Paul Ryan, the Pee Wee Herman of American politics, welched on a deal with Trump whereby the now former House Squeeker, er, Speaker promised to get funding for the border wall in exchange for Trumpelstiltskin signing the $1.3 trillion Omnibus of 2018.
According to the Daily Caller article:
"Well, I was going to veto the omnibus bill and Paul told me in the strongest of language, ‘Please don’t do that, we’ll get you the wall.’ And I said, ‘I hope you mean that, because I don’t like this bill,’†the president recounted in an exclusive Wednesday interview with The Daily Caller.
"Paul told me in the strongest of terms that, ‘please sign this and if you sign this we will get you that wall.’ Which is desperately needed by our country. Humanitarian crisis, trafficking, drugs, you know, everything — people, criminals, gangs, so, you know, we need the wall.â€
"And then he went lame duck,†Trump said.
Now, it is possible Trump is lying but I don't think so; he signed that bill with no enthusiasm whatsoever, and said it was "the last time". Clearly there was a reason for Trump to sign it. Ryan, on the other hand, has always been in favor of open borders and cheap labor courtesy of his paymasters at the Estados Unidos Cámara de Comercio, er, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Ryan has proven a duplicitous weasel and I am glad he never ascended to the Vice Presidency. He is the worst of swamp creatures.
Frankly, I would like to see men like Ryan punished when they get out of office. Now they go on to lucrative lobbying jobs, or jobs in the media or academia, and they make out far better than the average American. It's time for these people to learn they can't knife America in the back and get away with it. Were I The Donald I would send friendly little notes to anyone trying to hire, say, Ryan and warn them that they would get no favors from me while I was in office. But that's just me.
Frankly, we should get all the caballeros who show up at the border with these caravans and plant them in Ryan's front yard. Start a tent city there. Maybe then he'll have a different attitude.
