AOC 'should treat Nancy Pelosi with respect,' says Trump — but Paul Ryan was 'a terrible speaker'

President Trump on Friday weighed in on the side of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in her public spat with four outspoken freshman congresswomen in her Democratic caucus. In a remarkable turnaround, he had nicer things to say about her than about Paul Ryan, the previous speaker — a Republican who supported every part of Trump’s agenda in Congress.

Earlier this week, Pelosi scolded the group that has been dubbed the “squad” — Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts — for going public with their criticisms of her.

“I think Cortez is being very disrespectful to somebody that’s been there a long time,” Trump told reporters on the South Lawn before departing to Wisconsin for a fundraiser. “I think that a group of people is being very disrespectful to her. And you know what, I don’t think that Nancy can let that go on.”

“I deal with Nancy Pelosi a lot, and we go back and forth and it’s fine,” the president said.

At various times, Trump has called Pelosi a “nasty,” “vindictive” and “horrible person.” As recently as last month, he described her as “a disgrace to herself and her family.”

Will AOC and Nanzi oil wrestle? And will it be on Pay Per View? I’m sure that the revenues would make a major dent into our national debt.

"Paul Ryan, the previous speaker — a Republican who failed to convince anyone that he supported every part of Trump’s agenda in Congress."

Yep - the man is either off the charts in IQ or being divinely guided....or maybe a bit of both.

“Ryan could have got the wall included in that Omnibus bill, but didn’t. Makes no sense to me.”

Ryan is a career politician in the worst sense of the term. He never had a job outside of government and retired before fifty with a fat pension. Think about that. Anything having to do with President Trump, a Wall, or a change to the status quo threatened him. Put more simply he is a condescending, unrepentant, unabashed, insidious swamp creature. A leech who wilfully drove his party to loss.
