Kellyanne Conways Husband Thinks We Should Be Worried About Donald Trumps Mental Stability
The latest data point? The presidents comments about how close Obama was to starting a war with North Korea.

I believe he would have gone to war with North Korea, Trump said about Obama on Friday. That was going to be a war that could have been a World War III, to be honest with you, Trump added later.
Obama was famously reluctant about engaging in direct military intervention, and his former deputy national security advisor, Ben Rhodes, tweeted that it didnt happen.

Conway saw the news as another sign of the presidents supposed instability. We should highly question that mental stability of a president of the United States who would lie about whether the United States had been on the verge of starting World War III with another state possessing nuclear weapons, he tweeted on Saturday.

Conway, a proud Democrat, has previously called the Trump administration a dumpster fire, questioned the presidents fitness for office, and taunted him about the Russia investigation. Trump has dismissed Conways criticism as just an attempt to drum up publicity for himself, but its clearly never a good look for someone so close to his administration to so openly question his sanity.

(34,326 posts)I'm getting to the point where I think they're in cahoots somehow, so when this clusterfuck finally ends, at least one of them will be able to secure gainful employment.
I also question whether Conway is "a proud Democrat." According to this New York Times profile of him, he's a conservative:
Kellyanne Conways Husband Takes White House to Task on Twitter
In Washington, Mr. Conway, 54, a corporate litigator, is known as the high-powered other half of a conservative power couple: His wife, Kellyanne Conway, is counselor to the president.
Hes one of my most conservative friends, said Lisa Blatt, a lawyer who has known Mr. Conway for six years. He hasnt changed that much to me since before Trump was even a candidate.

(42,514 posts)Conway was one of the lawyers who represented Paula Jones in her lawsuit against U.S. President Bill Clinton.[4][5] During the representation of Jones, he worked closely with Ann Coulter and Matt Drudge.[6] On March 29, 2010, Conway argued the securities case of Morrison v. National Australia Bank before the U.S. Supreme Court, and won with an 80 vote with an opinion by Justice Antonin Scalia.[7]
Conway had been considered a candidate for some U.S. Department of Justice posts. In January 2017, Conway was considered for the post of Solicitor General along with Gregory G. Katsas, prior to the post going to Noel Francisco.[8][9][10] On March 17, 2017, Conway was reported to be the nominee as Assistant Attorney General to head the Civil Division at the U.S. Department of Justice.[11][12][13] However, on June 2, 2017, he announced that he declined to pursue the post.[14][15] On November 16, 2018, Conway stated that a reason he did not join the Trump administration is because it is like a shitshow in a dumpster fire.[16]
