Trump Slams Paul Ryan: “Couldn’t Run For Dog Catcher”
(PatriotWise.com) – In a recent interview, former Republican Speaker of the House Paul Ryan predicted that former President Donald Trump will not be the Republican nominee in 2024 and that if he were to somehow get the nomination, he would lose in the General Election.
Ryan offered this prediction on October 13 during an interview with Teneo, a DC consultancy group of which Ryan is the chairman.
Ryan suggested that everyone knows Trump is “much more likely to lose the White House” than anyone else who would run for president as a Republican in 2024. He predicted that Trump would try to “intimidate people” to stay out of the race “as long as he can.”
Ryan said he believes “Trump’s unelectability will be palpable by then.”
He suggested the only reason Trump is maintaining his prominence in the party is that “everybody is afraid of him.” He said other Republicans fear going after Trump would hurt “their own ambition,” describing it as “herd mentality.”
Ryan pointed out that Trump is polling much poorer than other Republicans against a Democrat. He said whether or not Trump runs doesn’t matter because either way “he’s not going to be the nominee.”
Unsurprisingly, Trump did not take the news of Ryan’s remarks at all well.
In an angry post on Truth Social, the former president slammed Ryan, calling him the “grossly incompetent former Speaker of the House” who was a terrible vice presidential candidate in 2012.
He said Ryan “couldn’t run for ‘dog catcher’” in Wisconsin and accused him of quitting.
Trump claimed Paul Ryan “did everything possible” to prevent the construction of a border wall, adding “he was almost as bad as the Dems.”
Trump then claimed he got the border wall constructed, which is a bit of a stretch since construction began but was never completed which is why over 4 million illegals have poured over the border since Joe Biden took office.
