Trump calls George Conway the ‘husband from hell’ and Twitter can’t deal: ‘Sit this one out’
The simmering feud between President Trump and George Conway, husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, has hit a full boil. On Wednesday morning Trump aimed one of his notorious Twitter salvos against George, an attorney who, despite his wife’s job, has been one of the president’s most outspoken critics. Most recently, he made claims about Trump’s mental health, tweeting last Sunday that “his condition is getting worse.”

Trump fired back with an angry tweet calling George a “stone-cold LOSER and husband from hell” who is “VERY jealous” of his wife’s White House credentials. He also repeated his 2020 campaign manager Brad Parscale’s claim that Conway is bitter because he was allegedly passed over for a job at the Department of Justice, which some sources have disputed, insisting that Conway turned down the job offer.
George Conway, often referred to as Mr. Kellyanne Conway by those who know him, is VERY jealous of his wife’s success & angry that I, with her help, didn’t give him the job he so desperately wanted. I barely know him but just take a look, a stone cold LOSER & husband from hell!

Conway didn’t take long to respond to the attack.

He also doubled down on his jabs about Trump’s mental health by sharing a still of Humphrey Bogart as the paranoid, mentally ill leader Captain Queeg from the 1954 film The Caine Mutiny. And yes, Stormy Daniels was mentioned a lot.

While Kellyanne hasn’t weighed in on her boss’s tweet about her spouse and father of her four children, Twitter users have plenty to say about it. Trump’s “husband from hell” line in particular has inspired some mockery of the thrice-married POTUS.
Trump calls George Conway a “husband from Hell.” Melania, Marla and Ivana could not be reached for comment.

You were married theee times and your current wife hates being around you.
Slow down of accusing anyone of being the husband from hell.

Want to know why Donald Trump is going to lose in 2020? Because he just called the husband of his top White House Advisor a "stone cold loser and a husband from hell."
It's petty, childish, just plain mean stuff like this that most Americans have grown sick & tired of. https://t.co/ChpwGe34VL

You know what defines a husband from hell? Someone who has sex with a porn star and a playboy bunny right after his wife has a baby. Ewwwwww pic.twitter.com/nxr3wvoacQ

They’d do the same to you except there are too many wives and mistresses to fit in a tweet, Mr. Stormy Daniels.

Husband from Hell? I guess introspection is not his strong suit. https://t.co/r3ZVQ3cys4

Even celebrities couldn’t resist chiming in.
Dangerous, demented old man

You should keep tweeting about him. Makes you seem totally normal.

It’s not the first time George has been called out by a Trump. In December first son Eric Trump accused him of treating Conway with “utter disrespect.”
Of all the ugliness in politics, the utter disrespect George Conway shows toward his wife, her career, place of work, and everything she has fought SO hard to achieve, might top them all. @KellyannePolls is great person and frankly his actions are horrible.
