President Donald Trump has fired back at Senator Mitt Romney, after the Republican senator broke ranks to harshly criticize Trump over his requests that foreign governments investigate political rival Joe Biden.
‘Somebody please wake up Mitt Romney and tell him that my conversation with the Ukrainian President was a congenial and very appropriate one, and my statement on China pertained to corruption, not politics,’ Trump wrote on Saturday morning, as his motorcade traveled from the White House to Trump National Golf Course in Sterling, Virginia.
‘If Mitt worked this hard on Obama, he could have won. Sadly, he choked!’ Trump wrote.
‘Mitt Romney never knew how to win. He is a pompous “a**” who has been fighting me from the beginning, except when he begged me for my endorsement for his Senate run (I gave it to him), and when he begged me to be Secretary of State (I didn’t give it to him). He is so bad for R’s!’ Trump continued.
