The wives of Donald Trump and George Conway had each other's backs as they waged a war on social media.

In her new book, "Here's the Deal: A Memoir", Trump's former senior counselor Kellyanne Conway described how Trump's wife defended her when he was angry with her.

This guy is nasty. Kellyanne said that Trump told his wife on the phone that he wouldn't stop. She is my top person. She knows a lot. What are we going to do?

Trump, at the time, looked perturbed and was sitting in the White House dining room with his back to the windows and a jar of candy in front of him.

The former first lady said that this was not her fault. She is a big girl. Strong and confident.

She said that we don't control our husbands and you don't control us.

They had to spend even a minute on this and yet felt relieved and protected from what was becoming an armful of harmful.

In her book, she wrote about her frustration with George Conway, a conservative lawyer who was instrumental in the impeachment of President Bill Clinton, and his increasingly hostile views of Trump and his administration.

She accused her husband of infidelity and lamented having to choose between him and another man in her life. She wrote in the book that George and I may not survive.

She said that she could not compete with the tweet. Why would I try? She is not even hot and has no personality. I can't imagine relying on the online world for comfort, friendship or validation.

Trump focused much of her policy efforts on an anti-cyberbullying initiative called Be Best.

Many critics pointed out the odd juxtaposition of the first lady speaking out on the topic while her husband was attacking people on social media.

I am aware that people are skeptical of me discussing this topic, and I know that will continue. It won't stop me from doing what I know is right.
