Report: Trump Said Paul Ryan ‘Screwed Him’ By Not Securing Border Wall Funding Earlier

President Donald Trump last week reportedly criticized Paul Ryan for not funding a border wall while he was in charge of the House of Representatives.

A Washington Post report, which delved into the process behind President Trump’sdecision to sign a continuing resolution to fund the government through February 15 absent any border wall money, quoted a Wednesday meeting attendee who said Trump accused the former House speaker of having “screwed him.”

At a meeting Wednesday with conservative groups, the president accused former House speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) of having “screwed him” by not securing border wall money when Republicans had the majority, according to one attendee, Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies. He said Ryan should have gotten him money before he left but he had no juice and had “gone fishing,” according to two attendees.

Ryan had warned the president against a shutdown and told him it would be politically disastrous, according to a person familiar with their conversations.

That was only one thing the cheese eating turd screwed him on. He was rotten to the core from the beginning because he wanted to be the one living in the white quarters. He wouldn't make a pimple on our president's back side.

So true Ryan was a major player in politians against Trump. Just like McCain, Flake, Murkowski and several other so called Republicans in Congress. That is why he quit. He could not stand the heat and would not follow the Republican agenda.

Ryan kind of had unlimited promise earlier in his career.

But as Speaker he was a dismal failure, and until the change of gavel earlier this month that didn't have to be the case. Genuine shame.
