The Hill: Romney: 'You can't complain' if Trump does what he says he would do
The Hill - Romney: ‘You can’t complain’ if Trump does what he says he would do
by Lauren Irwin - 12/15/24 9:52 AM ET
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) argued that the American public “can’t complain” if President-elect Trump does what he said he would do during the campaign.
“Donald Trump won. He won overwhelmingly. He said what he was going to do, and that’s what he’s doing,” Romney said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “I mean, people are saying ‘Oh, I don’t like this appointment or this policy that he’s talking about,’ but those are the things he said he was going to do when he ran.”
“So, you can’t complain about someone who does what he said he was going to do.”
Romney, who has served in the Senate since 2019, joined the network for his Congressional exit interview. The Utah lawmaker, who is 77, announced last year that he would retire from the Senate, opening the door for a new generation to serve.
He’s been a critic of Trump’s but acknowledged in the interview Sunday that he agrees with the president-elect on “a lot” of policy fronts. Romney said he didn’t support Trump in his two most recent elections over an issue of character disagreements.
“I disagree with him on some things, but it’s like, okay, give him a chance to do what he says he’s going to do and see how it works out,” he said.

An undated portrait of a struggling American family in touch with the masses.
Mitch is just another silver spoon in the mouth Bush or Trump-- starting off at the top and staying at the top-- all the while avoiding combat, danger, or war. At least George H.W. Bush fought in WWII.
Below is Mitch at Bain Capital. His greedy corporate raiding shut down US companies and factories, putting thousands of Americans out of work. Enjoying your pelf, Mitch?
Were he alive, the Bard of Avon would excoriate him thus:
"Begone, thou abominable puke-stockinged bag of guts!"
