Mitt Romney: Trump’s biggest failure is a lack of character in leading ‘divided’ nation
Incoming Utah senator says president has abandoned allies and failed to lead a ‘divided, resentful and angry’ nation
Mitt Romney, the former Republican presidential candidate and incoming US senator, has sharply criticised Donald Trump both personally and professionally, accusing him of deserting the nation’s allies and lacking the character to lead a “divided” nation.
In a Washington Post essay published on Tuesday evening, Romney said Trump’s presidency “made a deep descent” in December and blamed him for the departures of defence secretary Jim Mattis and White House chief of staff John Kelly.
