The fascinating part of this report for me is the idea that trump was terrified of Kellyanne Conway, presumably because she's a powerful woman. No news on whether she's “nasty”, though.
“Parscale, and those who liked him, believed it was Kellyanne Conway who wanted him gone the most.
“During the 2016 campaign, Conway made no secret that she was annoyed by Parscale’s folksy habit of announcing, to outsiders, that he didn’t know much about politics — and annoyed, too, that he didn’t know much about politics.
“ ‘It’s charming that Donald Trump has never been in politics before,” she told him once. ‘It’s not charming that the people who work for him have never worked in politics before.’
“Parscale thought Conway wanted to take control of the 2020 campaign and that to do so, she needed to prove to the president that Kushner was fucking everything up, and that to do that, she needed to sabotage him.
“Trump was aware that Parscale saw Conway this way, but Trump also seemed terrified of Conway and never at risk of doing anything to intervene.”
