George Conway Slams Trump’s 'Narcissistic Needs' After His DMZ Meeting With Kim Jong Un

George Conway slammed President Trump on Sunday.

George Conway, White House counselor Kellyanne Conway's husband and a frequent critic of President Trump, suggested Trump's DMZ meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un fulfills the U.S. president's "narcissistic needs" at the expense of making progress in denuclearizing the regime. 
"The more hellos, photo ops, beautiful letters, and supplication by Trump that occur without concrete progress toward CVID [complete, verifiable, irreversible denuclearization], the less likely that national policy goal will ever be achieved," George Conway wrote on Twitter. "But Trump's narcissistic needs—via this sort of  TV coverage—will be amply supplied." 
Conway was responding to the Pacific Forum's Senior Fellow for Nuclear Policy, David Santoro, who tweeted a picture of the two leaders standing side by side and commented, "'The United States has accepted North Korea as a nuclear-armed state.' This is the headline." 
Meanwhile, Trump took to Twitter after his meeting with Kim and wrote: "Stood on the soil of North Korea, an important statement for all, and a great honor!"
