George Conway with his Anti-Psychopath PAC has gotten through Trump's fragile, rigid defenses, By Hal Brown, MSW
He may not be screaming in agony on the outside but he sure seems to be screaming on the inside.
Trump has managed to soldier on through many personal attacks. It is very possible that George Conway who, while a lawyer, deserves an honorary doctoral degree in Trump psychology, may have finally found his Achille's heel.
He may not be screaming in agony on the outside but he sure seems to be screaming on the inside.
George Conway's new poltical action committee has beenrunning this adon Fox News, ESPN, and the Golf Channel in Palm Beach and Bedminster. I expect they assume that they had an audience of one, and that this is what counted for them.
The Anti-Psychopath PAC made it's first splash during the Republican National Convention with billboards and trucks.
Now we have proof positive (not fake news, folks) that this has gotten to Trump. This is what he posted on Truth Social:
I doubt Trump is going to do what I did. I not only looked at the Anti-Psychopath PAC X page and posted there, but also looked at their Facebook page (here)
This is what I posted on their Facebook page along with the illustration I made for this blog:
Donald Trump was the one who has just been bigly badly hurt and humiliated. He has demonstrated the fagility and rigidity of his psychological defenses as this retired psychotherapist, Dr. Mary Trump, Dr. John Gartner, and many others have pointed out by this unhinged Truth Social Post. He has a case of "if you can't stand the message attack the messenger." George Conway might say "I'm rubber, you're glue, everything you say about me bounces off me and sticks to you (like Ketchup)." He's even been maneuvered into attacking Fox News. I wonder if George has found Trump's Achilles' heel and that this will be his undoing.
It shouldn't be necessary to point out that when Trump accuses someone of something he is guilty of it is a manifestation of the primitive defense mechanism projection. He called Conway crazy!
Not only that, but by saying that he was badly hurt and humiliated by his wife because she must have done some really NASTY (his caps) things to him, he may be revealing what Melania did to him. He said it, I didn't:
Consider what he told Laura Ingram when asked how Melania reacted to seeing him shot:
"Which is OK, because that means she likes me or she loves me. Let's say if she could talk about it freely, that would be, I'm not so sure which is better but ah, she either likes or loves me, that's nice." (Read article)
Trump is a TV addict. He not only watches Fox News but also watches "Morning Joe" because he can't resist watching even his harshest critics talk about him.
With his ego I doubt he will press mute when he sees the Anti-Psychopath and other ads, for example those from The Lincoln Project (of which Conway was a co-founder) are aired.
Thanks to Trump's reactive personality and his way of lashing out against anyone who attacks him, often in the wee hours on Truth Social, we will see how effective these hard-hitting ads are.
Kamala Harris doesn't have to go low when they go low. Of course it was Michelle Obama who said "when they go low, we go high." When Trump and his surrogates take the lowest road possible Harris and her campaign can take the dignified high road. They can leave it to Conway's PAC and The Lincoln Project with the acerbic Rick Wilson (his X page) to deftly and unmercifully rip the bandage off of Trump. (I couldn't resist using that thanks to Trump and his now famous bandage.)
Addendum:
This is Wilson's response to the Trump Truth Social post:
