Trump unloads on Mitt Romney and his latest book

Mitt Romney, a total loser that only a mother could love, just wrote a book which is, much like him, boring, horrible, and totally predictable. I am very proud to be the one who forced this Left Leaning RINO out of politics. He wanted to run sooo badly, but knew he couldn’t win in the great State of Utah without my Endorsement and Support, so he QUIT. His crummy book says nothing good about anybody, other than RINO Paul RINO, who may be worse, and even dumber, than Mitt himself. Does he mention his late night dinner with me at Trump International Hotel when he begged to be Secretary of State, then giving GLOWING COMMENTS about DJT at a follow up News Conference? I didn’t give him the job, NOR DID I EVER INTEND TO. I JUST WANTED TO PROVE A POINT, THAT MITT ROMNEY IS, & ALWAYS HAS BEEN, A LIGHTWEIGHT JOKE!

When MR goes no for his entire term about the jerk DT is, and then never explicitly tells us why, it leads me to believe he had a personal problem with him. IMO he owed it to his constituents and the whole state of Utah to tell us what the contention he kept fueling over DT was all about, but he never gives a full explanation. So I know in his book ( which I have no interest in reading )he says DT is stupid or something, but that just isn't specific enough, smacks of a personal insult, and one could argue that MR wasn't exactly the smart guy all the time, either.

DT is an old school New Yorker, who exudes the culture of the dutch who originally settled Manhatten. To anyone outside this "culture" the old school New Yorkers seem rude, impolite, overly direct, impatient, blunt to the point of absolute brutality and just plain not given to care about "feelings". They like honesty and don't respect @#$ kissers. With DT, what you see is what you get, and the guy at home behind the cameras and the guy in front is the same guy. Now whether this is true about MR, who can say?

In light of that, I would believe that if DT says MR is "a total loser that only a mother could love " and that is book is "much like him, boring, horrible and totally predictable", he is not trying to be insulting just to get even, but is telling the facts as he sees them. What he says, he means, and appreciates the other person who also says what he means and means what he says. If DT says MR groveled for the Secretary of State job, I would believe that at least from the point of view of DT, he was telling it like it was. And this type of blunt to the point stuff just might just turn MR off to the point where he accuses DT of having no character, etc ( again, without telling us exactly what he is referring to. )

One of the things people like about DT, the jerk, is his propensity to tell it like he sees it. This is one of his traits that attracted me to his candidacy.

I’ve mentioned the following anecdote before on this forum. Corroborating what you say about his “old school dutch culture, about in the middle of DT’’s term, I was having some cement work done using a pump truck and would help the guy manning the pump and hose from time-to-time. We got talking about DT and some of the things he was doing, and he emphatically said something like: “I cant’ stand Donald Trump!” I asked him why, and he said he was from up-state NY and people from that region generally are very put off by the abrupt, insulting NYC demeanor. But then he said: “But, I like what Trump is doing” (maybe just to get on my good side).

Scott Adams, a genius in reading people IMO, a Democrat, very much didn’t like Trump along with the rest of his tribe, but after really observing him for a while, saw that Trump was using a definite behavioral methodology in how he said/presented different things . . . . which greatly impressed Adams when he finally understood it.

Regarding Mitt, he was wrong about DT out-of-the-blocks with his Hinckley Institute talk, March-April 2016, which was full of personal insults toward the man, and in which he predicted dire consequences if DT was elected, none of which came true. I used to hero worship Daniel Peterson (to some degree), until he commented on his blog, about how brilliant Mitt’s talk was. Peterson also revealed he had voted for Evan McMullin, which further knocked DP off his pedestal for me.

Yeah I would occasionally enjoy listening to Dan Peterson. He was interesting, had a sense of humor, and good presentation. Whenever he got political on anything I would have a lot of issues with his analysis. He would justify pro establishment policies such as bringing in refugees as something that could turn into something good and even help fulfill prophecy. I couldn’t wrap my head around it. And his support for Mitt Romney showed he hadn’t done his homework.

About a year and a half before Mitt ran for Senator Orrin Hatch's seat he said the only reason he would get into the Senate would be to oppose Trump. Which is exactly what he did at every moment while in office. Mitt was so sincere in his opposition to Trump that he never bothered to have an office here in Utah, just in DC. He had absolutely no regard for the people of Utah and duped Utah citizens into electing a Democrat Senator. (which no one wanted)

He is a good soldier in taking orders from the Deep State, and sooner or later will be caught and exposed, tried and convicted.

It was revealed today that Elder Ballard asked Mitt to run an "Anti-Defamation League" like organization on behalf of the Church.

