During the ongoing New York defamation trial, conservative attorney George Conway has openly criticized former President Donald Trump, branding him as “dumb.” The controversy emerged during the cross-examination led by Trump’s lawyer, Alina Habba, in response to allegations brought by writer E. Jean Carroll, who accused Trump of sexual assault in the 1990s.
According to a recent report by Newsweek on January 18, Habba’s questioning strategy focused on Carroll’s associations with Trump critics, notably emphasizing Conway’s involvement. Conway, a vocal Trump opponent and the husband of former Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway, seized the opportunity to publicly denounce both Trump and Habba on social media.
“If you’re wondering just how dumb Trump and Habba are, this may help,” Conway asserted on social media, quoting Habba’s exchange with Carroll regarding him. Mocking Habba’s past remark about faking intelligence, Conway added, “Yep. I admit it. Alina’s definitely pretty. But she doesn’t fake smart very well.”

Conway vehemently dismissed Habba’s attempt to frame him as the catalyst for Carroll’s lawsuit and continued his scathing commentary on Trump’s involvement in the high-profile trial. Expressing sarcastic pleasure, Conway announced his “admission into evidence” and thanked the court for the “honor.”
This exchange of insults underscores the longstanding contempt between Trump and one of his most fervent conservative critics. Conway, known for his consistent criticism of the former president, emphasized Trump’s perceived pettiness and vindictiveness by highlighting his continued animosity towards Conway.
Beyond the personal attacks, Conway also took aim at Habba, portraying her as an intellectual lightweight and insinuating that Trump’s reliance on such legal counsel reflects poorly on his decision-making. Conway’s disparaging remarks provide fresh ammunition for Trump’s detractors, contributing to the existing narrative of the former president as thin-skinned and egotistical.
As the defamation trial gains national attention, Conway’s outspoken mockery of Trump’s perceived blunders ensures that the former president remains subject to high-profile criticism. Conway concluded by affirming his commitment to using his platform outside of formal politics to brand Trump as undeserving of power or respect.
