Trump refuses to support Speaker Paul Ryan in his primary race

Donald Trump is refusing to back House Speaker Paul Ryan in his upcoming primary election, saying that he is “not quite there yet” in endorsing his party’s top-ranking elected official, the Washington Post reports.

In fact, Trump praised Ryan’s underdog opponent, Paul Nehlen, for running “a very good campaign.”

Said Trump: “I like Paul, but these are horrible times for our country. We need very strong leadership. We need very, very strong leadership. And I’m just not quite there yet. I’m not quite there yet.”

After all of Ryan's angst in coming around to endorse Trump--now Trump isn't ready to endorse him!!

hahaha

If Ryan pulls his support now it will look like retaliation against Trump not supporting him.

and Ryan actually needed help.

I can only assume Ryan's constituents have no idea what Ayn Rand thought of them.

Trump requires His Lessers to get down and slobber like good whipped dogs.
'A little lower, Mr Speaker, a little lo...there you go, , THATS a GOOD Bitch...'

I dont feel bad for him. Not even a fucking little bit.
