

Like Michael Cohen? /s

•

u/redalert825 7h ago

If so, then... The best. Is Yet. To Come!!!

But fucking doubt it

•

u/CoffeeHead112 7h ago

Honestly we should just crowd source a payout for her to release it. If Republicans are so keen on bribes, why dont we use it for good and fund super PACs to get meaningful results? How much do you think it would cost us to turn the supreme court when divided among 300 million people?

•

u/sceadwian 7h ago

It would just be nice to get some raw unadulterated truth for a while. These people deserve to stew in their own histories forever.

•

u/dancefan2019 7h ago

Agreed.

•

u/iKangaeru 6h ago

I'm afraid not. This is an extortion tactic. It's a demand to the Trumps to pay up or she'll go public. They will pay. We'll never see whatever it is she has.

•

u/dancefan2019 5h ago

I'm afraid you're right. Trump will likely pay her off, and we'll never hear anything incriminating from her.

•

u/ShawnyMcKnight 6h ago edited 5h ago

The fact she has the evidence and holds it so it can benefit her puts her as a POS in my opinion no matter whether she releases it after his term ends or not.

•

u/dancefan2019 5h ago

I agree.

•

u/Inferno_Zyrack 6h ago

There’s nothing she can say that’s more damning that the treatment of the Epstein Files and very public stock manipulation of the entire family that’s reported in the nightly news at this point.

•

u/I_SHIT_IN_A_BAG 6h ago

aren't you the hopeful one? Epstein files and an Iran war and nothing happened but yeah, KG is going to bring him down. uh huh

•

u/dancefan2019 5h ago

I'm not saying she would bring him down, I'm saying she could and she should.

•

u/Maybedonor6056 5h ago

The overarching problem is that the worst corrupt are not only part of the Trump admin. Trump was elected trough a democratic process just like any other president. He was the wrong choice to begin with and people that still have two brain cells communicating with one another tried to warn but the need for change was too great. So here we are with a “dic- tator “ on our hands. Now we need to pay for the stupid that’s happening with earnings from our accounts. ENJOY!!!

•

u/dancefan2019 5h ago

Well, I'm hopeful there will be a blue wave in the midterms and we can at least limit Trump's power that way, or even impeach and remove him from office. I'm hopeful that can happen. It would be icing on the cake if Kimberly spilled the beans, but I guess that's unlikely to happen. She'll probably be paid off by Trump for her silence.

•

u/Maybedonor6056 2h ago

No. If somehow there will be a blue wave he will not leave and feel empowered. Truly a complete redo is needed. 250 years of politicians being in charge proves it. Sorry but they ALL gone dun screwed up.

•

u/twofourfourthree 5h ago

Wouldn’t make a difference and no one would be held accountable.

Worst case is that she’s putting herself
In harms way via the maga base. Not to mention limiting her income options going forward.

•

u/dancefan2019 5h ago

I think she'd have plenty of income options if she did spill the beans, but she'll likely be paid off by Trump instead.

•

u/Psychological_Top148 5h ago

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that an investigation into Cassidy Hutchinson was announced at this time.

•

u/dancefan2019 5h ago

Maybe Kimberly could wait until after the midterms to tell what she knows, when Trump's power will be kept in check. Disgusting what our government has become.

•

u/1995-Braves 5h ago

No she won’t…? Nobody that matters (his voting base) will believe it.

•

u/dancefan2019 5h ago

I don't think that MAGA base is as solid as some of you are making it out to be. They might turn on Trump at some point. I have a die hard MAGA relative that use to lecture and boast to me about Trump every time I saw him. He's been pretty quiet lately, and hasn't brought up Trump in weeks. The tide might be turning. I'm hopeful.

•

u/1995-Braves 1h ago

I would hear this and be hopeful if it wasn’t for the last 3 years. The guy has galvanized his following and they elected him with more fervor after Jan. 6th than they did in 2016. He is borderline untouchable until he dies. He has the uneducated white evangelicals wrapped around his fingers and he will till he and they die and nothing will change that. How do I know that? Because history tells me that.

Everyone has that “one MAGA relative” that no longer has the yard sign out or actually won’t mention Trump at every family gathering in a prophetic sense, but not enough to actually change the voting numbers. I was tricked into that optimism in 2024, and I encourage you to do the same either by this November or in 2028.

•

u/OkSmoke9195 5h ago

Oh you mean the Trump Crime Family??

•

u/dancefan2019 4h ago

I mean all the criminals in the Trump administration that she may have information about.

•

u/OkSmoke9195 4h ago

Of course I just wanted to use the label he is so fond of

•

u/Global_Staff_3135 5h ago

So many beans have already been spilled, nothing she says or does will move the needle.

•

u/vinylzoid 5h ago

She will never be a hero. Don't kid yourself.

•

u/dancefan2019 5h ago

Maybe not a hero, but I'd be mighty pleased if she did expose all that she knows about Trump's circle, as I'm sure a lot of people would be.

•

u/vinylzoid 3h ago

I would love to see lawsuits and infighting. That's for sure. If she has this info now and has been sitting on it like an insurance policy, it makes her an even bigger scumbag.

•

u/dancefan2019 3h ago

I would love to see investigations, criminal prosecutions, resignations, impeachments, and public support turning against these criminals. There are plenty of cases where a scumbag turned in the even bigger scumbags to save their own skin. This could be one of those times, but likely she'll end up being paid off by Trump for her silence.

•

u/legospark 5h ago

There's no obvious cash benefit to salvaging the reputation. The much easire path will be the cash or equivalents they'll offer her on the backend to keep her mouth shut.

•

u/dancefan2019 4h ago

Being paid to keep her mouth shut would be the easier path for her for sure. I wish that cross she wears around her neck meant something to her.

•

u/-Disgruntled-Goat- 5h ago

Like Michael Cohen

•

u/vroart 4h ago

She was married to Gavin newsom when he was governor of California. So it was a hero turned villain turned hero? Or maybe she’s a grifters?

•

u/dancefan2019 4h ago

They divorced before he became governor. Maybe she was always corrupt, I don't know about her early years.

•

u/ErikaKirkasInsideJob 4h ago

Yea but CBS will say it fake

•

u/captain_flak Virginia 3h ago

Shit, I’ll start a damned GoFundMe to pay off her credit card if the corruption can come to light. Though it probably won’t make any difference. Trump is already at the point of mocking his own supporters.

•

u/happygoluckynny 3h ago

You only leak the burn book as a protection to stop goons from staging a scene in your home.

The minute she leaks it,

shes in trouble,

Especially from

Epstein's MAGA
