House Speaker Paul Ryan drove another wedge between himself and Donald Trump on Tuesday with a stinging rebuke of his party's presumptive presidential nominee's proposed pause on non-citizen Muslim immigration – saying 'Muslims are our partners' in the war on terror.
'I do not think a Muslim ban is in our country's interest,' Ryan said during a press conference at the Republican National Committee's Capitol Hill headquarters.
'I do not think it is reflective of our principles – not just as a party, but as a country,' he said. 'And I think the smarter way to go in all respects is to have a security test, not a religious test.'
Ryan's comments came just a day after Trump seemed to walk back his December 2015 notion of a religious test for entry into the U.S. until homeland security officials can get a handle on the potential for terrorist infiltration.
Instead he shifted to the idea of nation-specific immigration limits tied to terrorism incidents.
'The immigration laws of the United States give the president powers to suspend entry into the country of any class of persons,' Trump said during a speech in Manchester, New Hampshire, saying such judgments are 'to be determined by the president for the interests of the United States. And it’s as he or she deems appropriate.'
'I will use this power to protect the American people,' he continued. 'When I’m elected I will suspend immigration from areas of the world where there’s a proven history of terrorism against the United States, Europe or our allies until we fully understand how to end these threats.'
Ryan's tone emphasized the cooperation the U.S. receives from more moderate Muslim governments around the world.
'This is a war with radical Islam. It is not a war with Islam,' the speaker said.

The May, 2016 polls have Ryan up by more than fifty per cent. Amazing, has anyone seen any June polls to determine if there has been any erosion? A fifty point margin indicates that his district is unassailable in the Republican primary, unfortunately.
Only if Ryan has a mouse in his pocket. They are not my partners.
I’ve said it before. When this happens, all I want is the ox-cart concession.
WTF is his deal? If you don’t agree with what Trump said, then shut up. Does Ryan want Trump to lose?
Ryan is a very weak man and needs to be replaced.
