Trump and Romney's rocky relationship history, from endorsements to scathing insults

The days when President Trump sang Mitt Romney's praises are long gone, as the pair — who previously appeared to support each other's political values — have recently turned on one another by publicly exchanging insults and blasting each other's campaigns.

Romney kicked off 2019 by publishing a scathing op-ed in The Washington Post criticizing Trump's character and declaring he has "not risen to the mantle of the office."

"Policies and appointments are only a part of a presidency. A president must also unite us, inspire us, and defend our vital institutions," Romney tweeted on Jan. 1, along with a link to the article. In the piece, he critiqued the recent flurry of departures from the White House, most recently Defense Secretary James Mattis.

Naturally, the criticism sparked a quick response from the president who questioned whether the Utah senator-elect will be a "Flake" as he enters Congress.

"I hope not. Would much prefer that Mitt focus on Border Security and so many other things where he can be helpful. I won big, and he didn’t. He should be happy for all Republicans. Be a TEAM player & WIN!" Trump tweeted on Jan. 2.

Again, Mitt is as corrupt or more corrupt than trump. He is a polished crook that runs with even more polished crooks and America is their mark.
