George Conway on Trump's Reality Bubble Destroying Him - Fast Politics w/ Molly Jong-Fast
George Conway and Molly Jong-Fast trade jokes before diving into a wide-ranging political discussion that contrasts Donald Trump’s combative posture with the Pope’s call for peace, with Conway arguing that Trump’s worldview and behavior are fundamentally at odds with Christian values and basic moral rules.
They pivot to foreign policy and diplomacy, criticizing the administration’s lack of leverage with Iran after prior decisions undermined negotiated constraints, and portraying J.D. Vance as a convenient fall guy for talks set up to fail while noting the odd sidelining of the Secretary of State.
The discussion then turns to U.S. electoral politics, where Conway predicts accelerating Republican party fractures, falling support for Trump, and a potential “blue tsunami,” attributing the shift to growing inability—among voters and right-wing influencers alike—to rationalize what he calls increasingly extreme actions.
Conway closes by urging sustained civic engagement, warning of greater danger as Trump becomes more desperate, but expressing optimism that political conditions could eventually lead to Trump’s removal and a long, difficult national recovery. - 04/14/2026.
