It’s ok George, we still love u 😂🔥

I have never been wrong about Trump, ever, not since he started showing his ugly, sleazy mug around NYC in the eighties. I know a creep when I see one.

And you've been actively, productively, and (I suspect) expensively open about it. You've more than earned your respect.

He donated $1M to Kamala. Yes, expensively.

I never took Trump seriously and that was my mistake, as was it my mistake for believing in the best of people when the fate of the country is on the line. I won’t make the mistake of trusting my fellow man again.

👍

Love ya George. You’ve definitely been through it. 🙋🏻‍♀️

You’ve done a good job trying to make up for it. And you have a better knowledge of just how sordid this all is having been inside it. Keep doing you. Love it.

In a slight twist, I was right about Trump from the very beginning and continue to be right about him. Knew he was a narcissistic con artist from his early days, and he hasn’t changed one bit. Now, he is a dangerous, narcissistic con artist hell bent on destroying America.

🤔 Is this the new fucking normal? #TrumpAsHitler #FascistInChief 😂😢

Wait a sec--when did you actually like him?

Probably when his ex-wife supported his presidency and worked in his administration.

George maxed out his contributions to Kamala and has said publicly that he figured out Trump’s con right away. Trump likely helped cause his divorce. Give him a break already.

My comment wasn't critical of him. I was just stating my observation. He was under consideration to work for the administration and for whatever reason that didn't happen. And that seemed to allow him to be more critical from that point on.

Fair

That isn't to say that he didn't catch on to Trump before inauguration. He might have muted his criticism because his wife was in the administration, he was up for a role in the administration and he wanted to give Trump a chance. Unlike others, I don't hold what happened in the past against him.

That’s the same as Bolton and a slew of other, otherwise normie conservatives, who knew better BUT if it means a prestigious job that will roll into a book or maybe a $how, then fuck the people and the country they’re all in. Name ONE who has left purely on conscience versus being slighted.

George Conway left before being publicly slighted.

I think people like Bolton joined the administration hoping they could make positive change. That was the perception of many Republicans in the first administration. Anybody who joined it the second administration knows what they are getting into

To be fair, his definition of 'positive change' is not mine!

I agree. It was a matter of a more hawkish personality. I'm just saying why people joined the administration who might have disagreed with him.

I completely understood the point. 👍

well, i give some in his first admin the cause that they tried (and managed) to prevent the worst from happening.

You need to go one further. People who trust you need to hear that you were wrong about modern Republicanism too. Remember, Trump would be just a bloated, has-been game show host living through serial bankruptcies were it not for the Republican Party, who chose him as their leader THREE times.

I was never wrong, since the day I walked the Atlantic City boardwalk in the early 1990’s and saw the name Trump on every casino. Every exposure to that name after only verified my view. Over the top inflated ego.

Blinded by the light... of ambition and greed. Some never came back.

I was right about Trump and I was wrong about America.

OMG me too. This is what breaks my heart every single day.

Yes, exactly! In 2016 I listened to him speak & thought “he’s such an obvious idiot & bullshitter; no way he’d ever get elected.” But damn, did I overestimate the intelligence of millions of American voters.

Thank you George!

I was never wrong about trump. I always viewed him as a malignant narcissistic festering boil.

Being the age that you are, I struggle to understand how you were wrong.

I was definitely wrong about Trump. I thought he would be ineffectual and harmful. Turns out he’s exceeded these expectations by multiple orders of magnitude.

I was never wrong about 🍊

Why did it take you so long to figure it out? You're a bright guy; you saw the insanity of Obama birth issue, the central park 5, the treatment of contractors, etc. Figure you don't need the $$, so what???? And, i do appreciate your turn to the bright side of life. It all confuses me.

I remember what he did and said about the CP5 and his interview with Larry King when he said he hated them and”maybe hate is what we need.” I wasn’t wrong about him.

I thank all those who can admit they were wrong about him.

I was never wrong about Trump and wish I was because he's so much worse than I thought he'd be.

Thank you for the dose of honesty. It takes a big person to do the mea culpa thing. Now let's get back to the business of slayng fascist heathens.

Narcissists corrupt your lifelong understanding of yourself and your relationships with others. Truths, beliefs, and justification are gaslighted, and you experience an epistemic crisis. I think this is happening in America atm.

If still of this life, my dad would be saying he was wrong about Trump back in 2016. His thought was that Trump has lots of money so he can't be bought. Still waiting for another family member to come to his senses.

Anyone who went along with the Obama is a Kenyan, birther bullshit, is a complete piece of shit and helped destroy this country. Also those who didn’t believe Former Secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton, who told the world that he was a puppet for Russia. She was right about everything.

