Lincoln Project co-founder George Conway poked fun at Donald Trump Wednesday, suggesting it was easy for the conservative attorney to trigger the former president.
"You have an interesting perspective on how thin-skinned Donald Trump is," MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace told Conway. "Your tweets drove him bat s--t crazy."
"He can't help it!" Conway exclaimed.
Trump, he said, "hate watches" MSNBC. Trump is known for attacking the network as being nothing more than a branch of the Democratic Party.
"He might be watching right now," Conway chuckled. "And probably throwing something at the television. I don't know. He can't help himself — but [to] emotionally react to things. And one of the things is that he's a narcissistic sociopath, and everyone has to get used to it [as] the reason why you [cannot] normalize him. You can't treat him like a normal human being because he is not. He is unwell."
According to Conway, it's why Trump can't follow directions from his attorneys, even if it is in his own interest. That was on full display during the E. Jean Carroll trial. In that case, Trump reportedly fired his lawyer, Joe Tacopina, who had been blocking Trump from saying or doing anything publicly on the matter so as to protect himself from further litigation. Once Tacopina was gone, Trump began posting online and acting out in court.
"He played right into the plaintiff's hands in the E. Jean Carroll case," said Conway. "They're trying to show he's a jerk, and he acts like a jerk in front of the jury, and he showed disrespect for the jury. And the fact of the matter is, he's saying, 'None of this ever happened.' Well, okay. Where is your testimony? Where is your testimony?"
What he found the most interesting, Conway continued, is that he can get the best advice from the highest-paid lawyers in the country, and it can still be one person needling him on television that triggers a response.
"He will be told it is insane for any lawyer to give him advice to testify in his own defense. But then, you know, what is going to happen when someone like me goes on a show and says, 'Donald, Donald, you're scared! Your lawyers are making you look scared.'"
