'He knows nothing about me': Trump lashes out at Mitt Romney over border comment

Donald Trump on Thursday lashed out against departing lawmaker Mitt Romney, saying the former GOP presidential nominee knows "nothing about" the former president.

Trump was apparently responding to Romney, who recently slammed the ex-president for purportedly sabotaging a border deal in order to hurt Joe Biden's reelection bid. Trump took to his own social media network, Truth Social, to craft a reply.

"In response to the Statement made by Pierre Delecto, I haven’t spoken to him (Mitt Romney!) in years, and he knows nothing about me, or my views," Trump said, referencing a pseudonym Romney used in the past. "Fortunately, he will permanently be leaving the Senate soon, and our Country will be a better place for it."

He continued:

"But, that being said, we need a Strong, Powerful, and essentially 'PERFECT' Border and, unless we get that, we are better off not making a Deal, even if that pushes our Country to temporarily 'close up' for a while, because it will end up closing anyway with the unsustainable Invasion that is currently taking place - A DEATH WISH for the U.S.A.!"

In a follow-up post, Trump claimed that our country "is in serious trouble."

"A Border Deal now would be another Gift to the Radical Left Democrats. They need it politically, but don’t care about our Border," Trump wrote. "What is currently being worked on in the Senate will be meaningless in terms of Border Security and Closure. Four years ago we had the Safest and Most Secure Border in the History of our Country, and now we have the WORST, probably anywhere in the World. In any event, if you want to have a really Secure Border, your ONLY HOPE is to vote for TRUMP2024!"
