President-elect Donald Trump will reportedly meet with former Republican presidential nominee and Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney this weekend, despite the strong stance Romney took against Trump’s candidacy.

CNN reported Thursday that Trump and Romney will discuss “governing moving forward,” citing a senior Republican source.

NBC’s Bradd Jaffy, citing a source close to Trump “with direct knowledge of his thinking,” reported that the meeting would center on the position of secretary of state.

The meeting would be a dramatic departure from the bitter relationship between the two in recent months.

In March, as it became clear that Trump had a strong chance of winning his party’s nomination, Romney delivered a blistering speech against Trump’s candidacy. The former Republican presidential nominee called him a “phony” and a “fraud” and asserted that Trump would diminish “prospects for a safe and prosperous future.”

During the general election, Trump wrote that Romney lost the 2012 presidential election “like a dog.”

    It’s all about the Childish Revenge with Oberfuhrer Trump.

    “Direct knowledge of his thinking.”

    So many falsities in so few words!

  3. Romney: Trump is the smartest Con Man to be born on this earth. I am going to meet him to thank him for billions in Tax Cuts.

  4. I wonder if Romney will “get down on his knees” like Trump said he did when begging for political contributions.

  5. They kinda buried the lede here – is Romney being considered for Secretary of State? I’m no fan of Romney’s, but everything being relative, I’m at least not horrified by the prospect of him representing the US overseas.
