Kimberly Guilfoyle dropped her book while the disturbing behavior of one of Donald Trump’s VP contenders, Kristi Noem, was causing outrage on social media. The Guardian had shared a passage from Noem’s book “No Going Back: The Truth on What’s Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward” in which she details shooting and killing a puppy named Cricket in a gravel pit. Noem had decided that poor Cricket was untrainable as a hunting dog.
One response to Guilfoyle’s book launch announcement on X, formerly known as Twitter, read, “Hope it’s better than Noem’s book ‘The Cricket and the Gravel Pit.'” There was also speculation that the timing of Guilfoyle’s book drop was strategic. “Not gonna lie, this is some expert-level trolling,” another person wrote.
Multiple sources told the New York Post that Noem’s shocking story killed her chances of being Donald’s VP pick. So, now that she’s out, perhaps Guilfoyle will get a shot at the gig. It’s no secret that Donald loves flattery, and she seems to be competing with Lara Trump to see who can spit the most fawning superlatives about him. On Newsmax, Lara called Donald “the greatest marketer in the world with his naming of people,” while Guilfoyle gushed over his “unbeatable stamina” on “The Kimberly Guilfoyle Show.” A Lara vs. Guilfoyle showdown to become Donald’s dog-loving running mate would certainly make a thrilling finale for this season of “Succession 2: Trump Family Boogaloo.”
