George Conway used Twitter to make it crystal clear how he felt about President Donald Trump’s televised Oval Office address on Tuesday night.
The lawyer and husband of senior White House counselor Kellyanne Conway retweeted multiple posts that were critical of both Trump and his speech, in which the president repeated several lies about immigration.
Conway has become a vocal critic of Trump in recent months, despite his wife’s close working relationship with the commander in chief. He reshared posts calling the address “bloody...awful,” “underwhelming,” “terrible” and “a mess for everyone involved.”
Now I see why Trump has never before given an Oval Office address. Just...bloody...awful. #TrumpAddress

My quick take on this speech: Huh?

Low energy.

No stamina!
Weak! Sad!
Despite what Trump has claimed, not a single mile of an extended wall has been built on the U.S.-Mexico border so far.https://t.co/t0LetfHvyk

There was nothing too interesting in that speech, and nothing too interesting about that speech.

tonight was sort of a mess for everyone involved

An underwhelming speech by a president without a plan. https://t.co/4pTJq6tkUj

The national political equivalent of a meeting that could’ve been an email

Good grief, what speech were you watching, Rich? Both of tonight’s were terrible. https://t.co/kpxyEAesKi

OK, I am a not a fan of Donald Trump’s.
But speaking as a former White House chief speech writer (for a president seen as a bad speaker), this was a TERRIBLE performance.

President Trump made several misleading claims in his Oval Office address, including on the amount of illegal drugs coming across the U.S. border (it's small) and Democrats requesting the wall be made of steel (they didn't). https://t.co/JehNexDhKj
