Trump to Romney after op-ed: 'Be a team player & win'

[demmiblue]

President Trump struck back at incoming Utah Sen.-elect Mitt Romney (R) on Wednesday after Romney challenged the president's character in an op-ed, suggesting that Romney should be more supportive of his party.

In a tweet, the president called on the incoming senator to "focus on Border Security and so many other things where he can be helpful," while questioning whether he would serve a role as frequent critic similar to former Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), who did not run for reelection last year.

"Here we go with Mitt Romney, but so fast! Question will be, is he a Flake? I hope not," Trump wrote Wednesday morning.

"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!" he added.

1. "But so fast?"

WTF? Does he mean "not so fast"?

[LakeSuperiorView]

3. Who knows? HAL started singing "Daisy" as it faded. Citizen Kane said Rosebud.

I expect Dumbshit to do a lot of rambling in the coming years.

8. I have no doubt

Trump will be whispering "No collusion" on his freaking deathbed

[LakeSuperiorView]

11. Either that or switchblade... switchblade... switch....

I do like "No Collusion" as an incoherent death babble, but it is so recent that everyone will know it as an incoherent babble, it already is. For there to be something of a mystery, a thing from his youth that he longs for, like his mother's hair - "Beeeeehive......"

5. He is surprised that Romney is so fast to attack him?

[Docreed2003]

7. If you take it as he wrote it, yes I suppose you're correct

It's just yet another weird choice of phrasing from the Idiot in Chief.

[Polybius]

18. He's saying that Romney attacked him even before he was sworn in

I guess he expected it, but didn't think it would be this soon.

[Docreed2003]

19. I mean, I get that was his intention

It's just a weird ass way of voicing that disdain for Romney!

[Cary]

2. We shall see

[hedda_foil]

4. I won big and he didn't????

Earth to asshole ...

[Fuzzpope]

6. Fear.

I smells it on El Dump0, presciousssss

[duforsure]

9. He should answer back

He will pass on being on a Russian team with putin,, and unlike him he respects the rule of law and the truth.

13. LOL. You are talking about Mitt Romney, right?

That dude would sell his own wives for a buck. He's no better than Trump; he just has a shinier bullshit veneer.

[Auggie]

10. That op-ed makes it sound like Romney will run again

[nycbos]

12. Mitt will still vote with him 95% of the time.

Just like Flake.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

14. Trump LOST bigly, by 3 million votes. He lost the midterms even more bigly. He lost his wall vote.nt

[Buckeyeblue]

15. Mitt will do what he has to to keep his name in the news

But will cave most of the time. Besides, the House gives him cover when he doesn't cave because nothing 45 wants is going through.

16. I doubt Romney is shaking in his boots.

He's secure being elected by his state, and richer than Trump. Humorous to say "Follow me and WIN!" Romney didn't win the Republican nomination, but he has "won" almost all his life.

Someone posted, though, that they thought Romney had traded loyalty for a favor from Trump, as Prez. I wonder. I cant' recall the details.

[dalton99a]

17. No worries. Mitt is really a team player

[Docreed2003]

20. Hahahahahahahaha

Had forgotten that gem!!

[Dave Starsky]

23. This is fake. As much as I hate that bastard on a cellular level..

I have to call it as it is. Sorry.

24. Shhhhhh..... let's just keep that a secret between friends

Besides, it so perfectly describes Mittens.

[Marcuse]

21. Let's him and you fight!

22. You won "bigly"....?

You won "bigly, eh?

In 2012 Obama got 51.1% of the popular vote.
In 2016 Hillary Clinton got 48.2% of the popular vote.
In 2012 Mitt Romney got 47.2% of the popular vote.
In 2016, YOU, you cretinous liar, got 46.1% of the popular vote.
In a field of four - you finished fourth!

Even Mitt Romney got a LARGER percentage of the popular vote than YOU did!
And yet you claim, "I won big, and he didn't."
So congratulations on getting FEWER votes than any candidate since 2012.

Oh, and eff off.
