House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) praised President Trump's "tremendous compassion" for disaster victims on Saturday when asked about the White House's hurricane relief efforts.

Speaking to MSNBC, Ryan told host Hugh Hewitt that Trump is doing what he can to avoid "jeopardizing" relief efforts with his visits to affected areas.

"I have talked to him about these things. He has tremendous compassion," Ryan said Saturday morning. "He is flying to these emergencies as soon as he can without jeopardizing responses. He is stopping what he's doing. We have talked about the supplementals, these issues. The people who are suffering from these tragedies are in his mind front and center," Ryan added.

Trump has faced criticism from Democrats and members of the media for his remarks and his handling of Puerto Rico's hurricane recovery efforts. On Friday, "Hamilton" creator Lin-Manuel Miranda blasted the president for "adding insult to injury" with his visit to the island after a tweet that suggested Puerto Rican leaders aren't doing enough to help themselves in the recovery.

No doubt there's a copy of Atlas Shrugged in his bathroom stall.

[Achilleaze]

2. Why does ryan have to lie about this?

Have republicans, at last, no sense of decency?

[rzemanfl]

4. I had to work my way out of the pile of beautiful naked women here worshiping

my tremendous sexual prowess to say-bullshit.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

29. Stumbled onto the set of Fox News, did you?

[rzemanfl]

33. Don't think so. They weren't all white women. n/t

[Scarsdale]

34. Is this you

Jefferson Beauregard Sessions, you little devil you??

[rzemanfl]

40. No, he is at his part-time job at Keebler. n/t

[Blue_Adept]

5. Come on, Ryan, try for a less obvious lie sometime.

[ashredux]

6. Ryan is tainted with Russian money .....he and many of the GOP

follow the money

[nocalflea]

7. The credibility gap just keeps growing.

Ryan really is an idiot.

[Zambero]

18. A dull tool

Results speak louder than words.

[dalton99a]

8. The tremendous compassion of a sociopath

[hedda_foil]

38. It takes one to know one.

[Bob Loblaw]

9. I submit the possibility

that Ryan's a moron too. Is it just me?

[Scarsdale]

35. Nah, he proves it

on a regular basis.

[MrModerate]

10. They're trying to say that Trump gives a damn . . .

About something that doesn't have his name plastered on it in cheap gold paint?

I ain't buyin'.

[heaven05]

11. Speaker ryan

is full of shit, just like his 'supreme leader'. They fool only people who will buy into these lies....about 66million and that number is dropping...fast.....

[bullimiami]

12. Ryan. The Emporers new clothes are tremendous, amazing.

[C_U_L8R]

[Ray Bruns]

14. Donald Trump is the most intelligent, compassionate, caring,

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
I couldn't keep that going with a straight face. I don't know how lying Ryan does it.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

15. Ryan couldn't identify compassion if it bit him in the ass!

[ananda]

16. I take words like tremendous ..

.. to be code for none at all.

[Zambero]

17. Tremendously fake compassion

Actual widespread results in the form of food, potable water, restoration of power, and evacuation assistance have not been demonstrated on the basis of Ryan's Trumpian style superlatives, let alone Trump's disrespectful gaffes toward hurricane victims.

[Liberalagogo]

19. 'Tremdous Compassion'

What an odd way to say "my tongue in his ass".

[Plucketeer]

20. I'd LOVE to know

just how many times Ryan has referred to Trump as a "moron" - or worse. Ryan likely uses fecal discharge as toothpaste. That would explain everything he says, smelling like shit.

[Shrike47]

21. He's lying, we know he's lying and he knows we know he's lying.

Maybe he's trying to curry favor and avoid a primary challenge in his home district next spring.

[Scarsdale]

36. There is a democratic

contender trying to replace him. One the gerrymandering is struck down, he can join his arrogant buddy Eric Cantor in retirement.

[usaf-vet]

22. BULLS**T!

23. Ryan's 'tremendous compassion'

39. Notice the pristine apron without a splash or stain on it.

He belongs in Hollywood with his great acting skills. Not. I guess he thought those turned back cuffs on his Brooks Brothers shirt would convince us he really did have his hands in the Palmolive.

[PatSeg]

24. My god

And he said that with a straight face? Guess the man has lost any human dignity he might have had left. I strongly disagree with most republican politicians, but I thought some of them might be principled human beings on some level.

[Maxheader]

25. All these

gop lapdogs get a date with cheetos
daughter if they say something nice
about dementia boy.

[Scarsdale]

37. Either that, or

the next "best" thing, one of those inflatable sex dolls that look just like her.

[LiberalLovinLug]

26. Now they are all starting to talk like Trump

He has tremendous compassion
He has the best compassion
You've never seen such incredible compassion, believe me.
Everyone is talking about this guy with this amazing compassion. Its incredible I tell ya

[truthisfreedom]

27. He's got as much compassion as triumph the insult dog.

[6000eliot]

31. His heart's in the right place.

His chest.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

32. Examples of Trump-Randian compassion..

1. Refuse to rent homes to people of color.
2. Skim money off the top of charity events.
3. Insult women in beauty pageants (or almost anywhere, for that matter).
4. Insult people with disabilities.
5. Insult non-Christian religious folks.
6. Throw paper towels to people in desperate need for food and water.
7. Refuse to pay small construction contractors for work completed.
8. Cut funding for food stamps and women's health.

The list could go on forever.
