SENATE/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “As a private citizen in 2016 Mitt Romney delivered a scathing rebuke of Donald Trump. But as a Senate candidate in 2018 the former Republican presidential nominee says he’s focused on looking ‘forward.’ Romney told audience members Thursday [4-5-18] at a community theater in Utah, where he is vying to replace retiring Sen. Orrin Hatch, that he will not ‘look backward’ at his past criticisms of the president…The Republican politician also expressed muted support for Trump’s offensive economic maneuvers against China, which have sparked unrest among global markets after the president directed U.S. officials to consider substantial tariffs on Chinese imports.”
