Trump Romney
Donald Trump and Mitt Romney in 2016.
  • Romney said former President Trump mixed up his unit of measurements during a 2018 talk about Utah.
  • Romney told author McKay Coppins that Trump gave an inaccurate picture of his restoration of land to the state.
  • But Trump went on to say that he was a "real estate guy" who fully understood metrics, per the book.

Shortly after Mitt Romney announced in 2018 that he'd be running to succeed Orrin Hatch as a Utah senator that year, he received a call from then-President Donald Trump.
