Kellyanne Conway appreciates Trump after he called her husband ‘stone cold loser from hell’

President Donald Trum and White House aide Kellyanne Conway publicly backed Donald Trump on Wednesday after an extraordinary 48-hour Twitter row between the president and her husband came to a head, TOPNAIJA.NG reports.

Mrs Conway used a cable news interview to insist she would not resign and rebuked her husband George for airing his views in public.

It follows two days during which Mr Conway and Mr Trump have traded blows on twitter in a war of words that has generated a slew of headlines.

It began earlier this week with Mr Conway, a prominent conservative lawyer, suggesting the president suffered from a narcissistic personality disorder in a string of tweets, adding “his condition is getting worse every day”.

It led Mr Trump to issue a scathing response on Wednesday, tweeting: “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!”

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!

In front of the cameras later Mr Trump added: “I don’t know him. He’s a whack job, there’s no question about it. I think he’s doing a tremendous disservice to his wonderful wife. Kellyanne is a wonderful woman”.

Asked to untangle the situation on Wednesday, Mrs Conway told Fox Business: “I appreciate the president defending what he thinks is unfairness. I’ll leave that up to him. I was raised, though, in a household of strong Italian Catholic women who taught me that you air grievances like that in private, so it is very surprising to see it be so public”.

She also ruled out leaving her position, although she said her husband would like her to step down. “I’m not being asked to choose between my marriage and my job. The president has never made me feel that way”.

You seem determined to prove my point. Good for you! #NarcissisticPersonalityDisorder https://t.co/ZSpb3UXVPC

“What message would that send to the feminists everywhere who pretend they’re independent thinkers and men don’t make decisions for them?” she said. “They can talk it, and I can walk it. I can live it.” She added that Mr Trump had largely avoided retaliating to her husband’s barbs in the past because he is “protective” of her.

Trump relied heavily on Mrs Conway, a longtime Republican pollster and strategist, to help steer his presidential campaign to victory in 2016 and she remains a trusted member of his inner circle.

Mrs Conway has so largely avoided commenting on her marriage and said she wants to protect the couple’s four school-age children.

Shortly after getting married in 2001, Kellyanne and George moved into an apartment in Manhattan’s Trump World Tower. There, George made an impression on the future president at a condo board meeting where he argued against removing Trump’s name from the building. The speech earned George an offer to join the condo board, which he declined but passed on to his wife, who accepted.

“Knowing what I know now,” George later regretted introducing his wife to the president, back in Washington, “I would have said no, and never mentioned it when I got home.”
