Trump will try to do something bad to Romney or his family and get caught. It might even lead to another article of impeachment. This would fit right into his pattern. He does something unacceptable and gets admonished for it, then he sees himself as the victim which in his mind, makes it ok to do something else unacceptable. And so it goes on, victimhood to bad behavior.

(11,885 posts)He'll do something that'll hurt his state, or try to claim he has dirt on Romney using false claims, or something some way he'll abuse his power again to hurt him , and make an example of him to scare others with, and prevent more from doing the same thing by way of threats and intimidation. Romney should use his money and get dirt on trump to use against him, and that's something that does stop him , as putin , and kim , and erdogan already know.

Trump is probably thinking he's Michael Corleone right now, ready to settle old scores in one fell swoop, displaying the power of his retribution should anyone else choose to defy him.
It's almost inevitable at this point. The Republican senators just handed him unlimited power - and there's no way he can resist using it in some spectacular showbiz way.
And yes, he will be caught red-handed. And the GOP will own it.

(722 posts)They just lack the spine to do anything about it themselves because they're cowards. I don't think it is any more complicated than that.
Imagine how bad of shape we'd all be in right now if Trump was intelligent, or worse, competent.

(30,745 posts)He is positioning himself to run for President again. After trump, they will have slim pickings for candidates.
I don't think there is much he can do to Rmoney. The guy seems to be clean.
Does anyone here know anything scandalous about Rmoney? I can't recall anything major, just the dog and the car elevator.

(15,238 posts)They are corporate raiders of the most disgusting variety. Romney is central to that enterprise. He seems to have experienced a moment of conscience or the corporate raider in him sees an opportunity to cash in on another acquisition that is about to fall on hard times. Trump and Trumpism will eventually be replaced by something. I am sure there will be a Romney available to cash in.

(35,684 posts)There is no doubt in my mind that he is sincere about having to do what is right. If not then he deserves the Oscar.
However, I am also certain that he is aware of how succinctly this positions him as a person of principle. Even if its only one principle. Principle is in such short supply among Republicans that when they eventually need such a person, they will have only one person to go to.
Romney is the future of republicanism.

(10,252 posts)there's not much Trump can do. Mormons don't lose love for Trump, a divorced man and sex abuser. Romney the Mormon is a favorite son of Utah.

(7,341 posts)Why is why the curmudgeon old white men and Karens worship him. Even though he ALWAYS gets his way with zero accountability, he still acts like a victim and throws endless Twitter tantrums. A sad pathetic little boy.

(844 posts)He will do something outrageous trying to get revenge with help of some incompetent cronies get caught, play the victim.
Then say the dems are making stuff up because they did not get him last time as a defense his base will lap it up no matter the evidence.
