TRUMPS MENTAL CONDITION IS SERIOUSLY DETERIORATING

…Kellyanne Conway and husband, George

We should look at Trump and the criteria for his possible mental disorders

I have to say, the marriage of the White House Counselor, Kellyanne Conway, and her husband, George T. Conway III, must be one of the most secure marriages that ever existed.

Kellyanne is one of the most devout supporters of our president, bar none.  Regardless of all the president’s falsehoods, (lies), Kellyanne is always there to support Trump.

But what has been the case since Trump became president, is that her highly successful attorney husband has been a serious critic of Donald Trump as president.

Even though Ms. Conway’s husband publicly voiced some serious concerns about the president this week, Kellyanne just dismissed any concerns that were publicly voiced by her husband.

But George Conway frequently takes to Twitter to question whether the president is operating within the Constitution and other accepted boundaries.  However, George Conway’s criticism has now become much more personal, as he has properly questioned the president’s mental health and psychological state. 

So, what were the exact concerns that Mr. Conway had tweeted?

Kellyanne’s husband tweeted that President Trump’s mental condition is seriously deteriorating and this should be of serious concern to his Cabinet.

A series of recent Conway tweets included images of the cover of the American Psychiatric Association’s “Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.” In addition to the manual’s cover, Conway highlighted pages that include diagnostic criteria for “narcissistic personality disorder” and “antisocial personality disorder.”

Conway’s tweets followed a weekend in which Trump had taken to Twitter over 50 times, airing grievances related to “Saturday Night Live,” decisions made by Fox News executives that Trump disagreed with, the Russia investigation, and disgusting Trump comments about the late Arizona Senator, John McCain.  (Of course, Trump loves it when he can criticize someone that can’t respond!)

Trump even tweeted during a widely televised church service for the group of Ethiopians killed in the recent Ethiopian Airlines crash.

George later tweeted, “Whether or not impeachment is in order, a serious inquiry needs to be made about this man’s condition of mind.”  Later he wrote: “His [mental] condition is getting worse.”

A day later, Conway tweeted that “*all* Americans should be thinking seriously *now* about Trump’s mental condition and psychological state, including and especially the media, Congress — and the Vice President and Cabinet.”

Presented with her husband’s concerns Monday, Kellyanne Conway dismissed them.  “No, I don’t share those concerns,” she said, speaking to reporters on the White House driveway after having done an interview with Fox News from the North Lawn.

“I have four kids and I was getting them out of the house this morning to talk to the president about substance, so I may not be up to speed on all of them,” Kellyanne Conway said, referring to her husband’s tweets.

Later that day, Brad Parscale, Trump’s 2020 reelection campaign manager, in obvious support of the president, pushed back even harder, referring to George Conway as “Mr. Kellyanne Conway” in a tweet.  Parscale actually wrote: “Now he [George] hurts his wife because he is jealous of her success. POTUS doesn’t even know him!”

(Actually, Trump does know George, and Conway turned down an offer to become a Justice Department attorney right after Trump won in 2016.)

But Parscale then lied when he stated that George Conway had been turned down for the job.  George Conway is a very successful attorney and there is no way he would give up what he earns today, for the salary of a Justice Dept. attorney.  That is especially for a president’s administration that he seriously disagrees with, almost every day.

The Conway’s, who have been married for 18 years, have publicly been on opposite sides of most issues related to the president, and it is now getting much worse.

While Kellyanne often appears on camera defending Trump, George Conway delivers his criticism through op-eds and Twitter.

For example, he has argued against Trump’s statement that special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation was “unconstitutional” and that Trump exceeded his powers last year by installing Matthew Whitaker as acting attorney general, without consent of the Senate.

George Conway has also publicly accused Trump of lying about the payments made to former Playboy model Karen McDougal and adult-film star Stormy Daniels to buy their silence for alleged Trump affairs.

Sometimes Conway hits at Trump for very minor matters, such as Trump’s tweet misspelling of “hamburgers” as “hamberders”, after a visit to the White House by the Clemson Tigers football team.

After Burger King poked fun at the president for this same mistake, George Conway wrote a strong tweet saying: “Think of how much of a laughingstock a president has to become to have *Burger King* make fun of him. Sad.”

Trump so far has held back in his criticism of Kellyanne’s husband, but the way Trump has been acting lately, that may soon come to an end.

He did, as did Mr. Parscale, refer to George Conway as “Mr. Kellyanne Conway”, in an exchange with reporters after George questioned Whitaker’s appointment.

“He’s just trying to get publicity for himself,” Trump said. “Why don’t you do this, why don’t you ask Kellyanne that question, all right?  She might know him better than me. I really don’t know the guy.”

President Trump knows that Mueller and the Southern District of New York (SDNY) are going after him and possibly his family.  He also knows that soon the Democratic Committee’s in the House will soon have his tax returns and the documents from Deutsche Bank, his main lender.  Deutsche Bank has already been involved with money laundering for years, especially for Russian oligarchs.

It is obvious to the most casual observer that Trump knows that it’s going to get even worse over the coming months, and it is showing up in Trump, just as the American Psychiatric Association’s book suggests.

And Trump's mental condition continues to deteriorate.
