KELLYANNE CONWAY/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Kellyanne Conway on Wednesday [3-20-19] defended President Donald Trump’s attacks on her husband George Conway saying he’s ‘a counterpuncher’ and asserting that the president is free to respond when he’s accused of having a mental illness…Conway’s defense of her boss comes as Trump has spent the past two days ripping her husband on Twitter. While the president has generally restrained from attacking George Conway, a longtime conservative lawyer who has repeatedly mocked Trump on Twitter, he broke from that habit on Monday [3-18-19] after George Conway claimed he suffered from mental illness…Trump later on Wednesday took the Twitter feud offline, telling reporters that George Conway is a ‘whack job’ and doing a ‘tremendous disservice to a wonderful wife.’ George Conway responded in kind to the latest attacks, sending more than two dozen tweets on Wednesday in which he called Trump ‘nuts’ and re-upped his claim that the president suffers from narcissistic personality disorder.”
