Key Facts
Romney called Trump a “human gumball machine,” in an interview on NBC’s Meet the Press, referring to his habit of speaking without a filter: “He just says whatever. I don’t attach an enormous amount of impact to the particular words that come out,” Romney said.

Romney also warned against Trump’s “authoritarian rulings and interests and notions” and predicted Trump “will impose his will if he can on the judicial system, on the legislative branch and on the entire nation.”
The comments come weeks after Romney announced his retirement from the Senate, following an ideological break with his party, including his long-time criticism of Trump.
