Trump repeated this theme later during a cabinet meeting, saying he wished Romney could be more of a "team player." He added: "I don't think there's an appetite for a Romney run (for president) in the Republican Party." Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel also criticized Romney, saying on Twitter his essay was an attack on Trump that was "disappointing and unproductive." Representatives for Romney could not be immediately reached for comment on the tweets and remarks by Trump, Paul and McDaniel. Romney and Trump traded barbs during the 2016 campaign, with Romney calling Trump a "fraud" and Trump slamming Romney's 2012 loss.
