Trump didn’t stop there, the Republican nominee tweeted a positive message to Ryan’s primary challenger, Paul Nehlen.
Eric Trump added Tuesday that Pat Smith, the mother of a Benghazi attack victim who is highly critical of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, has not received the same amount of airtime as the Khan family. “He should be trying to unify this party that is his role”, Nehlen said, according to a transcript of the interview. The article notes, however, that “they were not sent by Trump”.
Meanwhile, President Obama kept alive the controversy over Trump’s criticisms of a Gold Star family by calling him “unfit” for the White House.
Christie, the New Jersey governor, continues to be one of Trump’s biggest supporters. Now that nominee has publicly humiliated Ryan by refusing to endorse the speaker back. Sad! John McCain of Arizona in their GOP primaries. ‘I was stunned by the callousness of his comments, ‘ Mr. Hanna said. If he gave me his endorsement, I’d be flattered by it.
Pence says that he spoke with Trump Wednesday morning about his “support for Paul Ryan and our longtime friendship”.
“You know, Ronald Reagan’s 11th commandment”, he said, which is that thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican. I want to thank everyone for your tremendous support.
“I think Paul Ryan is soon to be ‘Cantored, ‘ as in Eric Cantor”, Palin said, inferring Ryan would be replaced with a Tea Party favorite like former Rep. Eric Cantor.
Trump’s rebuke to Ryan carried particular derision.
‘Why are you still endorsing him?’ Trump’s phrasing of his uncertainty about Ryan – “I’m just not quite there yet” – echoes what Ryan told CNN’s Jake Tapper in a May interview about endorsing Trump: “I’m just not ready to do that at this point”.
Trump said, “I like Paul, but these are terrible times for our country”. “The only need we have for an intervention is maybe with some media types who keep saying things that aren’t true”. “We have a very, very busy schedule”.
“I’m just not quite there yet”, Trump said of backing Ryan. “I’m not quite there yet”.
Despite the rift, Pence told Fox News the Trump campaign is “totally focused on strengthening America at home and overseas”.
“I was viciously attacked on the stage, and I have a right to answer back”.
Top party leaders including Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell are feeling the pressure.
Ryan had released a strongly worded statement over the weekend that again rejected Trump’s plan, which he has since toned down, to indefinitely bar all Muslims from entering the US.
The break followed days of dispute between Trump and the parents of a Muslim U.S. Army officer killed in the Iraq war, that has fueled fresh unease among many Republicans over the NY businessman’s policies and style.

“My pleasure, Sir”, he wrote. Trump said in an interview with The Washington Post Tuesday that he won’t support either Ryan or Senator John McCain in their primaries, a move seen as poor etiquette considering that Ryan supports Trump as the party’s nominee.
