House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) shied away Sunday morning from some of Donald Trump’s most far-reaching campaign proposals, including promises to deport undocumented immigrants and impose severe tariffs.
(Snip)
Asked by CNN’s Jake Tapper about Trump’s promise to establish tariffs on goods from countries such as China and Mexico in the first 100 days of his presidency, Ryan again demurred.
“Well, I think there’s a better way of dealing with that particular issue,” Ryan said, citing his own tax reform plan. “This is something that Donald also talked about during the campaign, which is to fix our taxes on border adjustments, which we believe is a smarter way, which is what all the other countries do, which is not tariffs, not trade wars. So we think there are better ways of dealing with making American products and workers more competitive and really, it’s fixing our tax code.”
Ryan didn’t say whether he would pass the 35 percent or 45 percent tariffs Trump has suggested.
“He’s trying to make America more competitive. He’s trying to make the American worker more competitive, he’s trying to make it so that American businesses stay in America,” Ryan said. “And we believe the smartest and best way to do that is comprehensive tax reform ― which actually makes America much more competitive without any adverse effects, without any collateral damage to the economy. “

I still say Trump needs a Speaker who fully supports his agenda. The President should not have to argue with his own Speaker.
Ryno must go!
Ryan will do his best for the bidding of his masters, a group that does not include Trump or the American people.
The open borders hacks will fight him on immigration and trade. Was listening to the crying on WSJ report on FOX.
Get rid of Ryan.
He’s acting like he won the Presidency! Trump won, not one their ideas, but on his own. The Republicans would have lost the blue states Trump turned with their standard stump. The GOPe is actually stupid enough to think that despite the fact that their policies were defeated in the primaries and didn’t win a general, that they can thrust them in now. They must like losing.
Paul Ryan is an idiot and needs to step down.
And the republicans need to toss is butt if he doesn’t.
Ryan needs to ousted as Speaker ASAP!! He’s useless and gutless and spineless. A Worm!!!
How about a call in campaign to DC?? Dump Ryan!!!

Dead man walking. I watched DJT’s body language with him in DC - it was the same as his was with Barky. Ryan is an idiot and so is Pres. Stompy foot but Ryan still thinks he is in like Flynn.
Reagan didn’t need a speaker to support his agenda.
Good bye, Mr. Buffalo Chips
Ryan may end up getting deported.
Paul Ryan is on probation.
No messing up the locker or leaking to the press!
“I still say Trump needs a Speaker who fully supports his agenda. The President should not have to argue with his own Speaker.”
That’s why Ryan and 0bama got along so well!
Rumor has it that Ryan doesn’t have the 218 votes he needs to keep the Speaker position.
Fingers crossed that that is TRUE!
I admit to not being too familiar with how the senate or the house works as far as procedures in some areas. Can Donald Trump should he choose just get rid of Ryan as Speaker of the House?
Secure Fence Act is still law. Trump only needs to refund it by tariffs and fees. He doesn’t need Ryan or congressional approval. A jump start.
