TRUMP ESCALATES FEUD WITH CONWAY’S HUSBAND

Washington — Kellyanne Conway’s spouse is a “husband from hell!” President Donald Trump declared Wednesday, escalating his awkward public fight with the husband of one of his closest advisers. A “whack job,” he added later.

Trump’s feud with George Conway played out with ever more heated rhetoric on social media. George Conway, who has questioned Trump’s mental health, fired back, saying the president seems “determined to prove my point.” The exchanges also drew a response from Kellyanne Conway, who served as Trump’s third campaign manager before joining the administration.

Kellyanne Conway told Politico that Trump had avoided targeting her husband for months “out of respect for me.” But she added: “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?”
