In a point by point indictment, Mr. Romney said that the billionaire real estate mogul was ‘playing the American public for suckers’ and that he was a ‘phony, a fraud’. The intervention by Mr. Romney is the most public move yet in the civil war among Republicans over Mr. Trump which is splitting the Republican party.

"Here’s a guy who’s obviously Mussolini. How is it possible that people would be supporting this guy? Under a Trump Presidency, he will ‘get rid of Jews, the blacks," Mr Gere said in an interview with the Evening Standard branding Trump a ‘demagogue, a clown’.

Trump has already flirted with Mussolini and retweeted a quote from an account mocking the dictator which read: "It is better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep".
