Conway, who continued to hold the president's favor and to be his preferred defender on the cable news shows, had publicly declared herself the face of the administration-and for Ivanka and Jared, this was a horrifying face. The president's worst impulses seem to run through Conway without benefit of a filter. She compounded Trump's anger, impulsiveness, and miscues. Whereas a presidential adviser was supposed to buffer and interpret his gut calls, Conway expressed them, doubled down on them, made opera out of them.
Kellyanne Conway solidified her position as a key defender of President Trump, often appearing as a prominent spokesperson in media. However, her alignment with Trump’s more extreme tendencies was alarming to others, particularly his daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner. They viewed her as a troubling representation of the administration's direction.
Conway did not act as a moderating influence, which is typically expected from a presidential adviser. Instead, she amplified Trump's more volatile traits, embracing his impulsive decisions without hesitation. Rather than offering guidance or temperance, she transformed his controversial instincts into a central narrative, often exacerbating the situation rather than diffusing it.
