Trump Goes Ballistic At Mitt Romney, Calls Him 'A Pompous Ass'

By Ed Scarce — October 5, 2019

Yesterday, Mitt Romney tweeted a mild rebuke to the Orange Shitgibbon, calling Trump's appeal to China and Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden "appalling" and "wrong". Naturally, Trump could not contain himself, and issued a few tweets, one of which called Romney a "pompous ass".

How presidential.

President Trump lashed out at Sen. Mitt Romney (Utah) on Saturday and called him a "pompous ass" after the Republican senator criticized Trump over his dealings with Ukraine.

"Somebody please wake up Mitt Romney and tell him that my conversation with the Ukrainian President was a congenial and very appropriate one," Trump asserted in a tweet.

Trump maintained that his public call this week for China to also investigate former Vice President Joe Biden "pertained to corruption, not politics."

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. If Mitt worked this hard on Obama, he could have won. Sadly, he choked!

Mitt Romney never knew how to win. He is a pompous “ass” 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!

And here are Romney's tweets yesterday that got Trump's knickers in such a knot this morning.

When the only American citizen President Trump singles out for China’s investigation is his political opponent in the midst of the Democratic nomination process, it strains credulity to suggest that it is anything other than politically motivated.

By all appearances, the President’s brazen and unprecedented appeal to China and to Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden is wrong and appalling.

Former chief strategist for the Obama campaigns, David Axelrod, put it succinctly:

This is such a telling Tweet. Romney “never knew how to win.” Meaning, he didn’t enlist other countries to subvert our election on his behalf.@realDonaldTrump absolutely believes that anyone who fails to do ANYTHING to get what they want is a sucker. https://t.co/Cz1p8y8lqQ
