Trump: Mitt Romney Is A Pompous Ass!

Trump calls Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) an ass.
An ass calling another one an ass. Ironic.

Donald J. Trump was always an ass. At least, Mitt Romney has more class than our current occupier of the White House.

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) is a vote for Trump. However, he is a harsh critic of Trump. He supports Trump about 94% of the time. That 6% of the time is criticism of his handling of a controversy that could have him impeached.

As many of you know, Trump is facing an impeachment inquiry involving him asking Ukraine to dig up dirt on Democratic candidate Joe Biden. His blatant admission of asking for foreign help in the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election has many within the Republican Party nervous.

They want to defend him. How can you defend the indefensible?

Enter Romney.




Most Republicans, who are currently scattered across the country for a two-week recess, have remained silent on Trump publicly suggesting that foreign governments investigate a potential 2020 rival.

But Romney is part of a small group of Republicans who have spoken out this week, though none have backed the impeachment inquiry against Trump.

Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE), in a statement on Thursday night, said "Americans don’t look to Chinese commies for the truth," while also knocking House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) for running a "partisan clown show in the House."

Retiring Rep. Will Hurd (R-TX) told CNN's "New Day" that he thought Trump's comments were "terrible."

Romney's comments on Trump asking for the Chinese government to investigate the Bidens come as he also voiced concerns about the phone call where Trump asked the Ukrainian government to help his personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, look into the issue. There's been no evidence of wrongdoing by Biden.

"I did read the transcript. It remains troubling in the extreme. It's deeply troubling," Romney told reporters last week. "Clearly what we've seen from the transcript itself is deeply troubling."

Romney became one of the first GOP senators to raise concerns about the phone call. The public questioning earned him mockery from the president, who tweeted out a video comparing Romney's failed 2012 presidential bid with his own victory four years later.

Enter Trump.




Trump today launched an attack on Romney by calling the senator a "pompous ass" and acknowledged his failure to defeat his 2012 rival, Barack Obama. He also hinted the fact that Romney is a carpetbagger.

Trump and Romney have feuded with regularity in recent years, with Trump regularly referring to Romney's 2012 defeat to President Barack Obama. Romney, earlier this year, penned an op-ed in which he attacked Trump’s conduct and said, "he has not risen to the mantle of the office."
