Mitt Romney: Donald Trump Is A ‘phony, A Fraud’

Former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney thinks “Donald Trump is a phony, a fraud” and that he’s “playing the American public for suckers,” according to prepared remarks provided by Romney to CNN.

“His promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University,” Romney will say of Trump. “He’s playing the American public for suckers: He gets a free ride to the White House and all we get is a lousy hat.”

Romney, the party’s nominee in 2012, will urge Americans “to make the right choices” and not support the GOP front-runner during a speech he’ll give Thursday at 11:30 a.m. ET at the University of Utah’s Hinckley Institute of Politics Forum.
