Mitt Romney blasted Donald Trump’s business record, temperament and foreign-policy ideas in a blistering speech on Thursday designed to rally opposition to the Republican presidential front-runner. Romney, the GOP’s 2012 nominee, lit into Trump over his economic ideas, saying they would cause a “prolonged recession” for the U.S. economy. Among Trump’s other ideas, Romney hit his plans to impose tariffs on goods made overseas by U.S. companies that are then imported into the U.S. Much of Romney’s attack focused on Trump’s policies, including foreign policy. Trump has repeatedly called for building a wall along the Mexican border with the U.S. and having Mexico pay for it. Romney called Trump’s foreign policy “very, very not smart.” (Romney came in for some mocking for his word usage on that line.) But Romney didn’t shy away from getting personal about Trump, in what was a departure from the 2012 nominee’s typically mild manner. He said Trump lacked the integrity to be president and that “dishonesty” is Trump’s hallmark. He even bashed Trump for misogyny and “absurd third-grade theatrics.” Trump has taken heat during the campaign for feuding with Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly. He re-tweeted a message calling her a “bimbo” and said after the first Republican debate in August: “You know, you could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever,” Trump said. Romney also took direct aim at Trump’s business record, saying “a business genius he is not.” He referenced both Trump University and Trump Mortgage. Trump University is now defunct and facing a class-action lawsuit, and Trump Mortgage closed after a year in business. Trump and the other Republican presidential hopefuls will debate Thursday night in Detroit. Fox’s Kelly will be among the moderators.
