The twitterverse helpfully mines the “there’s a Trump tweet for that” gold mine along the Romney vein.
From 2012-
In the event, Mr. Trump was all-in for Mr. Romney and on his best behavior at the lectern. He hit no off-message subjects (i.e. President Obama’s country of origin) or signature notes (“you’re fired”) that could have embarrassed Mr. Romney (“I like firing people”).
He endorsed Mr. Romney with the broad-stroke simplicity of a parent describing a superhero to a scared child. “He’s not going to allow bad things to continue to happen to this country that we all love,” he said.
As he spoke, the Romneys stood off to Mr. Trump’s right with slight smiles and hands folded at their waists. Per custom, Mr. Romney stood like a ramrod and kept his smile firm, but lapsed into a slight toe-bounce at one point, signifying possible — well, who knows? (Sometimes a slight toe-bounce is just a slight toe-bounce.)
Mrs. Romney is the lesser poker player. Her cheeks grew increasingly red through Mr. Trump’s remarks, and she appeared on the verge of either laughter or terror during the whole show.
