President Trump spoke about Romney during a meeting with United States governors on Monday, where he had a lively back-and-forth conversation at the podium.
Speaking to Utah Governor Gary Herbert, Trump asked, “How’s Mitt Romney?”
“I haven’t talked with him,” Herbert replied.
“You keep him, we don’t want him,” Trump said, as many in the room chuckled.
Trump continues to criticize Romney for being the only Republican senator to vote in support of convicting and removing the president in the Senate’s impeachment trial last week.
“Say hello to the people of Utah and tell them, ‘I’m sorry about Mitt Romney,'” Trump told Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) last week during remarks at the White House after he was acquitted.
“We can say that Mike Lee is, by far, the most popular senator from the state,” he added.
President Trump is popular in Utah, as 52 percent of likely voters approve of his job performance, according to a UtahPolicy.com poll.
Romney’s approval numbers were already underwater in January, according to a UtahPolicy.com poll.
Only 36 percent of Utah voters said they approved of Romney’s job performance, while 49% disapproved.
That poll was taken on the dates of January 16-30, before Romney voted to impeach the president.

Is Orin Hatch still alive?
Yes, but he retired.
Now we’re stuck with Romney for 4+ more years............
Mr. President, couldn’t just you appoint him Consul to Libya? I hear the post in Benghazi is still vacant.
“How’s Mitt Romney?”
He’s a backstabbing m’fer. That’s how he is.
Nobody wants Romney and the truth is no one ever did. Mitt has daddy issues.
President Trump has to stop endorsing weasels just because they have an R jersey on.
He endorsed McCain and Romney and got stabbed in the back for it.
Flimsey Grahamnesty will do the same thing.
He’ll be pushing amnesty as soon as the polls close in Nov.
I believe that Romney has no intention of running for reelection to the senate so he took the opportunity to express his personal hatred for Trump in voting to convict despite the fact that he was burying his chance for reelection if he was going to run again
At a rally in Minnesota, Trump mentioned Omar Ilhan and asked the crowd, “How the h*ll did you let that happen?”
Great, Romney wants favor and attention - giving him public constant scorn is the best medicine for him.
One of my favorites from those home improvement shows. ...well, that vertical beam will need to me moved. ....
Really? Vertical beam? What’s that?
And you’re the home builder?
Public schools. ....posts or columns no more.....vertical beams baby.
Dear President Trump
Mitt Romney is the ultimate punching-bag. Please continue to disparage, denigrate and demean him whenever possible. Its all good.
But don’t forget about John Brennan either.
Sincerely
PGR88
Yeah - the obvious is not obvious. Read a detective novel where the bad guy was “twirling the barrel of his revolver” Twirling the barrel? Cylinder, yeah, but barrel? Oh and putting a silencer on a revolver; great research there.
Keep Mike Lee while you’re at it.
In fact, Utah, just teleconference everything and we will decide what to do.
There is no positive from any of your “politicians” ever setting foot outside of your State.
He wouldn’t have been a good president.
The choice of Romney for UT senator is all on Orrin Hatch and the UT GOP. They worked together to coach Mitt through the primaries and election, giving voters the choice of Mitt or a collectivist in November ‘18.
