‘Stage four megalomaniac’: Conservative George Conway warns Trump ‘declared war’ at DOJ
Lincoln Project co-founder George Conway warned Friday that inside President Donald Trump’s grievance-filled speech at the Department of Justice hours earlier was a declaration of war on the legal community and U.S. Constitution.
Conway, an attorney and prominent anti-Trump conservative, made the comments just after the president delivered a rare speech during a visit to the DOJ, where he condemned his perceived political enemies and promised to jail opponents who led his sprawling criminal prosecutions.
“It was deranged,” Conway said. “There was really nothing surprising about anything that he said…other than the venue.” Conway later added: “He’s been saying this, not just since January 20, he’s been saying this for years.”
“You can go back and just go to Google and you can Google an article in October of 2024, just before the election, in NPR, and they looked it up and they said, ‘he’s over 100 times, has threatened to prosecute his enemies.’ This is Donald Trump. We are at stage four megalomania. He is just doing what he has always told us he wants to do.”

But the difference, MSNBC’s Alicia Menendez pointed out, was that now Trump “actually has resources at his disposal.”
Conway added that Trump is still losing court battles “at such an incredible rate” that government attorneys “can’t keep up with it.” He then used the opportunity to tell viewers what he thinks the speech was really about.
“The man who has sworn to faithfully execute the laws and the Constitution of the United States has declared war on both, and declared war on everybody who is standing up for the laws in the Constitution of the United States,” Conway said. “That’s what’s going on here.”
