Trump called Kellyanne Conway a Total Loser
Listen to this articleThe U.S President Donald Trump has called the husband of senior aide Kellyanne Conway a Total Loser after he suggested the president’s mental health is deteriorating. George Conway is a lawyer and persistent conservative critic of Trump. Conway tweeted on Monday images from the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. He highlighted pages showing diagnostic criteria for narcissistic personality disorder and antisocial personality disorder. It followed a weekend in which Trump lashed out at a number of perceived enemies, from late night comedy show Saturday Night Live to deceased Republican Senator John McCain.
Trump hit back on Tuesday morning and shared a tweet regarding Conway by Brad Pascale (Trump’s 2020 campaign manager) and captioned it: “A total loser”! Pascale claimed that Kellyanne Conway had been turned down for a job in the administration and was either fired or quit at the Department of Justice. He wrote, “Now he hurts his wife because he is jealous of her success. POTUS doesn’t even know him”! The New York Times reported in 2017 that Conway dropped out of the running to head the Justice Department’s civil division, citing family considerations. He said last year that he did not take a post because he considered the Trump administration “a s***show in a dumpster fire”.
Within minutes of Trump’s tweet, Conway responded by reposting diagnostic criteria for narcissistic personality disorder and writing: “Tell us, @realDonaldTrump which of these diagnostic criteria do you not satisfy?” he added, “Congratulations”! You just guaranteed that millions of more people are going to learn about narcissistic personality disorder and malignant narcissism! Great job”! Conway tweeted last week, “Whether or not impeachment is in order, a serious inquiry needs to be made about this man’s condition of mind”. He added, “His condition is getting worse”. He said on Monday, Americans should be thinking seriously regarding Trump’s mental condition and psychological state.
