“Trump is the most dangerous major party presidential candidate in my lifetime, maybe in American history,” David Nierenberg wrote in a CNBC op-ed. “His character, temperament, and behavior definitely are not presidential. I don’t think he’s fit to be our president. He speaks positively about foreign dictators and acts like one himself.”
Nierenberg, who along with Meg Whitman was one of the former Massachusetts governor’s first national finance chairs, took particular issue with Trump’s reluctance to release his tax returns. Romney himself has speculated that there might be a “bombshell” in the Republican nominee’s documents, while Trump has maintained that he will not release them while they are under audit.
“For decades, candidates, including successful business people, have released their tax returns; why does Trump think he shouldn’t follow the rules of the game?” Nierenberg asked. “Defeating him has to be our national priority.”
