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.

Here’s the problem Trumps ideas and style expanded the party as there are more minorities and women who are GOP then ever before whole Ryan’s ideas appeal to a very very narrow sliver of the American populace…try selling never ending wars, tax cuts for the wealthy, and lax immigration because you have jobs Americans won’t do as W would put it…and you won’t get elected local tax collector
But not MacArthur who was a cult of personality...
I could overlook his endorsements when in office, but after the GOP colluded with the Democrats to cheat him out of office, why would he continue to endorse people like Micro Rubio who have made a career out of the pursuit of amnesty for illegal aliens and a permanent majority for Democrats?
Obambam didn’t have a cult of personality, he had a cult of empty-suit skin color.
You can’t recognize one of our own (Ryan) as an actual enemy?
The GOP party needs to actually start throwing some of these people out.
Absolutely. We must make 2022 count BIGLY.
Vote out every RINO who must face a primary in 2022, and replace them with MAGA patriots.
These traitorous RINOs outed themselves in 2020 in no uncertain terms. Send them packing in 2022.
Totally agree! If he endorses George P Bush, I will be convinced as someone said on another FR post, that Trump has learned nothing from these establishment endorsements.
AS speaker- he should have had health care Ocare replacement, tax cut program, on the runway and ready to go 1/21/17- Instead all we had was a summary sheet and NONE of the work done- He had nearly 7 years to develop a plan
In contrast the other side has an assembly line of despicable, liberty killing bills ready to be voted on when they get the first window of opportunity
That’s not true.
Lyin’ Ryan is sure to receive glowing reviews from David French, Jonah Goldberg, and Bill Kristol....
What’s up with Trump endorsing George P Bush?
Disappointed
Cause Marco voted for Trumps legislative agenda over 90 percent of the time
I don’t think he has endorsed him.
I hope he doesn’t.
All negated by amnesty.
Last I checked it never passed
He can’t wait to vote for it again.
Florida can do better.
So a guy who actually has a strong chance of retaining his senate seat Trump wants to vote for go figure
One more amnesty and the country is done.
Re-electing amnesty Senators will get that done.
Saw it on FOX News
