Donald Trump Slams Mitt Romney As A ‘Small Business Guy’ Who ‘Got Rid Of Jobs’
Possible presidential candidate Donald Trump has spent much of his burgeoning campaign taking swipes at President Obama, but in the second part of his interview with State of the Union‘s Candy Crowley, Trump made Mitt Romney the target of some (not so) friendly fire. He called Romney a “small business guy” who “got rid of jobs,” and boasted about his own net worth, compared to Romney’s.
Much of the appeal of recently-declared candidate Romney rests on his business bona fides, and Trump’s shots at Romney aren’t likely to change that (or to hurt Romney nearly as much as his own health care plan), but it does illustrate yet another downside of the Trump candidacy for the GOP. Trump’s Birther drumbeat undermines the party with general election voters, his possible independent run could torpedo the eventual GOP nominee, and now, his loose-cannon attacks on fellow candidates could make life very difficult for others who may soon join the race.
Maybe Tim Pawlenty is wise to try and stay on Trump’s good side.
Here’s the clip, from CNN:
