Trump Engages Vocal Republican Critic Mitt Romney in Twitter Battle, Calling Him an “Ass”
In recent days, former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has viciously attacked President Trump. Romney takes issue with President Trump calling for China and the Ukraine to investigate shady business dealings by Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden.
On Friday, Romney tweeted about President Trump calling for foreign countries to investigate the Biden’s. He said that believing that the asks were “anything other than politically motivated”, “strains credulity”.
By all appearances, the President’s brazen and unprecedented appeal to China and to Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden is wrong and appalling.

Saturday morning President Trump took to twitter to defend himself and attack Mitt Romney in the strongest possible terms. In two tweets the President asked if “someone would please wake Mitt Romney up”, said “he choked” in his campaign versus President Obama, and called him a “pompous ‘ass’” among other things.
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!

This feud has been going on pretty much since President Trump was running for the Republican nomination. The ball is now in Mitt Romney’s court and it remains to be seen whether he will walk away from this now that President Trump has taken him to task or if he will escalate the situation.
