Trump and Ryan’s Venomous Spat Over Citizenship Intensifies
Flag and Cross ^ | October 31, 2018 | Andrew West

With only six days to go until the midterms, the last thing Paul Ryan wants to do is tick off POTUS.

With a massive migrant caravan forcing the issue to surface in an undeniable way, President Trump has been absolutely fervent regarding immigration as of late.

This should come as no surprise, however, for anyone who paid even the slightest semblance of attention to the 2016 election. President Trump, then a candidate for the republican party, was the only candidate to come out and publicly verbalize the idea of creating a physical, all-encompassing deterrent to illegal immigration upon our southern border. The idea was a huge hit with the GOP base, and likely propelled Trump to the presidency.

Now, after the President made the frankly-worrisome claim about using an executive order to amend the Constitution, Speaker of The House Paul Ryan has again vocalized his disapproval of The Donald’s rhetoric.

The amendment in question concerns birthright citizenship, and the President is fairly sure that Paul Ryan knows nothing about it.

President Donald Trump went after House Speaker Paul Ryan on Wednesday, saying one of the top Republican leaders in the President’s party “knows nothing about” birthright citizenship and “should be focusing on holding the Majority” in the House of Representatives “rather than giving his opinions” on the issue.

He would not be “amending” the constitution. Just enforcing it as written and intended.

It may help educate the public on the issue, and keep it alive in the media.

Trump needs to send Ryan on an emergency top secret diplomatic mission to, oh, say, Liechtenstein

Ryan don’t realized he stepped right in it. Even I know the next line here. “OK, if it’s your job, do it.”

It seems to me that Paul Ryan has been doing everything he can to undermine the Trump agenda ever since the inauguration. IMHO Ryan wants Republicans to lose the House.

Ryan has been undermining Trump since he announced.
All during the campaign and since Inauguration Day.
Ryan is a Cheap Labor Express stooge and has done whatever he could to slow Trump from shutting it down.

Ryan is a quitter. I don’t see why anyone would pay attention to his useless opinion. I sure don’t.

He did no such thing.

The amendment in question concerns birthright citizenship...

The amendment in question concerns extending citizenship to freed slaves.

Who is the putz that wrote this?
