Spicer reported that Conway was "counseled." And allegedly, Trump "hated" the word "counseled."

(CNN)Kellyanne Conway, top adviser to President Donald Trump, apologized to him Thursday after her comments about Ivanka Trump's clothing line during a TV interview, a senior administration official told CNN.

The President expressed to her in that meeting that he backed her up "completely," the official said. The official also said that the President "hated" the word "counseled" -- as was used by press secretary Sean Spicer in the White House briefing Thursday in reference to the White House response to Conway's comments.

Conway tweeted Friday that she had the President's support.

objected to any response other than , fuck you, we can do what we want, I am a dictator.


Half of this country thinks rules only apply to the other side, because they dont actually believe in laws, democracy, the constitution, etc.

This is a simple concept, they dont believe in our country.

to both spellings of that word. To him, that means a lawyer spoke to her. And we all know how he feels about the law.

Trump's hating the message, and he is absolutely a shoot the messenger kind of guy. It's been said many times that his sense of loyalty doesn't extend beyond his family, and right now, the jury's out on how well that's playing out for him. The sons are more or less absent, even though Don Jr. in particular seemed to micro-manage every aspect of the campaign. Ivanka is having a hard time selling her crap, and Melania is doing the Garbo thing in Trump Tower, going over the pre-nup with a fine toothed comb, just to make sure she didn't miss anything. Sad! Unfair! Crooked!
