Donald Trump, Mitt Romney hold 'far-reaching' talk on world affairs

As Romney approached reporters, Trump cupped his hands around his mouth and said "it went great," according to a pool report.

There was no confirmation or suggestion of a job offer despite reports of Romney's interest in the secretary of State post. Analysts say it’s doubtful Trump would offer a job in his administration or that Romney would accept it given the verbal jabs they exchanged on the trail.

Former Arkansas Governor and Trump confidante Mike Huckabee said it "doesn't make any sense" to give someone who was such a vocal critic a top Cabinet post.

"To give a guy a job who basically said all his supporters were following a con man, I just think that would be an insult to the voters," Huckabee told Fox News Saturday. "You don't entrust one of the of the most important parts of your administration and your entire presidency to people who fundamentally don't think you have any business sitting in that chair offering them the job."

During the campaign, Romney called Trump a "phony ... a fraud ...(and) a con man," among other pointed criticisms. He also wrote on Facebookthat Trump’s refusal to release his tax records was "disqualifying."

Trump responded that Romney was "irrelevant (and) a choke artist." He tweeted often about Romney, at one point calling him a "dope!"

Romney was the first of several high-profile visitors meeting with Trump and Pence this weekend. Former New York City Mayor

and New Jersey Gov.

are expected to meet with the incoming president Sunday.

Also on the schedule are:

Former

. Schools Chancellor

, School voucher advocate

, retired

general

,

owner and GOP fundraiser

, Center for Neighborhood Enterprises President Bob Woodson,

finance chair and businessman Lew Eisenberg (Commerce), and surgeon and businessman

.

Aside from Giuliani and Christie, Sunday’s lineup of visitors includes: conservative writer John Gray, immigration hardliner

, venture capitalist

, BET founder

, and global investor

.

Jason Miller, a spokesman for the Trump transition team, said the roster of visitors "shows the reach and the depth to which we’re going to pull in diverse ideas and different perspective as we form this administration."

Some of the visitors are potential administration hires and some "are coming purely to offer their advice," Miller said. "But I think this also shows that the president-elect is even bringing folks together when they have been on the opposite of him politically."

Trump has already begun forming his national security team, selecting retired Army lieutenant general Michael Flynn as national security adviser, Alabama

as Attorney General, and Rep.

, R-Kan., as his pick to lead the

.

Sean Spicer, another Trump spokesman, said it’s possible at least one more member of that team gets named Saturday.
