Whether it's his questionable rhetoric and social media habits, the ongoing Russian scandal, the in-fighting with his own Republican Party, or battles with Democrats, the billionaire real estate mogul can't seem to shake off what is taking place in Washington. On Monday, Trump is set to make an appearance art the General Assembly, with all eyes will be glued wondering what the United States president might say. Elaborating on the issue was Kellyanne Conway during a September 17 interview on Fox News.
