'Shackles' off: Trump calls Paul Ryan a 'very weak and ineffective leader'

Another day, another dispute between the Republican presidential nominee and the Republican Speaker of the House.

"Our very weak and ineffective leader, Paul Ryan, had a bad conference call where his members went wild at his disloyalty," Donald Trump tweeted Tuesday.

Between the fake foundation, not paying taxes, Trump U. and the women he's sexually abused, I expect Trump will have a bit of jail time and go bankrupt again.

Years ago I found this delightful bit in a magazine.

An English teacher was impressed when his young daughter came up with this gem at bedtime when he came upstairs to her room for their customary bedtime story -

"Why did you bring that book that I didn't want to be read to out of up for?"

he DID warn the GOP from the outset that if they weren't nice to him, there'd be hell to pay. Obviously, they miscalculated his threat.

It's SO much fun watching the alien emerge from it's host and then turn on it!

they Republican party has REPEATED caved in or been conned by him, despite him punking them at EVERY turn.

There is a reason he ran as an R, because he knows they such niave and cowardly followers.

The most important part of a con isn't the con itself, its the mark.

But, the media and most of this country brainlessly cast the Rs are TOUGH and PRINCIPLED with all the negative and weak frames for Ds.

Does this mean he has been holding/was holding himself back in some way?

He's even MORE unhinged than he's been letting on?
