They talked for more than two hours, they laughed, they munched on carefully prepared frog legs, and afterward, Mitt Romney, once one of Donald Trump's harshest critics, emerged a changed man.
"I had a wonderful evening with President-elect Trump," the former Massachusetts governor declared to the press after a final course of chocolate cake. "We had another discussion about affairs throughout the world, and these discussions I've had with him have been enlightening, and interesting and engaging."
"What I've seen through these discussions I've had with President-elect Trump, as well as what we've seen in his speech the night of his victory, as well as the people he's selected as part of his transition, all of those things combined give me increasing hope that President-elect Trump is the very man who can lead us to that better future," he added.
It was almost as if Romney had not been one of Trump's leading detractors, calling him a "con man," a "fake" and a "phony" who was unprepared for the presidency.

(108 posts)Why would Romney even want or need a role in the new dictatorship? Seriously? If he was so against Trump why play now? He is wealthy. He doesn't need the job. He won't ever get elected. He's been there done that. Let it go man.

(1,128 posts)I am of two different opinions on this:
1) He thinks he'll be a viable candidate whenever if he serves as Secretary of State
2) He actually cares about the US and it's international reputation and thinks he can somewhat counter balance Trump by being SoS
or the more likely one:
3) He's just power hungry
