Trump just tweeted out a full endorsement of Mitt Romney for US Senate, saying he’ll make a ‘worthy’ successor to Orrin Hatch:
.@MittRomney has announced he is running for the Senate from the wonderful State of Utah. He will make a great Senator and worthy successor to @OrrinHatch, and has my full support and endorsement!

I thought Trump wanted to drain the swamp?
Trump is pretty transparent, so he’s hoping that if he fully supports and endorses Romney, that Romney will return the favor when he’s in the Senate. Good luck with that.
Also Trump is clearly moderate on some issues so Romney is really a good fit for him.
