Mitt Romney declined to rebuke Donald Trump for his recent birther crusade or even request that he tone it down, saying in a CNBC interview that it would be inappropriate for him to weigh in. 

“I disagree with him, there’s no question that the president was born in the United States of America,” Romney said. “I dont go around telling all my supporters what they should think or what they should say.”
