If true, they deserve each other. I was actually worried when it was stated yesterday that Trump would endorse Newt. Trump is one bombastic mouthpiece that Newt does not need.
The only thing I liked about the idea that Trump might endorse Newt was the possibility that Trump would bring his own money and big money donors with him.
I saw a Trump interview with Greta several months ago in which he was talking about Romney’s finances. He told Greta that he’d seen Romney’s financials, and he wasn’t impressed. He said that he (Trump) had a much higher net worth. Now, considering that Romney’s net worth is supposed to be somewhere close to half a billion (with a B!) dollars, the two of them together have a combined personal wealth that would exceed the GDP of some countries. If Trump’s endorsing Romney, Newt’s financial situation just became more threatened, and it was already pretty shaky.
On the plus side, I’m looking forward to seeing Newt’s Super PAC put together a campaign ad with back-to-back clips showing Trump saying “You’re fired!” with Romney saying “I like to fire people!”
