The latest memoir from a member of former President Donald J. Trump’s administration comes from Kellyanne Conway who served as campaign manager during his historic 2016 run as well as White House senior counselor and, unlike so many other former insiders with their own tell-all books, she isn’t cashing in by dumping on her former boss.
Conway, who proudly served under Trump from 2017 to 2020 despite being constantly undermined by her Trump-hating husband George Conway is dishing the details of the experience in her new memoir “Here’s the Deal” which hits bookshelves next week.
In a sneak peek published by People magazine on Thursday, Conway, who was the first woman to manage a winning presidential campaign didn’t hold back with details on her marital problems stemming from her husband’s addiction to trashing her boss on Twitter and other media, the challenges of the job and the support that she was given by Melania and Ivanka Trump.
According to the excerpt from Conway’s book, “George was spending chunks of time in New York at the firm, where he voluntarily went from partner to an of-counsel role, spending his nights alone at our house in Alpine, New Jersey, 240 miles away from D.C. The numbers don’t lie. During this time, the frequency and ferocity of his tweets accelerated.”
“Clearly he was cheating by tweeting,” she wrote. “I was having a hard time competing with his new fling.”
She added:
I had already said publicly what I’d said privately to George: that his daily deluge of insults-by-tweet against my boss—or, as he put it sometimes, “the people in the White House”—violated our marriage vows to “love, honor, and cherish” each other. Those vows, of course, do not mean we must agree about politics or policies or even the president. In our democracy, as in our marriage, George was free to disagree, even if it meant a complete 180 from his active support for Trump-Pence–My Wife–2016 and a whiplash change in character from privately brilliant to publicly bombastic.
“Whoop-de-do, George!” I said to him. “You are one of millions of people who don’t like the president. Congrats.”
“The usual silence,” she wrote. “I continued: ‘But you are one of one whose wife is counselor to the president. You shouldn’t criticize me publicly. And when did you become so mean? That is so not you.'”
“George’s answers were always the same. Trump, Trump, Trump . . . The reflexive, obsessive, formulaic ‘but Trump’ slur that permeated half the Congress and half the country was now dominating half the Conway couple,” she recounted.
Conway also provided insight on her relationship with Ivanka Trump, revealing, “I did get some much-needed female support inside the White House, including from a colleague who happened to be the president’s daughter.”
“Ivanka and I had a cordial relationship in the White House, though never as tight as we’d been during the 2016 campaign. Our work didn’t require daily contact, but we stepped in and stepped up together in the foxhole, sometimes as the only foxes in there. On occasion I’d come to her for big decisions regarding her father, and she’d consult with me about how to handle this or that. Ivanka offered empathy and an ear,” she recalled.
In another excerpt, Conway described the problems caused by George’s obsession with Trump, a humiliating way to treat his spouse in complete disrespect for her job. “As soon as I walked in, I immediately recognized the perturbed look on the president’s face—and the voice emanating from the box. It was Melania’s. The First Lady was on the phone,”
“‘Can you believe this?’ Trump said, referring to George’s recent eruptions. ‘This guy is nasty. He won’t stop. And it’s our Kellyanne. She’s my top person. She knows a lot, too! What are we going to do?'” Conway wrote.
She continued, “Melania’s calm voice piped in immediately as my mouth closed and my eyes widened. Donald,’ she said, ‘this is not her fault. And she is a big girl. Strong and confident.’ Melania wasn’t done. ‘We don’t control our husbands—and you don’t control us!'”
“Trump couldn’t argue with that,” Conway recalled. “I didn’t ask for any of this. I felt awkward and embarrassed that the president of the United States and the First Lady had to spend even a minute on this and yet felt relieved and protected from what was becoming an armful of harmful.”
Amazon describes the book:
“In Here’s The Deal, Kellyanne takes you on a journey all the way to the White House and beyond with her trademark sharp wit, raw honesty, and level eye. It’s all here: what it’s like to be dissected on national television. How to outsmart the media mob. How to outclass the crazy critics. How to survive and succeed male-dominated industries. What happens when the perils of social media really hit home. And what happens when the divisions across the country start playing out in one’s own family.”
“In this open and vulnerable account, Kellyanne turns the camera on herself. What she has to share—about our politics, about the media, about her time in the White House, and about her personal journey—is an astonishing glimpse of visibility and vulnerability, of professional and personal highs and lows, and ultimately, of triumph.”
Conway’s book “Here’s the Deal: A Memoir” is currently available for pre-order and will be released on Tuesday, May 24, 2022.

How often do you have to get checked for STD’s from your “at home” adventure? You are on the WRONG website to brag about your hooker experience.
Simple. George (a toad) was and is jealous of Donald (a president of the United States, world renown, and statuesque billionaire) and as such, lashed out like a middle school girl.
Here’s another odd couple that mystifies me: Mary Matalin and James Carville… proof that ‘looks don’t count for much’ and apparently ‘political behavior’ either. Which may be something that’s built-in to ensure the continuance of the human species… still, I feel for their kids, I too was raised by political opposites.
This article reveals more about the relationship between Donald and Melanie in a single paragraph than we’ve seen from all of the media combined over 6 years.
The account of the telephone exchange utterly destroys pretty much every characterization we’ve seen over the years.
