“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?”

Strategic distraction.
Trump has done this many times.
Last night was like Doolittle’s run over Tokyo.
Those who don’t know what happened are the ones focused on the distractions.
It’s okay; you can read about it later, while Midway is happening.
Kellyanne points out the problem.
George is sitting out home, probably in his underwear, tweeting all day, whilst Kellyanne is doing the important business of the country.
We are way past the point of adhering to politically correct presidential protocols.
Kellyanne Fitzpatrick shouldn't resign and Trump shouldn't shut up.
I indicated that kac needs to shut her husband up - not Trump!
As far as KAC, that is your opinion. Lots of people on our side who do not trust her.
By the way, don’t you think that marrying that buffoon and having his children calls into question her judgement? Kelly had no idea he was an idiot while they were dating?
As you may or may not know, major corporations will interview the spouse (alone and together) of a potential key employee before making a hiring decision. The reason should be obvious - a spouse that objects to required travel time or long hours, or a bad home life eventually translates into poor job performance, inability to concentrate, etc.
Again, she should either resign for the good of the Administration, and thereby us, or shut her husband up.
I am twixt and ‘tween.
One part of me thinks this is all a game to all three of them to keep Pres Trump’s critics busy.
The other part of me thinks her beloved is serious in his comments and as that doesn’t give her grounds for a divorce, she lets him rant and rave and she keeps doing her job.
I think if it’s the first, it’s a great plan.
If it’s the second, it shows she’s strong minded in her beliefs and I’m glad she’s on our side and Pres Trump has faith in her abilities. He lets her handle the heat, knowing he can still poke the bear (her beloved) with the stick via twitter.
No one disputes that; it is a matter of record.
However, only one question matters: are we closer to tyranny, or getting further away from it?
Are we more free or less free?
“This is unbecoming of the President of the United States.”
As opposed to things like promoting abortion and butt sex, like the previous president? Or, as opposed to the one before that left hundreds of thousands of Christians to be slaughtered by Muslims by having no plan to protect them? Both of them were very polite, well-mannered presidents. Is that what you prefer?
“The public drama needs to stop.”
If it bothers you, you can simply quit paying attention like half of America.
“Right or wrong, KAC either shuts him up or resigns the position.”
Sure, give the left exactly what they want for their attacks on everyone associated with Trump. Do you think wars are won by waving white flags?
“It is a distraction that We the People do not need right now.”
Beats a hot war.
“This is unbecoming of the President of the United States.”
Maybe so but Trump is Trump and is hard-coded to respond to any and all attacks — petty or not. The base loves it and the rest of the nation just shakes their head.
The left know they can easily trigger Trump. So some husband of a Trump advisor starts taunting him and Trump is down in the weeds falling for it. Trump is going to do what he does and no one can change it. Just enjoy the show for the next few years.
Sorry if my opinions and time tested standards of the United States causes you anguish.
Just want to see our country return to be the land of the free; the home of the brave, that’s all.
Still, let’s hope it doesn’t take too long for your feelings to recover - there’s more work to be done!
Good day unlearner. Mmmm...interesting screen name given your recent ‘analysis’.
Now that’s plain talk if I ever saw any!
Okay, point well taken.
Pity
Her husband needs Preston Brooks cane upside his egotistical head
I suspect that when her job in the White House is done, she'll drop him like a hot potato
Yes!
“She is abused.”
Been there. Lived it.
I think it’s a real possibility. The guy seems to be a jealous narcissist.
Really, There Is Something About George Conway That Does Not Add Up
https://spectator.org/really-there-is-something-about-george-conway-that-does-not-add-up/
“Sorry if my opinions and time tested standards of the United States causes you anguish... let’s hope it doesn’t take too long for your feelings to recover.”
Drop the condescension. It makes you look petty and foolish. If you can’t take the heat, stay out of the kitchen. Ideas get critiqued around here—bad ones even more so.
And what “time-tested standards” were you applying? You said: “This is unbecoming of the President of the United States... The public drama needs to stop.”
Thomas Jefferson’s equivalent of a campaign manager, James T. Callender, said of Jefferson’s opponent, John Adams, “The Prospect Before Us [is a] hideous hermaphroditical character, which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.” Callender was convicted of violating the Sedition Act and jailed but later pardoned by Jefferson. The Adams campaign made similarly audacious claims against Jefferson, insinuating he was essentially an atheist, even though both candidates were Unitarians and shared similar beliefs.
