The President’s endorsement of Romney occurred via Twitter:
.@MittRomney has announced he is running for the Senate from the wonderful State of Utah. He will make a great Senator and worthy successor to @OrrinHatch, and has my full support and endorsement!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 20, 2018
Romney also responded via Twitter, thanking President Trump for his endorsement:
Thank you Mr. President for the support. I hope that over the course of the campaign I also earn the support and endorsement of the people of Utah.

America’s Response to President Trump’s Pro-Romney Endorsement
President Trump and Mitt Romney may have put their differences aside, but not all Trump supporters share the same amicable feelings regarding Romney. Much of the President’s base viewed his endorsement as problematic. They furthermore did not hesitate to express concerns via Twitter:
You're on your own on this one.

However, other Trump supporters slammed their displeased counterparts, citing the endorsement as “fine,” or suggesting that the President happens to be making moves in a bigger game:
He is playing his game, let him do what he needs to do. POTUS will make Romney his b*tch just like Louis VX did with his aristocrats.

Trump supporters who are flipping out over him endorsing Romney seriously need to get over themselves. I think the endorsement is fine. I also think that many people on both the left and the right simply want something to be offended about.
