Washington – President Donald Trump is responding to blistering criticism from Republican Sen.-elect Mitt Romney. Trump says he would “much prefer that Mitt focus on Border Security and so many other things where he can be helpful.”

Romney, incoming Utah senator and former 2012 GOP presidential candidate, targeted Trump’s policies and character in a column for The Washington Post. Romney wrote that Trump has “not risen to the mantle of the office.”
Trump tweeted Wednesday: “Here we go with Mitt Romney, but so fast! Question will be, is he a Flake? 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!”
The Flake reference was to Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona, a Republican who has been a Trump critic, and who is retiring from the Senate.
Trump is right. Romney, being a Republican should have picked his party’s side than sounding like a Democrate. Who cares how the President behaves? He gets things done and faster than any previous President.
Romney. Blows with the wind. Hypocrite. First he lambasts Trump the presidential candidate who’s headed for a win, then he cozies up to Trump the new President. Now he joins the fringe loony critics again. What a flake. Trump’s right.
I think it is Trump who is not much of a team player; he demands everyone do what he wants or else he boots them out! He might be great for Israel but he lacks quite a bit of what a team player should have….
Isn’t that ironic that a presidential loser is telling a presidential winner what to do?
Doesn’t it concern anyone that Trump always responds to substantive criticism by calling names…shooting the messenger…and not with a substantive defense?
Team player? Trump is a player on Putin’s team.
