Conway rejects hubby’s remarks

-

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway on Monday dismissed concerns publicly voiced by her husband, lawyer George Conway, that President Donald Trump’s mental condition is deteriorat­ing and should be of concern to his Cabinet.

George Conway has been a persistent conservati­ve critic of Trump’s policies and actions, frequently taking to Twitter to question whether the president is operating within the Constituti­on and other accepted boundaries. But Conway’s criticism recently has become more personal, as he questions the president’s mental health and psychologi­cal state.

That included a series of tweets Monday that included images from 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.”

His tweets followed a weekend in which Trump took to Twitter several dozen times, airing grievances related to “Saturday Night Live,” decisions made by Fox News executives, the Russia investigat­ion and the late Sen. John McCain.

Presented with her husband’s concerns Monday, Kellyanne Conway dismissed them.

“No, I don’t share those concerns,” she said.
