Kellyanne Conway defends Trump: Husband isn't a psychiatrist

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Kellyanne Conway defended President Trump amid an escalating feud between the president and her husband in an interview with Politico published Wednesday.

“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?” she said.

Conway, the White House counselor, told the publication that Trump disregarded her husband's criticism for months “out of respect for me” but that she didn’t blame him for firing back after George Conway suggested earlier this week that Trump had diagnosable narcissistic personality disorder.

“Don't play psychiatrist any more than George should be,” Conway told the publication. “You're not a psychiatrist and he's not, respectfully.”

So much for that marriage. That Tourette's addled orange tub of lard is not worth fighting for.

1. Well we know from her early attacks on Trump during the primary, and her reversal once

the candidate who paid her dropped out that she will say anything for money.

2. And that's the truth (To quote Edith Ann),

6. Oh thanks so much for the memories your pic brings back!

7. I'll bet George Conway has dirt on the trumpenfurher...

And his Reich just from the scuttlebutt he hears from his wife. I hope he spills the beans real soon!

8. ...and trump's not a president

9. OOH! OOH! ME! MEEE!!!

Got the degree, had the practice (psychoanalyst,not psychiatrist but I know a gazillion of them) for many years, know the DSM-5, and Buddy, nobody I know has the least doubt he meets nearly all the criteria for NPS and several for other disorders.

But it's against ethics to do real diagnosing en absentia so this is apocrypha. Real diagnoses are serious business and Axis II, where the personality disorders lie, are quite different from Axis I, things that tend to respond to medication and other more neurochemical interventions. Treating them is really, REALLY hard because the person has no desire for treatment. It's not them; its everyone else that's the problem.

But frankly I'm Team George.

10. She chooses Trump over her own husband. What a sham of a marriage.

11. Do any of these people

live in the real world? We're suppose to be a superpower and an ally to the free world. These people are clowns and our protection devices, that cost taxpayers billions need to step in.
The ship is a rockin.

12. Before I retired I worked with several psychiatrists

and two of them told me they were pretty sure Trump has the mental illness that Conway's husband spoke about - narcissistic personality disorder (as described in the DSM V).
