Donald Trump told ABC News that Speaker Paul Ryan does not want a President Trump because of his own political ambitions in 2020.
Said Trump: “Well, maybe not, because maybe he wants to run in four years or maybe he doesn’t know how to win.”
He added: “Well, I don’t want to be knocking Paul Ryan. I think he could be more supportive to the Republican nominee.”
