After the president's tweet, I must withdraw my support for everything but his agenda

18. It is confusing.

I was too harsh in my posts. People don't always have time to read an entire article. When I first looked at it, I also thought it was by Paul Ryan. It's only when I clicked on it and started reading that I realized it was satire.

Somehow, the picture draws one's attention, which makes it easy to miss the author's name. And many of the sentences sound like they might have been written by Ryan. It would make a lot of sense, after all, for Ryan to distance himself from Trump's tweets without denouncing his right-wing ideas. The important point, though, is that Ryan has *not* made a statement about the tweets. The reason I'm annoyed with the OP is that it actually makes Ryan look better than he is by giving the impression that Ryan has the decency to denounce Trump's attacks on the media.
