Conway Slams TV Hosts Who 'Play Armchair Psychologist,' and Ridicule Trump's 'Mental State'

by Ken Meyer | 9:12 am, June 30th, 2017

Kellyanne Conway gave an interview to Fox & Friends on Friday, where she (naturally) ran defense for President Trump as he continues to take heat for his shockingly personal tweets against Mika Brzezinski.

Conway began by reacting to how Scarborough and Brzezinski addressed Trump’s slams as they held their show today.

“It’s incredible to watch people play armchair psychologists ridiculing the president’s physicalities, his mental state,” said Conway. “A lot of these people on TV do not criticize his policies. They do not criticize his actions and his beliefs. They criticize him. The office of the president and its current occupant.”

Conway launched into her usual criticisms about how the press cherry-picks which Trump tweets to cover while giving less attention to the other aspects of the presidency. Conway called Trump’s Twitter habits the “democratization of information” since the mainstream media can no longer be trusted to keep out their “corrosive” elements or discuss any issue that reflects positively on Trump.

Ainsley Earhardt eventually asked Conway about those who say that Trump was “sexist” for attacking Brzezinski over her looks. Conway answered that Trump has elevated women throughout his life, and she thought the sexism allegations were “rich” considering the “never-ending assault” of gender-based criticisms Conway has to deal with.

for a dollar as depicted in working for Ted Cruz saying one thing and now kiss Drumpf's butt saying another. So sit your botox butt down in your office in the basement and let intelligent people sort this out!

psychological evaluations do not require the physical presence on the exam table or lab reports. Behavior can be observed and evaluated from afar, and plenty of well-qualified psychologists have already weighed in on Cheeto Benito's bigly problems (that's a clinical term).

We're just playing the game by the rules your boss set up, Kellyanne. If he suddenly decides he doesn't like it anymore, that's too bad.

Today he says get rid of what we have and replace it later with...what? No one really knows. What's his policy in Syria, Israel? His tax plan is 3 pages that even little billy in congress laughed at. His foreign policy is vague, his domestic agenda non-existent, his understanding of what is being discussed in congress bordering on things picked up listening to FOX and friends.

Can we set the record straight, Trump spends more time feuding with TV personalities than developing, explaining, and implementing policies. It's pretty much why we fear his mental state and don't bother talking his policies. It's pretty clear Congress could pass a bill that declares Trump poopy boy of the month and Trump would sign it because he signs anything that they give them, which isn't much.
