Donald Trump fired back at former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney for wondering Wednesday if a “bombshell” was sitting in his unreleased tax returns.
Fresh off his victory in Nevada, Trump fired off a trio of tweets at Romney, calling him a “fool” and a “tough guy” for his attack, adding that he should have beaten President Obama as the Republican nominee in 2012.
When Mitt Romney asked me for my endorsement last time around, he was so awkward and goofy that we all should have known he could not win!

“@Ward_II: Oh great @MittRomney is doing a @SenatorReid on @realDonaldTrump like losing the presidency wasn’t enough #Trump2016” He’s a fool

Earlier in the day, Romney told Fox News’ Neil Cavuto that he worried over the fact that Trump, Sen. Marco Rubio and Sen. Ted Cruz had not released their back tax returns for “several years” as Romney had in 2012. He added that there is “good reason” to think there’s a “bombshell” in Trump’s taxes, given his wealth.
Romney’s comments came one day after Trump came out victorious in Nevada in a landslide and made it three consecutive victories in early primary states as he heads into Thursday’s debate and Super Tuesday next week.
