Trump lashes out at Romney

President Donald Trump on Saturday ridiculed Sen. Mitt Romney for his loss to former President Barack Obama in 2012 — one day after Romney said he was “sickened” by Trump’s actions as detailed in special counsel Robert Mueller’s report.

“If @MittRomney spent the same energy fighting Barack Obama as he does fighting Donald Trump, he could have won the race (maybe)!” Trump tweeted.

Attached to the president’s post was a 40-second video contrasting election night footage and CNN news coverage from Romney’s White House loss 6½ years ago to Obama with Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton in 2016. It was unclear whether the White House produced the brief clip, or if it was crafted by one of the president’s supporters.

The Utahan is one of the few Republican senators who have expressed disappointment in the president after the release of a redacted version of Mueller’s report by Attorney General William Barr on Thursday.

Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) told a radio station that the special counsel’s findings offered “an unflattering portrayal of the president," and Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) said in a statement that the 448-page report “documents a number of actions taken by the president or his associates that were inappropriate.”
