Donald Trump has offered a back-handed compliment to
Utah senator Mitt Romney after he became the first
Republican senator to join a George Floyd protest march over the weekend, gloating that the ex-presidential candidate’s poll numbers are “tanking” in his state.The president’s anger follows Romney, 43rd president George W Bush and ex-US
Secretary of State Colin Powell all saying they will not vote for him in November, prompting Trump to attack Powell as “pathetic”, “highly overrated” and “a real stiff” and to criticise his record on the
Iraq War.
