'Conman' Donald Trump labels Mitt Romney a 'choke artist'

Washington: Donald Trump yesterday fired back at his party’s top leader Mitt Romney by labelling him as a “choke artist”, a day after the former White House aspirantblasted the Republican presidential front-runner as “a conman” and asked primary voters to block his path to the nomination.

A few hours later Trump, while addressing an election campaign, called Romney a failed presidential candidate who ran a “horrible campaign,” and repeatedly labelled him a “choke artist”.


Romney, who was defeated by President Barack Obama in his 2012 re-election, on Thursday joined a growing chorus of anxious Republican leaders who appeared to have ganged up against Trump in a last ditch effort to prevent him from becoming the nominee for the November presidential poll.

Romney said in a speech in Utah, “There’s plenty of evidence that Mr Trump is a conman, a fake. Trump has changed his positions not just over the years, and over the course of the campaign,”
he said.

Trump's H1B flip-flop
Donald Trump yesterday said he has softened his stance on H-1B visas for highly skilled workers, but took a U-turn soon by vowing to abolish the visa programme. “We need highly skilled people...if we can’t do it, we’ll get them,” Trump said. However, within an hour of his statement, he said, “I remain totally committed to eliminating rampant, widespread H-1B abuse.”

Meet 'Deep Drumpf'
A researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has developed a Donald Trump Twitterbot that tweets out remarkably Trump-like statements.

The bot is based on an artificial-intelligence (AI) algorithm that is trained on just a few hours of transcripts of Trump’s victory speeches and his debate performances.
