He knew, as did anyone with half a brain, that Ryan couldn't twist arms the way he thought he could, didn't have the personality to sweet talk anyone into anything because he's an egotistical little Sh*t, and that there were enough people opposed to anything except the same repeal that was sent to Obama, that there was very little chance they could pass anything.
Now, Trump says, "Hey, the guy was anti-Trump after he was NeverTrump, calmed down a bit, then started with the BS again as soon as I won. See, I"m willing to make a deal and even work with people who oppose me on most things. He said he know what do to and I backed him. Now about the tax cut bill the same bunch who proved they don't know what they're doing won't move on . . . "
Trump wanted Ryan's head and he's going to get it. I also think he's got someone in mind for the slot and will let that be known to the right people when they someone is suddenly looking really good and getting a lot of good press among pro-Trump people and anyone else who believes in the rule of law.

I do believe you are the most correct here tonight.
I’m from Wisconsin and do NOT like Ryan one bit. He’s not my district. But he’s been out to bash Trump, little weasel.
We HAVE demanded repeal. Made phone calls, went to town meetings with Sensenbrenner. Ryan is NOT listening and outwardly fighting Trump. Prior to the election, he invited Trump, then UNinvited him to a rally. He was ROUNDLY booed off the stage, even with our great Gov. Walker and Ron Johnson at his side.
The candidate that ran against him in the primary was not so good.
Would love to see your theory come alive. Replace him. Remember when Trump said he’d back Ryan all the way....... unless he crossed him. Well, what do we have here?
