In a New York magazine article published Saturday, Conway said that rather than telling Trump to stop tweeting, she tries to promote positivity.

“I would say, ‘Here are a couple of cool things we should tweet today.’ It’s like saying to someone, ‘How about having two brownies and not six?’" Conway told New York magazine.

Conway said she has tried to appeal to Trump's business sense to get him to shift his campaign — she said she related Trump's need to court women voters with finding new "customers."

In the story, other current and former Trump advisers describe the GOP nominee's hard-to-handle character. As one confidant said: "You have to trick him into doing what you want.”

Interviews paint a picture of Trump as free-wheeling even in the face of campaign crises. When his campaign took a hit for his public feud with the parents of a fallen Muslim U.S. soldier, Trump reportedly didn't know what the term "Gold Star family" meant and viewed the Khans as just another enemy to combat.
