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.
