The news media naturally delighted in Sen.-elect Mitt Romney, R-Utah, attacking the leader of his party in his op-ed on Tuesday. But President Trump negated whatever sting his piece had with one devastatingly subtle tweet.

“Here we go with Mitt Romney, but so fast!” Trump mused Wednesday in response to Romney. “Question will be, is he a Flake? I hope not. Would much prefer that Mitt focus on Border Security and so many other things where he can be helpful. I won big, and he didn’t. He should be happy for all Republicans. Be a TEAM player & WIN!”
