Before anyone gets excited, we think it highly, highly unlikely Romney would want to work for Trump or Trump would have him. If we have learned anything about Trump, it is that loyalty matters most. From Romney’s standpoint, if he truly believes (which we think Romney does, accurately so) that Trump is morally and intellectually unfit, he’d give advice — from afar.
If Trump simply wants to show how magnanimous he is (he isn’t) or pick Romney’s brain, Romney should certainly give him some advice. Here are 10 suggestions for him to start with:
1. Get out of New York. The appearance that Trump is holed up in a “safe” environment, unwilling to devote himself completely to the new job, is terrible. He doesn’t want to be seen (much as we would prefer) as a hands-off guy who lets everyone operate on autopilot. Most of all, he doesn’t want to give those below him the impression that they are running things.
