Trump Should Keep Feuding with Kellyanne Conway's Husband

It's probably the best use of their time.

Well into the third year of his presidency, Donald Trump seemed to be running out of steam. He probably never really cared about actually solving any problems or saving any jobs, but he put a good bit of time into making it seem like he did. It doesn't take a lot of insight to tell that his heart was never in it though. This week, however, we got to see old-school Trump, Trump when he's at his happiest and doing what he love more than anything in the world: shitposting.

On Tuesday, George Conway, husband of Kellyanne Conway, one of Trump's inexplicably longest-lasting underlings, tweeted the criteria for diagnosing narcissistic personality disorder and implied, very unsubtly, that Trump met them.

Shortly after, Trump's campaign manager Brad Parscale tweeted that Conway, who's long been a Trump critic, was bitter over being passed up for a slot in the administration. Trump retweeted Parscale, adding "A total loser!" Then Wednesday he weighed in, calling him "Mr. Kellyanne Conway" and a "horrible husband," which, you know, glass houses.

The weird tiff even inspired ABC's Karen Travers to prod Trump about it on camera, asking how it fit in with his wife's anti-bullying campaign. There's no chance she expected a real answer to that question, which is good because Trump promptly launched in a bizarre rambling starting with the phrase, "Well, I don't know him."

Kellyanne Conway, meanwhile, has spent the last couple days trying to explain how her and her husband's relationship functions, which is an improvement over her telling people to read the manifestos of white supremacist murderers, as she did on Fox News earlier in the week. And, in whatever the opposite of a twist is, she's even siding with Trump over George. Per Politico:

“He left it alone for months out of respect for me,” Conway, a senior Trump aide, told POLITICO in a brief telephone interview. “But you think he shouldn’t respond when somebody, a non-medical professional accuses him of having a mental disorder? You think he should just take that sitting down?”

“Don't play psychiatrist any more than George should be,” she added. “You're not a psychiatrist and he's not, respectfully.”

That "respectfully" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.

Anyway, talking shit is clearly what Trump excels at and it's obviously where his heart is. The best thing for everyone is for him to devote himself full-time to it. Be best.
