Donald Trump gets blasted for calling out Mitt Romney

Meanwhile, social media users slammed Trump after his pointed remark about Romney.

An X user tweeted, “I hope everyone sees thru this by now-he ALWAYS talks sht about people who speak against his crazy. He’s been a name caller since before his 1st campaign. Someone should make a collage of all of the names he’s called his adversaries & groups of people he chooses to profile.”



 

Another X user wrote, “Coming from one of the absolute worst presidents in history, that might actually be high praise. Lol.”



 

“Typical. Any Republican standing against Trump for decency is a mortal enemy. Just like John McCain,” a user remarked.



 

Another one stated, “Of course he does. His cult will believe it but, moderate Republicans, democrats, and independents won't buy the feces he's lobbing.”



 

One user mocked, “If by ‘worst’ he means ‘not a cult member’ he is totally correct.