The Andrew Jackson campaign called John Quincy Adams a “pimp.” The John Quincy campaign called Jackson and his wife “polygamists” because they had married before her divorce was final.
Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton settled their animosity over political mudslinging with a duel. Hamilton died, and Burr faced serious legal repercussions over the duel.
I think calls for politeness and civility (which are usually made by leftists and only imposed on conservatives) are ridiculous when the political left has openly sold its soul to Satan with its support of murdering children and forcing pro-homosexual propaganda on children.
Would you admonish Jesus for calling out the wicked men He described as hypocrites, whitewashed tombs, and children of the Devil?
Once again, you misunderstand and obfuscate. And adding a little Alinsky to boot!
Nice try, but...
Consider this: We hired him because it was obvious to us the nation needed someone other than a patty-cake R and he presented as an effective fighter.
*********************
Yes, that is exactly what we needed and voted for (i.e., someone who wouldn’t be a punching bag for the Left and their allies in the media). Trump has exceeded our expectations in that regard. He does not suffer fools and harsh critics.
That said the attacks won’t cease just because he strikes back. He cannot respond to every attack by everyone. This is a drain on his time and energy. He is dealing with the monumental mess left to him by previous administrations and he doesn’t need trifling distractions.
As you said, he needs to defend America’s interests. That is a consuming job that requires sharp focus and attention. Getting down into the weeds with the insects isn’t going to help him address the big problems.
CEO’s don’t get in arguments with the guys in the company mail room. I respect your opinion but have a different take on who he should be fighting with in public. He is more effective when he targets people in the media, Democrat politicians, and even RINOs in his own party. Just my humble opinion.
“Once again, you misunderstand...”
If the real problem is misunderstanding then it can be easily corrected by clarification. When the core idea is just wrong, the person advocating it is the one who needs to correct his understanding.
“You... obfuscate.”
You have not given any specific examples of your claim. Why post such garbage? If there is anything I have posted that “obfuscates” the facts, then feel free to point it out. Otherwise, the post might as well say “nanny, nanny, boo, boo.” Perhaps posting an emoticon of someone sticking out his tongue would make more sense, if that’s all you’ve got.
From someone complaining about the president behaving in an “unbecoming” manner, calling for this “public drama” to stop, and even advocating giving the left what they want (namely another Trump staff resignation), the responses to criticism being posted make the one who posted them appear quite hypocritical.
Wrongheaded ideas need to be shot down. And people who post them should take time to reflect why so MANY people critique them instead of posting knee-jerk responses with derisive and demeaning attacks.
Odd when someone who calls out the president for something resorts to the very thing he’s called out.
Claiming I’m following Alinsky? Really? Obviously this response betrays complete ignorance of the one posting it. Makes me think the one who did so has a little list of pat responses folded up in his desk drawer to pull out whenever he gets his feelings hurt over someone disagreeing with his foolish posts.
Rather than answer, you chose to make unfounded attacks with ridiculous claims about Alinsky. By the way, Alinsky dedicated his “Rules for Radicals” to Lucifer. Are you accusing me of Luciferianism for disagreeing with you and critiquing your posts?
From someone who posts a Christian tagline I expected more.
It is very shameful and dishonest to pretend to engage in dialogue on a forum and then make one-sided posts that do not address questions asked. That’s not a conversation. That’s not a dialogue. That’s just trolling. Those who treat this forum as a soap box to listen to themselves talk and never actually engage in listening to what others have to say do not deserve to be able to post on it.
I asked if you, as a Christian, have a problem with Christ’s public condemnation of wicked men by calling them “white washed,” “hypocrites,” and “children of the Devil”?
If not, why do you have a problem with the president calling out wicked people for being wicked?
How many times have we heard that we will never have manufacturing jobs, or anything but a shortage of oil? How many times have we heard the elites tell us we will end up in service jobs, as manufacturing moves to other countries? How many times have we heard negative comments about conservatives and Republicans and nobody in Washington fought back?
We've got the guy that fights back in the White House right now. As you noted, some people just can't handle us winning instead of losing. (And I suspect that includes a lot of Republican elected officials at the federal level.)
