PARK CITY — Mitt Romney said Friday he has no regrets about criticizing then candidate Donald Trump in a stinging speech last year but now sees the new president as having "obviously gotten off to a very strong start."
Romney, the Republican Party's presidential nominee in 2012, told the Deseret News that he wishes Trump well despite having labeled him a "fraud" and a "phony" in a University of Utah speech last March.
"I expressed honestly what my belief was with regards to temperament and character. Now the time has come for us to recognize we have a new president and we have hopes he will be successful leading our country," Romney said.
