I think Ryan must have noticed his tanking poll numbers and is speaking up now to try to reverse the trend.

Paul Ryan wanted to promote himself, although he makes it look like he is supporting Trump which was not very convincing.
The article mentions that “Ryan repeated his disagreements with Trump on the Muslim ban” which Ryan did not get right (instead he repeated MSM talking points).
This is the website he was promoting with his ideas, not the republican platform, or Trump’s policies.
