KELLYANNE CONWAY/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday [11-9-18] took a jab at a conservative lawyer whose critical tweets and editorials have attracted an outsized following because he is married to a top aide to the president. ‘You mean, Mr. Kellyanne Conway?’ Trump said to reporters when asked about a Thursday [11-8-18] New York Times editorial by George Conway, who wrote that Trump’s appointment of Matthew Whitaker as acting attorney general was unconstitutional. ‘He’s trying to get publicity for himself,’ Trump said, dismissing the commentary from the lawyer, whose wife Kellyanne Conway is counselor to Trump, and managed his 2016 presidential election campaign.”
