Trump: Maybe Ryan won't be Speaker if I win White House

Donald Trump on Tuesday blasted Speaker Paul Ryan in an interview with "The O'Reilly Factor," stating that he no longer wants the Wisconsin Republican's support.

When asked if he thinks establishment Republicans, including Ryan, will support him as president if he’s elected, Trump said yes while speculating about the speaker's future. “They’ll be there. I would think that Ryan maybe wouldn’t be there, maybe he’ll be in a different position."

“The fact is, I think we should get support and we don’t get the support from guys like Paul Ryan,” the GOP presidential nominee said Tuesday night on Fox News.

“He had a conference call yesterday with congressmen with hundreds of them and they practically rioted against him on the phone. One person stuck up for him. So I’m just tired of nonsupport and I don’t really want his support.”
