Trump to Romney after op-ed: 'Be a team player & win' [View all]

Source: The Hill

President Trump struck back at incoming Utah Sen.-elect Mitt Romney (R) on Wednesday after Romney challenged the president's character in an op-ed, suggesting that Romney should be more supportive of his party.

In a tweet, the president called on the incoming senator to "focus on Border Security and so many other things where he can be helpful," while questioning whether he would serve a role as frequent critic similar to former Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), who did not run for reelection last year.

"Here we go with Mitt Romney, but so fast! Question will be, is he a Flake? I hope not," Trump wrote Wednesday morning.

"Would much prefer that Mitt focus on Border Security and so many other things where he can be helpful. I won big, and he didn’t. He should be happy for all Republicans. Be a TEAM player & WIN!" he added.
