Kellyanne Conway's husband thinks Donald Trump is a ringer for the Star Wars character Jar Jar Binks following his 'rambling' emergency address
Conservative lawyer George Conway has been critical of The Trump administration even though his wife is a senior White House adviser, took a swipe at POTUS' skills as an orator
During a 50-minute address from the Rose Garden at the White House, Trump declared a national emergency on the border on Friday
The move was calculated to allow him to spend $8 billion building his wall after signing a bill to avoid a second government shutdown after a bitter standoff with Congress
Conway cited a scathing column by Henry Olsen that slammed what he described as a 'rambling and disjointed explanation' for why POTUS is declaring a national emergency to fund a wall on the US-Mexico border
Using a quote from the piece published by The Washington Post, Conway tweeted: Share this article Share 'Even the modern tyrants whom the president
praises demonstrate more facility with language and more attention to governing detail than does he
'To borrow from popular culture, Trump looks less like the sinister Emperor Palpatine and more like the hapless Jar Jar Binks
' The Star Wars character Jar Jar Binks , who plays a politician for the Galactic Republic, speaks in a somewhat broken dialect and is widely disliked in the moviesIntroduced in 1999's The Phantom Menace, the first of the prequel trilogy, ditzy alien Jar Jar is described as a 'clumsy, well-meaning Gungan outcast on Naboo, Jar Jar Binks struggled to prove his worth throughout his life,' according to the Star Wars website
. He also retweeted another humorous video showing Trump talking which was accompanied by a piano tune
At one point Trump used a bizarre sing-song voice to claim that he will face 'bad ruling' after 'bad ruling' on his national emergency declaration before winning 'easily' at the Supreme Court
Trump said national emergencies have been used 'many' times by past presidents as he harangued Obama for the economic slowdown that hung like a dark cloud over much of his tenure
He said he is considering a second emergency that would target to the cartels directly that is rooted in an emergency declaration his predecessor signed Conway recently called out Trump with a fact-check of the president's claims about illegal border crossings
Trump tweeted ahead of his State of the Union address last month that 'tremendous numbers of people are coming up through Mexico in the hopes of flooding our Southern Border
''We will build a Human Wall if necessary,' he added. 'If we had a real Wall, this would be a non-event!
'Conway hit back at his wife's boss with figures released by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection which showed a reduction in illegal border crossings
U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday took a jab at Conway whose critical tweets and editorials have attracted a large following because he is married to a top aide
'You mean, Mr. Kellyanne Conway,' Trump said to reporters when asked about a Thursday New York Times editorial by George Conway, who wrote that Trump's appointment of Matthew Whitaker as acting attorney general was unconstitutional
'He's trying to get publicity for himself,' Trump said, dismissing the commentary from the lawyer, whose wife managed Trump's 2016 presidential election campaign
'Why don't you do this: why don't you ask Kellyanne that question, alright? She might know him better than me
I really don't know the guy,' Trump said. Early in his presidency, Trump had considered George Conway for a top Department of Justice job, but Conway withdrew from consideration
Since that, Conway has frequently posted comments viewed as critical of the president on Twitter
In the past week, he retweeted articles about the number of false and misleading claims made by Trump during the congressional election campaign, and comments from former Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel who said Trump was using troops on the U
S. border with Mexico as 'pawns.'Last week, Conway co-authored an opinion piece in the Washington Post that argued a Trump move to end the right to citizenship for children of foreigners born on U
S. soil would be unconstitutional.'To say that 'illegal immigrants are not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States' is just drivel,' Conway wrote on Twitter, citing Trump's contention that birthright citizenship was not guaranteed by the U
S. Constitution.
