George Conway — who just so happens to be married to White House counselor Kellyanne Conway — is not a fan of President Donald Trump, and he’s also not shy about letting his feelings be known on social media.
Such was the case Friday when Mr. Conway weighed in on the subject of Trump’s so-called foreign policy proscriptions, which range from cozying up to dictators like Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un to dissing our NATO allies. With two tweets, Conway made it clear that he thinks Donald Trump is motivated by one thing and one thing only: His own malignant narcissism:
Further examples of the impact of American foreign policy now being driven more by one man’s narcissistic personality disorder than by the national interest and rational consideration of intelligence assessments. https://t.co/JkUBtJV06b

“1. Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, …).
“2. Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance …
“4. Requires excessive admiration. ….
“5. Has a sense of entitlement …”https://t.co/28pcprG0jH— George Conway (@gtconway3d) February 22, 2019
Take an especially close look at the second tweet. It fits Trump to a tee: Grandiose; requires excessive admiration; sense of entitlement. That’s textbook Trump!
Others on social media were only too happy to give Conway an internet high-five for his analysis:
The need to be loved by everyone turns a person into a monster as we’re witnessing with the minority president, #45.

In one way I’m so happy to have someone like George Conway as part of the awake side of politics but at the same time it shows acutely that if someone like George cant sway a Trump supporter and loving partner… what hope do the rest of us have…

Yes. Donald Trump does not understand foreign policy. Among other things, he believes it’s about cheaters among our allies, and, so, saving money. Saving money cannot and should not drive foreign policy, and Trump’s policy will cost us far more

Europe’s leaders “got” Trump’s message loud and clear post 2016 election. That message is “I trust Russia, not you”. Russia wants Trump to dull NATO’s influence. Reduce Alliance’s role in Europe. Putin wants US to scrap missile defense programs targeting Russia. Putin’s winning.
