Romney meets with Trump, no word on possible role in administration

Mitt Romney is under “serious” consideration to serve his one-time nemesis, Donald Trump, after a successful meeting over the weekend, according to the vice president elect. Since Election Day, he has twice ditched the group of reporters designated to follow his movements and has so far eschewed the traditional news conference held by the president-elect in the days after winning.

In March, during the Republican primary race, Romney said Trump had neither “the temperament nor the judgement to be president”, accusing him of bullying, misogyny and dishonesty.

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach was called in. Amanda Miller, the Trump Organization vice president of marketing, said the meeting was a “brief passing and exchange of ‘hellos.’.No business of any sorts was conducted”.

But Trump has been promising to unite the country around his presidency, saying repeatedly he will be president of “all Americans”. Trump later tweeted that he meeting was back on and he was looking “forward to it”.

Mr Trump also complained that Saturday Night Live, which thrives on making fun of politicians, is “biased” and not amusing.
