Addressing Donald Trump's meltdowns and irrational behavior in his latest courtroom appearances, conservative attorney George Conway disabused any notion that the former president is engaging in an elaborate strategy to rally his supporters and plead his case in the court of public opinion.
During an appearance on MSNBC's "The Weekend", a very animated Conway explained that the former president is nothing more than a petulant child who is unable to control himself.
"There is no strategy, it is just all emotional," he told the MSNBC hosts. "It's all — look, it is bragging and lying and intimidating and bullying. That is literally those are the things that he does. And there he is trying to bully. There he is just angry at being held accountable."

"He is like a -- he is a five-year-old, okay?" Conway exclaimed before adding, "Except intellectually more challenged than most five-year-olds. He is emotionally stunted at five years old and he throws tantrums. And this is a big tantrum. This is him just showing frustration."
"Psychologically, he is so damaged, he cannot help himself, he is hurting himself," he continued. "I mean, Alina Habba, as terrible a lawyer as she is, she is doing some stuff that actually makes sense."

"She is trying to minimize his [Trump's] effect on her [E. Jean Carroll]," he added by pointing to Habba's questioning in the Carroll defamation trial. "For example, I mean it's nonsense, but 'Oh there were five hours before the president made a comment in 2019 where people were attacking you. So it wasn't really Donald Trump who was causing you harm.' It's nonsense, so she is trying to minimize the effect that he had on her [Carroll], and then he is there making these comments in open court, holding a press conference outside, and posting on stuff at two in the morning that completely undoes what they are trying to do."