Mr. Conway, (KellyAnnes husband)is a rude, obnoxious short little man that was so jealous of his wife for practically rising overnight to a political rockstar. And may I add more than half the country loved her and still does always. I would suggest KC seek divorce but that’s out of her realm bc her mature professional attitude keeps her from behaving like an immature mental midget like hubby GC
They’re not divorced?
They are devout Catholics AND still have minor children at home. It is unlikely they will divorce, if at all, until the last kid is out of the house.
Even Catholics DO NOT have to put up with IDIOITS for eternity! George is an imbecile and Godzilla couldn’t live with his sorry BUTT. IF the Pope saw what she’s married to, he’d DEMAND a DIVORCE!!!
KellyAnn deserves a divorce more than ANYBODY on the planet for putting up with that imbecile for so long! She made more than enough $$$$$$ to make it happen and why let her rectum of a “husband” make her live in misery when she has the support of the WORLD. George is a LOSER, so LOSE HIM!!! Let the kids see his sorry ass if they want, but I doubt if they care after the way he treated their mom.
It’s okay Kellyann… Leftists are scum in most aspects of life, George the fool is no different than any other supporter of the Democrat Party
For all of her obvious intelligence and guts Ms.Conway is a typical ‘battered wife’; belittled, abused and degraded by a vicious gluttonous lowlife full of hatred and contempt (for himself mainly but being a delusional coward he projected outwards onto others). I hope that she finds the strength to kick his fat ass out of her life. Considering that he has publicly and personally hunkered down with traitors, pedophiles and thieves, she really needs to remove this malignant reptile from her life.
I don’t think I could stay in a marriage like that. IMO, he was probably working on the daughter, and it was probably manifested in her behavior, too. I’d have to get out of that marriage. He worked with that Lincoln Project, whose members have proven to be less than proper too. I suppose she’s keeping it together for the four kids, because IMO, he’s no winner.
I agree that the problems with their daughter stemmed primarily from him and his disrespect for her mother. I cannot fathom why she would stay with this creep. I doubt that they are even now living together. I believe they are Catholic, but under the circumstances he needs to be kicked to the gutter, where he evidently belongs.
Here’ the deal, she should have dumped his sorry arse
Why doesn’t she leave him? He is just a low life that cares more about pleasing his friends more than pleasing his wife.
Four kids, probably.
George has a song written just for him, “He’s A Real No Where Man, Living in A No Where Land”, right where he belongs.
Yeah I can agree for the past year and a half and prolly for the rest of the four years ahead will feel as if we are living in a nowhere land. Let’s go Brandon! Thank you Brandon🤬
Kellyanne is one my favorite people. She did her job regardless of the constant harassment by her dipsh*t husband. You see where he and his friends are today don’t you?
Kellyann is a class act like Melanie and Ivanka. I too wondered why she stayed with a husband who has no loyalty to her and tries to undermine her all the time. He’s abusive.
Kellyanne is a very capable politically wise person. She had to be removed as a Trump advisor. but how? Leverge her husband via his Legal Contacts to Tweet anti-Trump, even at the risk to his marriage. George may have well been anti-Trump from the beginning BUT “He” didn’t have “a Public” problem until the WH days after Trump became president.
2020 was and is a Continuing Coup on duly elected government in the USA.
Politically this is a domestic war within the country, and within the Repub Party sponsored by the Establishment Elitists against Trumpsters, Deplorables, Tea Party, and other Patriots of various views. I wish more voters would wake up to the corruption within the Rino Repubs sElected Elitists.
If there is no respect, there is no civility. If you have no honor you have no soul, without a soul there is no basic humanity. Moral collapse the beginning of a societal collapse.
CLEARLY….that’s who George IS.
I have no idea how she stayed with that fat pig of a husband. Not is only is he an unkempt POS, but he’s just one more leftwing loony who is uninformed, disengaged from reality, and two dying brain cells from being a complete moron.
I think Kelly Ann was wrong; that clearly is who George is….
KellyAnne is tough as nails and a class act. She has been a loyal Trump supporter in light of her husband and daughter’s selfish tantrums!
so annoying. carville/matalin dog&pony redux. granted this phony pony’s make over has rendered her more tolerable to the eye of the camera.
Fat georgie is an embarrassment and the whole world, other than him, knows it. Poor baby…..
Creep….clearly!
Mean. Obviously this husband was threatened by his wife’s job and by the president. What has her intimidated husband done for our country but write hateful tweets? His behavior is truly disgusting. I’m sure he’s impressed with crazy Joe and his baby killing machinery, vaccines and their lethal mandates, skyrocketing fuel prices, runaway inflation, shortages of diesel, food and baby formula, loss of jobs by many especially in the oil industry, the closing of oil exploration and the pipeline, and another endless war of 44 billion dollars we don’t have, while Americans suffer. This “man” should feel real proud. Another one hiding behind being a Catholic, rather hiding behind religion.
George Conway is a childish arrogant nut case
…and that’s his good points!
Who was the guy Georgie was cheating with?
The mirror is my guess
George was jealous of his wife’s success and angry that he didn’t get a plum White House position. Small hand syndrome. Sad.
Small hand? LOL
One has to wonder why she stayed with Porky Pig. Why didn’t she kick hisass to the curb.
