Conway's advice to White House staff: Don't treat Trump like a peer [View all]

Source: MSN/The Hill

White House senior aide Kellyanne Conway offered advice to her colleagues on Friday following a major staff shakeup: Don't treat President Trump like a peer.

During an appearance on Fox News, Conway recalled a meeting with Trump in August when she was tapped as his campaign manager and told him she'd "never" address him by his first name and said "I don't consider myself your peer."

"The reason I said that is because I do think that it is important to set up that level of deference and humility when you've got someone who's your boss, now the president of the United States, now the chief of staff, a general, a secretary, who is clearly your senior, your superior," she said.

"I think it's very important that people not treat elected officials like the president and the vice president as their peers," she continued, adding that the comment was not about anyone in particular.
