Trump mixed up square miles and acres when he bragged to Romney about returning land to Utah,...

Shortly after Mitt Romney announced in 2018 that he'd be running to succeed Orrin Hatch as a Utah senator that year, he received a call from then-President Donald Trump.

Trump — who had won the deep red state in 2016 but by a margin that was less imposing than previous GOP nominees — likely thought it would be advantageous to forge some sort of working relationship with the former Republican presidential nominee as it appeared highly likely he'd be heading to Washington the next year.

In the newly-released book "Romney: A Reckoning," the now-senator told author McKay Coppins that Trump touted his victory in the state during the call and bragged that he was "loved by the people in Utah."

Trump then gave the reasoning for why he was "loved" by most voters in the state: land.
