It's been quite the week for Kimberly Guilfoyle.
A few days ago, news broke of her alleged pay-for-access scheme. Fast forward to today and the White House asked for her resignation after it was revealed she was threatening Greek officials and taking improper gifts.

Q: You said Russia and Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire, but both sides said they have not agreed to that

Trump managed to find a press secretary who can barely read, but she does have the number one qualification -- looking like Ivanka
Here's a supercut from Zacharia's first briefing, which made Karoline Leavitt seem like Ronald Reagan
