He "almost killed the Republican Party"

President Trump has intensified his criticism of Paul Ryan, accusing the former Speaker of the House of having almost killed the Republican Party.

Saturday's Trump tweets are the latest in a growing conflict that began last week when excerpts from a forthcoming book showed that the Republican Congress of Wisconsin had left Congress due to its contempt for the commander-in-chief.

"The House Minority Leader, Kevin McCarthy, is a much superior leader to President Paul Lame Duck." Stronger, smarter and better fundraising, Kevin is already approaching $ 44 million. the last year were, according to Breitbart, "Trump said. "People like Paul Ryan have nearly killed the Republican Party – weak, inefficient, and stupid are not exactly the qualities that Republicans or CITIZENS in our country were looking for – at the moment our spirit is at its highest level, much better. than the Radical Left Dems.You will see next year! "

This followed a burst of tweets Thursday late in the evening, Trump had shot Ryan for his unfortunate run as Mitt Romney's vice presidential candidate in the 2012 presidential election and had registered as a congressman.

"Paul Ryan, a vice-president and former House speaker, whose accomplishments were atrocious (except in my first two years as President), has finally become a long-standing failure, leaving his party in the trap both fundraiser & leader, "said Trump in the first of three tweets.

"When Mitt chose Paul, I told people that it was the end of the presidential race.He resigned from Congress because he did not know how to win.They m & # 39; 39 gave up positions in the Wisconsin Grand State and booed him off the stage.He promised me the wall, and failed (goes anyways!), "Trump continued. "He had the majority and had let him down with his bad leadership and bad timing, I never knew how to attack the Dems as they chased us." We could not get him out of Congress soon enough! "

Romney, now senator from Utah, went on to defend Ryan on Friday.

"The blame for our 2012 loss is mine alone; @SpeakerRyan was a tireless advocate, fundraiser, and conservative champion." Only to be able to unite the House, he agreed to become Speaker of Parliament, Romney said. "His selfless leadership and lifelong political work have been critical to the tax and regulatory reform that helped propel the economy forward," reads a follow-up tweet. "A man like Paul Ryan do not come often. "

Ryan ended his 20-year term as a US congressman in January when Democrats took the place of the majority party in the House. The forthcoming book, "American Carnage" by Tim Alberta, indicates that Ryan viewed retirement as a "loophole" to no longer dealing with Trump.

"We are so numb by everything," says Ryan in the book. "Not to the government, but where we live, we have a responsibility to try to rebuild, do not call a woman a" horse face. "Do not cheat on your wife, cheat on anything, be good. give a good example. "

"I figured I should have a relationship with this guy to help him make himself understood," added Ryan. "Because, I'm telling you, he knew nothing about the government … I wanted to scold him all the time."

Ryan said he and the others were working hard to keep Trump from "making bad decisions all the time".

Trump and Ryan shared a fragile dynamic. Ryan cut ties with the then-candidate Trump when Access Hollywood appeared in October 2016. Although Republicans controlled the House and Senate for the first two years of his term, the legislation at some of Trump's largest priority platforms, including the funding of a border wall between the United States and Mexico, has failed to get to his office.

In an interview with the Daily Caller in January, Trump accused Ryan of giving up an agreement to fund the wall built in exchange for a widespread 2018 spending bill.

But Trump has only praise for Ryan when the Wisconsin Republican announced that he would not run for reelection in 2018. "President Paul Ryan is a really good man and even a good guy." he will not seek re-election, he will leave an inheritance that no one can question, we are with you, Paul! " tweeted in April 2018.

Republicans lost control of the House because of the catastrophic mid-term elections of 2018, in which Democrats overturned 40 seats in the lower house.

In "American Carnage", Trump called Ryan "faying Boy Scout".
