George Conway Rips the New York Times for ‘Projecting Normality’ Onto Donald Trump: ‘I Hate This’

George Conway, the prominent conservative lawyer and Trump critic, pulled no punches on Wednesday in torching the New York Times over a recent analysis of Trump’s war against the legal system.

Conway reacted to a Times video analysis posted to X, writing, “I hate this framing. Trump is a narcissistic psychopath. We need to stop projecting normality and rationality on him. THERE. IS. NO. STRATEGY.”

“Donald Trump is starting to show up more and more often in court. And it’s not because he has to. He seems to be doing this as a campaign strategy. It’s to bring live coverage on him and allowing him to make this case that it’s not him. That’s the threat to democracy. It’s Joe Biden. There’s no evidence for that, by the way,” says Times political reporter Jonathan Swan to start the analysis.

Swan goes on to argue that Trump is deftly using the legal proceedings as part of his campaign.

“Most candidates would drop out of the race. They would be done. The indictments, empirically, we’ve shown this in our reporting, have only strengthened him in the context of the Republican nominating contest,” Swan continued, adding:

They brought a surge of money, online donations into his campaign. They energized the Republican base, and he’s now the overwhelming dominant frontrunner. Right now, Donald Trump is ahead of Biden in polling. Voters trust Donald Trump. More on the economy, on immigration than they do Joe Biden.

“The big question that we can’t answer right now is what happens if Donald Trump is convicted this year? We had some polling that showed that in the six key battleground states, around 6% of voters said that they would switch their vote from Trump to Biden if he was convicted. You got to really caveat this stuff because polling right now is not predictive. However, if that does bear out, that’s enough to flip the election to Joe Biden,” Swan concluded.