We love George. 😇

Brother. You went through hell, and did bad things, but you have legit been walking the walk of righteousness ever since. We’re lucky to have you.

I was wrong about MAGA. I had assumed that at some point that these people are salvagable. But they are lost causes.

He is a know Pedo. And they swallow his bullshit.

I was wrong about Trump before I was right about Trump. 2016, I knew I was wrong when he came down the escalator. Biggest mistake of my life and I have made a lot of mistakes.

Good man! Many of my friends were too. No longer.

I was right before right was cool.

He has been a con artist since the 70's, seen this coming for miles.

Interesting how he's been a known scum bag since the 80s but so many intelligent ppl fell for him. Now it seems what's left is hate/cruelty/power hungry vs. decency. Policy seems somewhat secondary.

Think he'll keep the exemption for using the flag during insurrections and while attempting to kill Capital police?

My opinion of Trump has been the same since the days of his casino ventures. He was a horrible human then, he’s a horrible human as well as president now.

Thank you, George. You're more than making up for it. We do get snarky here, but your courage and your leadership mean a lot.

How is it that so many smart people were wrong when so many of us ditch diggers knew exactly what he was? I wonder.

What I knew about Trump before he started his campaign was that he was an obnoxious, racist boor who kept going bankrupt. So I don't get it. 🤷‍♀️

The only think I really knew about Trump was that he was some kind of NY celebrity business guy. Never saw the apprentice and didn't pay any attention to him. When he came down the escalator and gave that fascist speech, I knew all I needed to know.

I remember seeing TV commercials for The Apprentice and wondering who the hell would subject themselves to watching that garbage.

They were only concerned about their bank accounts.

It’s rhetorical. All these scumbags that backed him in 15’ thought they’d have a taste. When that didn’t happen, they wrote a book or got a podcast.

He’s such an obvious fraudster and conman I could see it in the 80s and I wasn’t even old enough to drive yet. I think many know he’s a fraud but still fall for the con that being close to him will make you rich or powerful. Maybe worked for a few for a while.

The bottom line is that Trump is, in fact, a very skilled conman. He says what people want to hear. And he hammers away with complete self-confidence. I believe it is/was very busy people who didn’t take the time to see what stood behind the confident claims.

By 85 he had a terrible reputation throughout the tri-state. It baffles me that anyone ever took him seriously.

Because they saw him as “one of them” and assumed he was just putting on an act to manipulate the masses. And then confirmation bias and wishful thinking ensured that anything that supported their presumptions was up-weighted, and anything that didn’t could be ignored.

The rest of us aren’t necessarily smarter than them (though perceptions of who “smart” people are suffer from the same problems) but we managed to escape that mental filter. Or so my confirmation bias tells me.

Hi there, You seem look alot like the future i have been hoping for...Would be very nice to get to know How are you doing today??

i used to wonder that about you...& took account, as well, the woman to whom you were (are>? i quit paying attention once you "crossed over" to our side publicly) married, wondering, oh how could he>?! but thank you, deeply, for your "conversion". no hard feelings.

Proud to say I couldn’t stand Trump decades before he ran. Always struck me as a slime wad

We all underestimated him. Or actually them. At that time we didn’t even know about them.

You know what would be fun? A national campaign of mockery directed at Mr. Frowny Face. What if we all started demanding that he smile more often? Ask the million possible reasons WHY he isn't smiling. The dude never smiles naturally. (No, smirks don't count.) GIFS. Memes. It's be hilarious.

Trump supporters: There is no shame in realizing you were misled. In fact, it shows character, courage, and intelligence. Abandon the madness. Please consider joining your friends on the Blue team or the Independent team, and move away from the wrong side of history. Thank you.

🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️

Thanks, George.

His birtherism and racism should have disqualified him for most sentient people. You didn't have smart, just conscious.

🎯🎯🎯

And sadly your wife is still wrong about him

There are more reasons for someones decisions then words fit in a social media post. She's not stupid enough to NOT knew what Trump is and what he's doing. And she took a side.

But why George chooses to stay with her is puzzling

Maybe he just loves her? And for a real conservative, you don't just give up a marriage. There are many reasons ...

I haven't been wrong about him since I read that anti-NATO screed he published in several newspapers in the mid-1980s and said to myself, "What an asshole this guy is!" So far, I haven't been proven wrong.

I was never wrong about Trump. The first time I saw him in people magazine very long ago, I knew he was trash. Never watched his show, never ever had any respect for him. To me it was obvious.

