KELLYANNE CONWAY/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Kellyanne Conway’s spouse is a ‘husband from hell!’ President Donald Trump declared Wednesday, escalating his awkward public fight with the husband of one of his closest advisers. A ‘whack job,’ he added later. Trump’s feud with George Conway played out with ever more heated rhetoric on social media. Conway, an attorney who has questioned Trump’s mental health, fired back after Trump’s latest tweet, saying the president seems ‘determined to prove my point.’ The caustic exchanges also drew a response from Kellyanne Conway, the longtime Republican pollster who served as Trump’s third campaign manager before joining the administration as a counselor to the president…George Conway has also pushed back on the idea that he doesn’t know Trump personally, telling The Washington Post that he has had a number of conversations with Trump over the past decade. He described Trump’s presidency as ‘maddening to watch’ and said he himself tweets so he doesn’t ‘end up screaming’ at his wife about the president.”
