SALT LAKE CITY, Utah — President Donald J. Trump tweeted in response to statements made by Utah Senator Mitt Romney, calling him “pompous” and “a fool.”
The president ended his Saturday afternoon tweet with the hashtag, “#IMPEACHMITTROMNEY.”
Romney tweeted Friday to express his concern over what he called a “brazen and unprecedented appeal” from President Trump to China and the Ukraine regarding presidential candidate Joe Biden.
When the only American citizen President Trump singles out for China’s investigation is his political opponent in the midst of the Democratic nomination process, it strains credulity to suggest that it is anything other than politically motivated.

By all appearances, the President’s brazen and unprecedented appeal to China and to Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden is wrong and appalling.

Less than 24 hours later, President Trump also took to Twitter to respond to Romney’s statements, calling Utah’s junior senator “pompous”.
I’m hearing that the Great People of Utah are considering their vote for their Pompous Senator, Mitt Romney, to be a big mistake. I agree! He is a fool who is playing right into the hands of the Do Nothing Democrats! #IMPEACHMITTROMNEY
