Republicans are pleading with President Donald Trump to dip into the roughly $400 million held by his MAGA.inc PAC to help them weather bruising midterm contests, but Trump shows no sign of urgency about opening the spigot. The stakes are considerable: the party defending its congressional majorities in the midterms traditionally depends heavily on the sitting president's fundraising apparatus, and GOP candidates have grown increasingly vocal about fundraising gaps in competitive races. Conservative attorney and longtime Trump critic George Conway argues that Trump's mental condition, combined with his greed, makes it impossible for him to spend that money on his own party. Conway, once a prominent Republican lawyer who became one of Trump's most vocal conservative critics during his first term, has repeatedly questioned the president's psychological fitness in media appearances.

"This is pure Donald Trump," Conway told the MSNBC "The Weekend" panel on Saturday morning. "... Trump is the most narcissistic human being we have ever seen in American politics. Full stop. But on the upswing, that helped him because we had a society that is itself narcissistic and was sick of hearing, 'oh, we have to help these people,' 'we have to help those people,' and 'we have to help everyone.' It was kind of like the Janis Joplin song, 'lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?'"

The problem, Conway said, is that Trump's narcissism ultimately works against the party he nominally leads.

"Trump does not give a (expletive) about anyone other than himself," Conway continued. "He doesn't care about the Republican Party, certainly doesn't care about those senators on the hill over there he demolished. He doesn't care about people paying more at the gas pumps. He does not care about anybody. And the other thing is because he is the most extreme kind of narcissist that psychologists have ever found — the malignant narcissist, the sociopath and narcissist, combined — he becomes more and more delusional over time because they create their own little world."

Conway said Trump is surrounded by people who envelop him in a cozy shroud of flattering lies, aided by "human printers" who churn out material telling him how great he is, which only deepens his delusions.

"Like that Mission Accomplished 2026 meme [Trump posted] the other day. Okay, he is delusional. He is actually psychotic, which is a bad thing for a guy with the second largest arsenal of nuclear weapons on the planet. He's gone off the deep end," said Conway. "... He's the pied piper. Yes, the GOP sees the reckoning, but they're stuck."

For that reason, Conway predicted Trump will happily spend the bulk of his PAC money on himself and his own personal ends. As a super PAC, MAGA.inc operates under federal rules that bar coordination with campaigns but place no limits on contributions, and it can spend its funds on a wide range of purposes so long as they are not coordinated with candidates — leaving Trump with broad discretion over how the war chest is deployed.

"He will spend that money on himself precisely because who is going to tell Donald Trump 'you're very unpopular. So why don't you stay home and we spend money on something else?' That kind of person does not last very long," Conway said. "In fact, there was a story in I think it was Axios, where [Sen.] Ted Cruz [R-Texas] went to the president and said, 'hey, you know, we're headed for a disaster here.' And, and Donald Trump's response to him was literally, I'm not going to use this word: F-U."
