Paul Ryan Begs Republicans Not To Bully Donald Trump

Speaker of the House Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) showed a special level of spinelessness as he begged House Republicans not to bully Trump on his tariffs.

The Washington Post reported, “The morning meeting came as Republican lawmakers grasped for a strategy to persuade Trump to change his mind, with House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (Wis.), who had loudly criticized the plan on Monday, telling members in a closed-door meeting not to bully Trump on the decision. He said it could backfire and make things even worse.”


Republicans know that Trump’s tariff plan is terrible, but they are refusing to stand up to him because they are scared that he will do something even more extreme. Ryan asked Republicans to wreck the economy because they don’t want to make Trump mad. Republicans are afraid that if they make Trump angry, he will do something even more extreme.
.

Without realizing it, Paul Ryan made the perfect argument for a Democratic Congress.

America needs a Congress that will stand up to Trump, and Republicans have shown on a daily basis that they aren’t it.

1. We have GOT to get the House back

and put a stop to this. I know it will mainly result in a different type of gridlock but at least it will put a halt to the nightmare and start the re-stabilization of the legislature.
