Mitt Romney's Complex Relationship with Trump
A Mormon's Perspective
Romney's Opposition to Trump
As Utah's junior senator, Mitt Romney's steadfast opposition to former President Trump has been well-documented. Despite their shared Republican affiliation, Romney has consistently criticized Trump's policies and rhetoric. In fact, he was the only Republican senator to vote to convict Trump in both impeachment trials.
The "Flippin' Mormon"
Romney's opposition to Trump has earned him the label "flippin' Mormon" from the former president. In an interview with Fox News, Trump dismissed Romney's criticisms as "the ravings of a flippin' Mormon." Romney responded to this attack with a tongue-in-cheek tweet, saying, "I'm sorry I've disappointed the 'flippin' Mormon' commentariat."
Romney's Presidential Ambitions
Despite his opposition to Trump, Romney has not ruled out running for president again. In a recent speech, he said that he is "not opposed to running" for president in 2024. However, he also admitted that he is "not actively planning" a run.
Romney's Legacy
Mitt Romney's legacy is still being written. However, it is clear that he is a complex and controversial figure. His opposition to Trump has made him a hero to some, while others have criticized him for being a "never-Trumper." Only time will tell how history will judge Romney's presidency and his relationship with Trump.
