In a surprise move, Donald Trump reversed a decision earlier this week to not endorse House Speaker Paul Ryan, giving the Wisconsin lawmaker his full-throated support.

Although Ryan is expected to easily win reelection of his Wisconsin district, Trump’s non endorsement of Ryan created ripples within the party throughout the week.
“We are in a competition with the world, and I want America to win”, Trump told the Detroit Economic Club, as he highlighted “disastrous” policies that he said have snuffed out United States jobs in the almost eight years of Barack Obama’s presidency.
“We will have disagreements, but we will disagree as friends and never stop working together toward victory, and very importantly toward real change”, he said. “I’m just not quite there yet”, Trump told The Washington Post on Tuesday in reference to endorsing Ryan. She accused Trump of offering “super big tax breaks” to huge companies and rich people and disputed his claim that she wanted the middle class to pay more. “John McCain for his service to our country in uniform and in public office, and I fully support and endorse his re-election”, said Trump, before backing Ayotte. The Republican Party of Brown County has previously said the Trump campaign expects 5,000 people to attend the rally at the KI Convention Center.
Trump also had something to say about Kelly Ayotte, New Hampshire’s reelection candidate, when he assured Ayotte doesn’t support him despite Trump “beating her in the polls by a lot”.
Since his endorsement, Ryan has called out Trump numerous times.
He reiterated his support for Mr Trump hours before the endorsement – but he noted that his support was not a “blank cheque”, and pledged to speak out against the businessman’s divisive positions if necessary.
Wisconsin governor Scott Walker also skipped the evening rally, preferring to attend an all-you-can-eat spaghetti dinner. Wisconsin’s Republican state Assembly speaker, Robin Vos, released a scathing open letter saying he was embarrassed that Trump was leading the party ticket in November.
The Midwest mayhem underscored Trumps mounting challenges during one of the most tumultuous weeks of his unorthodox campaign.
He has skipped from one misstep to the next, sparking a fresh wave of Republican defections among long-time party loyalists who refuse to support their presidential nominee – with some even going so far as to publicly support Mrs Clinton.
Still, Mr. Trump over the past week has embraced a signature plank of Mrs. Clinton’s proposal by promising twice as much infrastructure spending as the Democratic nominee.
The Republican nominee, speaking in Des Moines, Iowa, accused Clinton of being “unbalanced” and “unstable”, called her a “dangerous” and “pathological” liar and warned voters in this swing state that a Clinton presidency would lead to “the destruction of this country from within”.
Trump called his Democratic opponent a unsafe liar, an unbalanced person, pretty close to unhinged, totally unfit to lead and lacking the judgment, temperament and moral character to lead the country..
Donald Trump is focusing his economic message on boosting jobs and making America more competitive globally by cutting business taxes, reducing regulations and increasing energy production. In another way, shes a weak person.
The brash billionaire unveiled his plan during a speech in economically depressed Detroit as he resets his campaign and focuses on policies that draw a sharp contrast with his Democratic White House rival Hillary Clinton.
A Clinton aide told the Washington Post that her address will focus on issues such as job creation and higher wages.
Clinton used her rally in St. Petersburg, Florida as an opportunity to savage Trump’s economic plan rollout as his effort to “repackage trickle-down economics”. “He made a deal with the devil”.

“It doesn’t make me feel good when people say those things, and I recognize that I have work to do”, Clinton said. “How do you tolerate his disrespect?” asked Catherine Bryne.
