Former President Trump put out a statement Friday in response to former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan‘s speech Thursday night. In the statement, Trump accused Ryan of being a Republican in name only.
Trump scoffed Ryan’s advice for conservatives to win elections, saying he “was the single biggest fact, other than Romney himself, for the monumental Romney/Ryan loss in the Presidential race of 2012.” Meanwhile, “I got more votes by far,” Trump wrote, “75M than any other sitting president in history!”
“Interestingly, I was in the Great State of Wisconsin when they booed him off the stage,” Trump went on. “I literally had to come to his rescue.”
Yesterday, Ryan tried to lead the GOP away from “populist appeal of one personality” or else “we’re not going anywhere.” But Trump disagreed. “Ryan should instead be telling them how to stop the cheating of elections and that we would have won if Republican leadership fought the way the Democrats did.”
Now, “Ryan has been a curse to the Republican party,” Trump said. He even went as far to say that Ryan’s involvement on the board of Fox News has lead to “millions of its great supporters fleeing for good.”
Finally, Trump echoed Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL). “As a Republican, having Ryan on your side almost guarantees a loss for both you, the Party, and America itself!” Trump said.

THAT is my Trump!!!
One would think he would stop endorsing Bush League Republicans after his disastrous endorsements of McCain, Romney, McConnell, Tillis, etc.
Paul Ryan is worthless, yet he believes he is still relevant. He and others before him almost destroyed the Republican Party. The only reason the Republican Party is still with us, is because it was more effective to take over the party then it was to try and replace the party with a new party.
TRUMP is definitely a standard bearer, but it isn't populism. It is Americanism.
That Paul RINO can't see it says everything about him.
Ryan a Republican in name only? Hell, he may be a human in name only.
Substance over style. Trump is a cringeworthy fighter yet we cannot eat our own. Ryan needs educating on what’s going on out here
No “ Cult of Personality “like Obama
Statement here; https://www.donaldjtrump.com/desk/
The reason we (The ‘Pubbies) have a cult of personality instead of a platform or agenda is because the party never advances the platform or agenda. At best, the Pubbies, under the leadership of people like Ryan and McConnell, just ‘lose slower.’
Trump, on the other leads, and fights. He tries to stand firm on his principles and goal. For that reason, we have become dependent on his leadership. De Santis, who is showing some of these same qualities is also being advanced as a leader of the party.
Yes, it is bad that we have ‘indispensable men’ but that would not have occurred is the GOP leadership actually fought for its principles.
If they truly want to get Trump out of the GOP, they need to start defending his policies and his record. That is how they will win over his supporters.
The populist movement was growing before Trump, he was courageous enough to lead it. Thanks Fox for hiring this traitor.
yeah...is that called a conundrum or a paradox? It’s simple why Trump won in likely 2 landslides. Not simple why DAs like Ryan can’t figure it out!
That was fro the speech yesterday? Lol. He got Biden numbers 😆. Wish folks book him off stage again. Apparently he hasn’t t got thrmessage yet that he is despised.
To be fair, the reason we lose is because our party doesn’t fight dirty like, and ignore the co situation and laws and regulations likethe left does. The ,eft bark, break the law, ignore the constitution, and the right tuck tail and comply.
“As a Republican, having Ryan on your side almost guarantees a loss for both you, the Party, and America itself!” Trump said.
Republican voters in Wisconsin’s 1st district kept reelecting him as their representative. And they would still vote for him if he decided to run again.
Republicans love their RINOs.
