Trump, George Conway continue explosive online feud

The online feud between President Trump and the spouse of top White House aide Kellyanne Conway continued into a second day Wednesday, with Trump calling George Conway the “husband from hell” and Conway calling him “nuts.”

“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,” Trump posted on his Twitter page. “I barely know him but just take a look, a stone cold LOSER & husband from hell!”

Moments later, George Conway responded.

“You seem determined to prove my point. Good for you! #NarcissisticPersonalityDisorder,” he wrote on his Twitter account.

In another, he said: “The President of the United States” and linked to Trump’s tweet.

But he wasn’t done.

“You. Are. Nuts.,” he posted.

The president, who on Tuesday referred to George Conway as a “total loser,” in his tweet repeated claims that 2020 campaign manager Brad Parscale made in a message Monday that Trump didn’t know George Conway and that he was just “jealous” of his wife’s White House career.

Parscale also alleged that Trump turned him down for a job in the Justice Department.

George Conway questioned Trump’s mental fitness in a series of tweets Monday after the president tweeted or retweeted more than 60 times over the weekend, checking off grievances about special counsel Robert Mueller, “Saturday Night Live” and the late GOP Sen. John McCain.

“Don’t assume that the things he says and does are part of a rational plan or strategy, because they seldom are. Consider them as a product of his pathologies, and they make perfect sense,” George Conway wrote Monday morning.

In other tweets, he listed images of the diagnostic criteria for antisocial personality disorder and narcissistic personality disorder.

Moments after Trump called him a “loser” on Tuesday, Conway punched back on the social messaging site.

“Congratulations! You just guaranteed that millions of more people are going to learn about narcissistic personality disorder and malignant narcissism! Great job!,” he wrote in reference to the president’s 59 million Twitter followers.

George Conway, who turned down a Justice Department job in June 2017, once went to bat for Trump to settle a dispute at the Trump World Tower in New York, where the Conways lived at the time.

In the midst of the online spat Tuesday, the Washington Post published a letter from Trump to George Conway praising him.

“What I was most impressed with was how quickly you were able to comprehend a very bad situation. In any event, the building has now been normalized, and the employees are no longer doing menial tasks, etc. for our former Board Members,” Trump said in the letter. “PS – And, you have a truly great voice, certainly not a bad asset for a top trial lawyer!”
