President Donald Trump came to power promising to overthrow a decadent political establishment: a self-serving ruling class that had grown rich and arrogant, apparently insulated from the ordinary Americans it purported to represent but didn't actually understand.

Now, the controversy surrounding Kimberly Guilfoyle, his ambassador to Greece, shines a negative light on that promise, raising a question: has MAGA simply replaced the old establishment with a new one that has acquired many of the same habits? In simpler words: are Republicans just like Democrats when it comes to their relationship with power?

Guilfoyle, the former Fox News personality and onetime fiancee of Donald Trump Jr., has been asked to resign following allegations of financial impropriety and questionable diplomatic conduct. Although she denies wrongdoing, the details emerging from her tenure in Athens paint a portrait of an elite enjoying the privileges of power, the same type of character that Trump has been warning against.
