Trump on Ryan: ‘I don’t want his support’

Source: Politico

Donald Trump went right after Paul Ryan during his first TV interview since the publication of lewd comments he made in 2005, telling Fox News host Bill O'Reilly that he didn't want the House speaker's support.

“The fact is, I think we should get support and we don’t get the support from guys like Paul Ryan,” Trump said. “I’m just tired of nonsupport and I don’t really want his support. This happens all the time – if you sneeze, he calls up and announces, 'Isn’t that a terrible thing.' So look, I don’t want his support, I don’t care about his support.”

that Trump says he doesn't want Ryan's support anyway, while behind the scenes, I expect the Bagger wing of the party doesn't want Ryan as Speaker and are conspiring to toss him overboard.

Let's hope U.S. voters in very large numbers also do not want Trump as president or Ryan as Speaker.

He is going down and he wants to take everyone he can possibly blame down with him.

From his business man point of view, the best result of his defeat will be a total defeat of all Republicans, a turnover of the House and Senate, a "wave' election. That way he evades responsibility.

It also sets up his dream of TRUMPTV, a project he will set up with Ailes, Bannon, Bossie, Alex Jones, and his other brothers in irrational hate.

That gives him years to build a media presence going after the "crooked" fairly elected Democrat government.

His supporters will follow like the weak willed lemmings they are, and motivated by hate and bigotry, make the Donald a powerful media mogul.

Trump should either go full scorched earth or announce that he and Ryan have been saying that stuff in the locker room for years
