KELLYANNE CONWAY/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “On Wednesday [3-20-19] morning, the leader of the free world tweeted this: ‘George Conway, often referred to as Mr. Kellyanne Conway by those who know him, is VERY jealous of his wife’s success & angry that I, with her help, didn’t give him the job he so desperately wanted. I barely know him but just take a look, a stone cold LOSER & husband from hell!’ Then, just before he left to give a speech in Ohio on Wednesday afternoon, Trump called George Conway a ‘wack job’ and said Conway was ‘doing a tremendous disservice to a wonderful wife.’ It was the latest and most awkward chapter in the can’t-take-your-eyes-off-it-kind-of-like-a-slow-motion-car-crash story of Donald Trump, White House senior counselor Kellyanne Conway and her husband George Conway. And it seemed likely to bring the situation to a painful head — particularly after George Conway responded to Trump’s latest tweet with this succinct response: ‘You. Are. Nuts.’ Conway — George, that is — has emerged as one of Trump’s most high-profile critics largely via Twitter, which, given the President’s dependence on the social media platform, is delicious.”