Imagine a world wherein GWB and Cheney regularly give sermons on the importance of diplomacy, decency, law and order and democratic values (whatever that means).

It’s a brazen world of inverse accountability, upside down morals and histories that are rewritten in near real time to suit political expedience.

This is the world created by the Mitt Romneys.

Romney voted to convict Trump for merely mentioning an investigation that concerned the corruption of a political rival. Turns out Biden committed the crime referenced in the phone call and in true Biden fashion bragged about it in public while being recorded “fire the prosecutor or you ain’t gettin the money..”

It’s now been revealed that Romney wasn’t even aware of Burisma when he voted to impeach Trump.

How is that possible? How is this not reckless disregard for the truth and dereliction of office?

Romney’s self righteousness and deluded moral vanity are disgusting.

Thank you for validating me. I also prefer a non political sounding straight shooter from the hip type of guy over the people pleasing fair promising politician. A smooth talker can be hiding a diabolical character.

FDR was probably the most popular President in US history with an equally admired wife. He was suave, persuasive, confident, and presented himself with an image that caused the nation to "believe" in him, and what with the wide appeal of his "fireside chats" he was seen as warm and personable. He was a great communicator and had good all around people skills. He even received hordes of fan mail. I imagine a lot of women liked him.

But did all that make him a good President?

My MP, who was a lawyer, and very active in politics, lived and worked a big shot job in Washington DC, and became part of the Washington social scene. He liked showing off his invitation to the Harry S. Truman inauguration and Ball. Anyway, in my MP's memoirs, he states the democratic party, during the end of FDR's third term, knew he was going downhill healthwise , but still had the audacity to run him for a fourth. And shockingly he won. If you think Biden is bad, then you never knew what FDR was like during this time and especially by 1944. Only the closest people to him knew how bad his health, both physically and mentally really was, My MP couldn't be more emphatic in stating that FDR just wasn't there physically and especially mentally AT ALL. At Yalta, in spite of the impressive photoshoots of FDR, Stalin and Churchill together, all was not as it seemed, with Churchill correctly calling FDR a "tragic figure". This left Churchill having to do all the work in "bargaining" with Stalin, and since this exhausted him so, with FDR unable to play ANY role at all, Stalin got a lot more than he should have and Voila we had the wall and the cold war. Yes, the failing health of FDR, with people voting for him just because his likableness won their confidence, caused serious world problems over the next several decades going even to this day.

I haven't listened to that Hinckley Institute talk you mention, but I can imagine it is just as you said. And even after Pres Nelson said for us to all bury our hatchets, apparently MR still thinks whatever he has against DT is just more important than Pres Nelson's council. That alone ought to tell you something. I strongly believe, and I know an Apostle of this same opinion, that if MR had become president, it would have been a disaster for the church!.

I, too, have been disappointed in Daniel Peterson as far as his politics are concerned. When one is learned he is not always wise.

One politician voicing his opinion against another politician.

I do have some empathy for Mitt. From the bit of study I’ve done, I believe his grandfather ran the MK Ultra program early on. It is common that experimentation is done among their own family.

Nothing important in this post...just a rant.

I can't stand Romney. But I also can't stand the author of the new Romney biography, McKay Coppins (who is a Romney sycophant and author for The Atlantic). Coppins is also LDS and a great example of what the Church wants it's members to be now. I know I shouldn't give the guy space in my head but Coppins bugs the crap out of me.

Rant over.

Romney is like a turd in the pool...get as far away from it, as fast as you can.

The Romney's are muti-generational traitors...Pierre's senator daddy, George, torpedoed his own party's nominee (Barry Goldwater) which gave us LBJ...a ground war in Vietnam...and 60,000 dead Americans because of it.

NEVER trust a Romney!!!!!

Peterson would go apoplectic over anyone coming on his blog during DT's term to counter his and his sycophant audience's Trump Derangement Syndrome. When Biden was elected, in DP's very next thread, he said something like: "Wonderful! Now we can expect a return to civility with a Biden Presidency" . . . . after which, he preceded to launch a strongly uncivil personal attack on Trump, oblivious to his inconsistency.

One of Peterson's stated heroes is William Kristol (I've seen him state this 2-3 times). Kristol was instrumental in talking Evan McMullin into running as an obvious Trump spoiler who would effectively increase Hillary's total proportion of Democrat to Republican votes in the 2016 election, due to Republicans switching to the independent, McMullin. Deseret News pushed McMullin hard.

About 8-10 months before the 2020 election, Dan's hero William (a principal in the NeoConservative coalition) switched to the Democrat Party and was on record as having voted for Biden.

Re: Trump unloads on Mitt Romney and his latest book

The real revelations here are that Trump reads books and Romney writes them.
