Way back in the spring, Mitt Romney called Donald Trump "a fraud" who "lacks the temperament to be president."

What a difference a couple of months makes. On Tuesday night, he was spotted at four-star restaurant Jean Georges in New York City having dinner with the president-elect. (On the menu: frog legs, scallops and sirloin.)

Romney is in the running to become Trump's secretary of state. The awkwardness of having to dine with a man you once called "a phony" was written all over Romney's face.

In fact, it brings to mind a certain paper salesman who also had to endure the crude jokes of an oafish man who, somehow, found himself in a position of power.

The photo of a resigned Romney inspired plenty of other jokes, too.

Yup, that's me. You're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation ... pic.twitter.com/VC9XZblMGY — Hunter Walker (@hunterw) November 30, 2016

I found the uncropped version of that Trump and Romney photo. pic.twitter.com/VdeLh3QnB1 — neontaster (@neontaster) November 30, 2016

Romney having dinner with Trump. It's even more awkward than a stop-and-chat.
