I think this is just Ryan responding to a reporter’s question, and the press then trying to turn it into a controversy or some slam on Trump. Its not like Ryan put out a press release. The response seems appropriate. I’m sure Trump would have said the same thing. Don’t let the press get people stirred up over nothing.

Exactly. There will be specific differences between countries but that doesn't mean Australia is not an ally of the US. The MSM is intentionally trying to stir up trouble. It is what they do.

Ryan’s job is to legislate. He should stick with that.

Why are you here? Just to try to poke us with a stick? Go on over to National Review or some other loser site where all of you butt hurt never Trumpers can rub some soothing balm over each others irritated butt holes. You know, I bet you would really enjoy that!

Shouldn’t you be on DU? As I recall, you support open borders & illegal aliens. You admitted that during the primaries, did you not?

What Ryan has to say about anything is just Ryan farting out his mouth on issues he has no impact on or control over.

So if someone had stuck a microphone in your face today and said “are we still friends and allies with Australia” your answer would have been what?

It certainly wouldn’t have been that our President has a personality disorder, as you replied.

Well, Paul Ryan said “yes” and fifty Freepers are ready to castrate him for it. That seems pretty stupid.

Do you have a rational explanation for Trump’s conversation with the Australian PM that does not implicate Trump’s personality?

Do you have anything favorable at all to say about your President?

He is making the Left lose their minds.

The prime minister wouldn’t tell Sydney radio Macquarie Radio whether Mr Trump had labelled the deal dumb or otherwise in their phone conversation on Sunday, but has denied reports the call ended abruptly or in anger.’I want to make one observation about it, the report the president hung up is not correct, the call ended courteously,’ he said. - See more at: http://www.skynews.com.au/news/politics/international/2017/02/02/turnbull-denies-trump—hang-up-.html#sthash.nB2Xelme.dpuf
