WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald J. Trump said on Wednesday that Mitt Romney, the 2012 Republican presidential nominee, was still in the running to become his secretary of state despite their bitter differences during the campaign, as he narrowed his choices and planned an announcement next week for the crucial post.

“We had some tremendous difficulty together, and now I think we’ve come a long way,” Mr. Trump said of Mr. Romney in a telephone interview on NBC’s “Today” show, where it was announced that Time magazine had named the president-elect its “Person of the Year.”

Mr. Trump said the drawn-out selection process and highly publicized flirtation with Mr. Romney was not intended to torment a campaign nemesis but rather to find the right person to serve as the nation’s chief diplomat.

“It’s not about revenge, it’s about what’s good for the country, and I’m able to put this stuff behind us,” Mr. Trump said.

Nearly a month after his stunning election upset ended a bitterly divisive presidential race, Mr. Trump flatly refused any responsibility for the rifts, saying, “I’m not president yet, so I didn’t do anything to divide.”

Right, it wasn't about revenge, it was about humiliation.

2. DT is also vindictive. I believe he is motivated by revenge.

3. Ahhh...Bullshit...Choo.

He does what he's always done. It's petty bullying - getting back at someone who insulted him. He just showed Romney "who was boss" and put him in his place.

4. Yep. Even took a picture of him eating his

elitist food. Definitely humiliated him...if Mittens were capable of being humiliated.

5. Nothing he says about anything means anything.. mostly...

especially when he uses 'tremendous' ..

I take that back.. except when he says he will destroy something..

6. He lies so much that you can assume that he means

the opposite of what he says.
