Trump camp suggests Ryan unfit to be speaker

Donald Trump and his allies are lashing out at House Speaker Paul Ryan for his refusal to back — for now — the presumptive Republican nominee, with Trump’s spokeswoman even declaring Ryan unfit for his job.

During a phone interview with Fox News on Friday, Trump said he was “very, very surprised” at Ryan’s comments. “It’s hard to believe,” he said, adding, “It doesn’t bother me at all.”

His tweets, however, suggest otherwise.

“So many great endorsements yesterday, except for Paul Ryan!” Trump tweeted. “We must put America first and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

Roughly 90 minutes later, Trump came back with a sharp critique of another comment Ryan made Thursday. “Paul Ryan said that I inherited something very special, the Republican Party. Wrong, I didn't inherit it, I won it with millions of voters!” Trump wrote on Twitter.

I disagree. He should not warn Ryan, just do it. Ryan needs to go.

Well, the POMPOUS PRICK Paul Ryan is definitely not competent enough to be Speaker of the House — he’s already demonstrated his incompetence in the short time he has been in that position.

He should NOT be reelected to that position in the 2017/2018 Congress.

How about unfit to be Chairman of the Republican National Convention? Ryan can cause all sorts of trouble and sabotage, using the power of the chair. He can even denounce Trump from the podium and tacitly campaign for Hillary Clinton.

“See its all about the Cheap Labor express. Our politicians sold us out, and now they complain because the the people got wise to this bribery and are voting for Mr. Trump.”

You are right!

Who runs the GOP and owns Paul Ryan & Marco Rubio? Let’s name names!

Donald Trump is clearly the Pied Piper when it comes to the real American citizenry and US politics, what ever he says the people respond in kind and Trump’s targets are or will soon be history. Good by RINO Ryan, you POS, your days are numbered.

he is representing the Cheap Labor Express.

There is a lot more to it, it has more to do with World Domination, which can NOT be accomplished with a Unified, Like Minded People. They must be Watered Down and Divided for a Tyrant to rule, or in this case Tyrant’s. See Multi-culturalism and diversity coupled with massive unemployment and complete breakdown of the family unit. hell throw in a Constantly Debasing of the national currency and pretty soon TYRANNY WINS!!

If Trump goes against Ryan in the speaker’s primary, and Ryan loses, it’s over. Choice is Trump’s.

lol...establishment republicans still don’t get it. They are helping Trump by opposing him. Trump is pulling in disaffected republican conservatives, anti-establishment types and quite a few democrats because of this as well. And he’s getting more free press.

It's called "stating the obvious" truth.

Unheard off from 99.99% of the current politicians.

I sent a post card to Ryan by regular mail. I wrote “You are not a Republican. You should switch parties.”

Maybe someone can come up with a better line. That’s how I felt when I sent it.

I agree with Trump.

Trump does get a lot of stuff right, enough to get elected.

Trump is now the establishment by the votes of the people and rules the GOP.

Ryan better get in line.

Ryan is now being everything Trump was accused of being...until Trump won and showed that Republicans prefer his ideas and leadership.
