Senator-elect Mitt Romney (R-Utah) railed against President Donald Trump’s leadership in a scathing editorial on Tuesday, arguing that the current administration has caused “dismay around the world.”In a piece published in The Washington Post, Romney, a former Republican presidential candidate, wrote that he felt compelled to comment on the president’s behavior after the departure of several cabinet members and what he called the “abandonment of allies who fight beside us.”“It is well known that Donald Trump was not my choice for the Republican presidential nomination. After he became the nominee, I hoped his campaign would refrain from resentment and name-calling. It did not,” Romney wrote. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis resigned last month in protest of Trump’s decision to withdraw American troops from Syria and issued a stinging reproach of the president. And former White House chief of staff John Kelly threw water on Trump’s signature campaign pledge for a wall along the southern border as he was preparing to leave the administration.