Same. And call me petty - but I judged his looks. I first saw him when I was a child. I thought “if he’s rich, can’t he get someone to fix that hair?” I remember seeing him on Oprah or something. I knew right away he was sleaze. I maintain my stance on the hair. It just proves no one ever says no.

I was always right about him too, but I don't understand how people look at him and don't see the malignant narcissistic sociopath embodiment of cruelty and evil that I see. When they say they love him, I'm repulsed, and trust none of their judgement ever again.

When you don’t have 2 brain cells to rub together, life AINT easy being MAGNUTS

Exactly!!! He has never appeared smart! Just listen to him speak! And masculine? Hell no! Strong? Not in the slightest! How can anyone miss that he’s a vulgar creeper? Is it all down to racism?

I think he cobbled together groups that didn't have enough power on their own, and made them one by offering all of them their dream list of wants. Evangelicals with KKK, uneducated with 1%ers, they see what's for them and don't care about the rest.

Americans have a hero worship problem. We have made 'heroes' out of weathly people for no other reason than they are wealthy. Not good or bad deeds. No heroic acts. Just riches. It's incredibly childish.

I appreciate your admission and your later vocal opposition. Will you also admit to being wrong about the Republican Party pre-Trump? His emergence was made possible by the GOP's 50 year authoritarian project + the collective failure to punish wrongdoing (Nixon, Iran-Contra, Iraq, Great Recession).

I lived 18 years in NYC occasionally noticing Trump acting like a chump. I’ve never been wrong about what a narcissistic, racist, cheating, lying prick he is and always has been. It’s been obvious forever. But that ain’t the point… 1/2

Because it’s precisely a narcissistic, racist, cheating, lying prick who’s wanted to run a fascist movement. That’s what his followers like, because it gives them permission to express their own narcissistic, racist, cheating and lying tendencies. And so here we are, ill-prepared for the moment.

LMFGAO

Remember , in his first term, when people said that we should just give him a chance? Don't hear that now.

Marco Rubio, Lindsey Graham, and JD Vance were right about Trump before they were wrong about Trump.

Wish we all had the means as Tim, to move out of the country for protection keep throwing shade behind the maple leaf.

I have always been right about him but I appreciate those who have believed their eyes and changed their minds

Thank you George Conway for having courage, honor, integrity - it takes a lot to admit we are wrong.

I was right about that guy and his whole family. What I was wrong about was Congress and top government officials. Those who could have stood up to him in the very beginning and thus put a quick end to his takeover didn’t, and I hope they rot in a living hell of their own making.

I was right about Trump before I was proven right about Trump!

George, your dogged outspokenness and your willingness to admit you were wrong before you were right are absolutely commendable. There are many policy issues on which I disagree with you, but you deserve credit for being so out front.

What the hell happened to your ex? Your poor kids…

I was right about Trump & wrong about the GOP. I never thought they'd cave to his worst instincts over the welfare of the American people. I thought they would check him right up until they stood silently by as Trump called COVID-19 a political hoax while a half million citizens died in mere months

Yes, me too. I’ve certainly learned a lot about the.commitment of current GOP politicians to themselves alone, the fragility of our constitution and the requirement for people—of honor and integrity—to choose to uphold it. And human nature in general. I’m assuming nothing now.

On the other hand, Sasha was always right about Trump: www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0985...

George Conway, right about Trump since 2018.

Hello

Don’t worry, George. We love you now. We have no doubt where you stand. And you stand with democracy and what is decent in this world. Thank you.

I thought Trump was going to impose martial law in DC on January 6, 2021. I was wrong, he waited another 4½ years, so I guess I was wrong about the timeline.

You did it the right way, George, by educating yourself on his psychopathology & applying his behavior & the consequences to it.

Im sorry. I was right about King Fuck being always wrong..I mean he even started a charity so he could steal from it..he bought casinos so he could bankrupt them, .he plays golf so he can win championships that he never played in..His mother said he was a troubled and didn't do a damn thing for him

This needs to be shared widely - youtube.com/shorts/4q2vM...

The terrifying truth! cmarmitage.substack.com/p/i-research...

I will never 100% trust ex Republicans. Sorry. They’ve been really shitty for a long time. And Trump was literally a joke on the world stage before he ever ran for office, and yet still all these people thought it was a great idea.

Honest question here. What made you like him in the first place?

I’ve always been right about Trump

The only things Trump is good at are bad. Name an exception.

Right about him since 1988. Full stop. Empty suit.

Hated him from day one for his climate views. He’s gone significantly down hill since then.

