"Republicans used to support Trump out of fear for their seats. Now out of fear for their lives”: Mitt Romney paints a pitch-black picture of American politics

Five thousand dollars a day. That’s how much Mitt Romney (76) pays for his security. Out of my own pocket. The former Republican presidential candidate reveals this in his biography, an excerpt of which has already been published now that he has announced his retirement. Why is the price so high? Because he went against Donald Trump. “Not everyone can afford that and one fool is enough,” he says. “So politicians who despise Trump continue to support him.” Does he think anything can be done about this? Or will the Capitol stormers come out on top after all?
