Here is my opinion Romney still thinks Trump is a phony and a fraud . He believes Trump ' s foreign policy will be bad for US , and thus probably wants to be SecofState to at least have some influence and stop Trump from becoming a disaster in the foreign policy side of governance . It makes sense to me that way , that he feels he has some kind of responsibility , and it ' s probably because he loves America so much he can ' t let Trump have his way . It ' s probably his hidden agenda but it ' s pretty obvious if you watch all his interviews denouncing Trump . Problems is if he associates himself with Trump and everything goes downhill , it ' s on him too . His reputation could be ruined . Either way , he ' ll be better than Rudy Giuliani .