It took a long time for me to trust you. Thank you

We know George. It's good to say it, but you have made it clear already.

Like the majority of Americans, I was never wrong about Trump. How is it that we have come to be a nation ruled by the minority?

Mr.Conway, what was the turning point for you?

It probably started when Trump didn't put him in the administration, which allowed him to freely criticize Trump. www.businessinsider.com/george-conwa...

I need to know, because, he’s got to have a better bullshit detector to have fallen for his. It’s not even close. Yet, we have a roomful of reporters who STILL said nothing to crazy shit like dropping prices 1500%. WTF is going on here? I feel like I’m in an alternate universe. Someone explain.

He can explain it to you but when it happened, I left the NY Times and WaPos comments boards and was strictly on Twitter thereafter. An article George had written in WaPo (?) referenced his acct on Twitter and here we are so many yrs later.

If George would like to address, I'd love to listen... Might help all of us help friends and family... Maybe... Turn that same corner. But... I do appreciate... Absolutely no doubt where George stands now

Just dropping this here for anyone interesting in reading and/or sharing. leavingmaga.org

George… you have more than made up for it buddy! More than!

Thanks George! I was never wrong about the kind of cocksucker he is! I knew he was a colossal spunk nozzle shit for brains nitwit back in the 90's! Fuck Trump

I was right about Trump from MANY FUCKING YEARS AGO!!!!!

Glad you came around but I still find it hard to believe so many of you thought Trump had something to offer the country when he was a known bully, cheat, shitty businessman, & all-around amoral skank.

I remember tv news & newspaper reports in the early 1970s about Trump & his POS father refusing to rent to Black people 🙄 50 years ago 😳 I also remember when he evicted that poor lady in her 70s, destroying all of her belongings & dumping her out in the rain. That's your fucking president 🤬

A stroke victim, at that.

Orthopraxis sublates orthodoxy

I appreciate what you've been doing since... While no one likes a know-it-all, I was always right about Trump. I couldn't even stand him during The Apprentice days, and one of the many things I'm angry about is that now I can't avoid him...

It was the birther shit for me.

Hi there, You seem look alot like the future i have been hoping for...Would be very nice to get to know How are you doing today??

Only Americans were wrong about Trump.

I have not been wrong about trump since 2015 - I spotted him as a creep then and still do.

The second he came down that gold escalator

I laughed when they said he would win the primaries in 2015. I laughed and said "what American would vote for that fascist?" I learned.

2016

I worked for the iconic retailer that, very briefly, tried to help him introduce his meat slabs. I wasn't involved in that decision. I was involved in feedback though, and glad to say the association ended real quick. So I've been right about The Amoral One for a pretty long time.

I was never wrong about Trump.

Why did you support him in the beginning, because his record was already public knowledge for decades. Anyway, I am glad you now see him for who he really is.

my dad always said the thing i did *after* the mistake was the most important part.

I read Trump for what he is. Its the rest of the party filled with wet noodle sycophants

I wonder what will happen to these sycophants once F47 finds out he isn't going to heaven. (BTW I love "wet noodle sycophants.")

I love the term "wet noodle sycophants" the actual wet noodle sycophants not so much.

I was wrong about Trump's support. He was always a bad joke and completely unfit for any office. I just couldn't imagine anyone would ever take him seriously. Still can't.

Hi there, You seem look alot like the future i have been hoping for...Would be very nice to get to know How are you doing today??

And we thank you for seeing that error

How could you ever be wrong about him??

January 6, 2021 should have turned every single American against Trump. Full stop!

Plus, he is a 34-times convicted felon, and sexual assaulter‼️😡

I was right about Trump but wrong about America.

Dude, you are awesome. It's hard for me to understand how someone as smart as you seem to be could have fallen for his scam, but you're doing good things now. If I ever had the chance to have a beer with you, I'd be fascinated to go deep and learn how you're previous mentality worked.

Few have openly admitted their mistake as honestly as you have.

Amen to that! 😇

I am proud to say I was never wrong about him. Never even hard, though I had often supported Republicans before him.

Same. I think most of thought he was a clown well before he announced in 2015.

I thought he was a Democrat plant in the lead up to that election. I couldn’t believe he got even 1 vote other than his own after all the B.S. that went on. I wish the D’s had wised up in time to defeat him the 2nd time around. Democracy may not survive the next 3 yr.

Hey...it was a one-off!! We're happy you're on the pro-Democracy side!!

We didn't know you when you liked him, George....

True. But for Trump I would’ve need stumbled upon the esteemed George Conway. That other Conway who shall not be named I wish I had never heard of, though.
