Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is refusing to back House Speaker Paul D. Ryan in his upcoming primary election, saying in an interview Tuesday that he is “not quite there yet” in endorsing his party’s top-ranking elected official.

Trump also said he was not supporting Sen. John McCain in his primary in Arizona, and he singled out Sen. Kelly Ayotte as a weak and disloyal leader in New Hampshire, a state whose presidential primary Trump won handily.

With Ryan’s Wisconsin primary scheduled for next Tuesday, Trump praised the House speaker’s underdog opponent, Paul Nehlen, for running “a very good campaign.” Trump said that Ryan has sought his endorsement, but that as of now he is only “giving it very serious consideration.”

“I like Paul, but these are horrible times for our country,” Trump said. “We need very strong leadership. We need very, very strong leadership. And I’m just not quite there yet. I’m not quite there yet.”

Trump’s refusal to back Ryan represents an extraordinary breach of political decorum and signals that the Republican Party remains divided two weeks after a national convention in Cleveland staged to showcase party unity.

More quotes:

“[Ryan’s] opponent is a big fan of what I’m saying — big fan,” Trump said. “His opponent, who’s running a very good campaign, obviously, I’ve heard — his opponent sent me a very scholarly and well thought out letter yesterday and all I did was say thank you very much for your very nice letter. You saw my statement.”

Trump continued, “I don’t know Kelly Ayotte. I know she’s given me no support — zero support — and yet I’m leading her in the polls. I’m doing very well in New Hampshire. We need loyal people in this country. We need fighters in this country. We don’t need weak people. We have enough of them. We need fighters in this country. But Kelly Ayotte has given me zero support, and I’m doing great in New Hampshire.”

UPDATE!! Ryan doesn't want his endorsement:

You dumb son of a bitch

 

[gutshot]

Link?

 

[SexyFish]

HE JUST KEEPS DELIVERING.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

And McCain still won't pull his endorsement.

 

[TheCochese]

 

[Omegasquash]

What an egomaniac.

 

[WedgeX]

You dumb son of a bitch

Or clever bastard.

Time for Ryan and McCain to jump ship.

[UltraGunner]

Burn, baby, burn.

 

[Gigglepoo]

Trump really doesn't want to be president, does he?

 

[Mathieran]

Ha you can bet this is because they've made public criticism of him.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Doesn't matter, they will stay silent and let Trump mock them and make them look like fools. Which is really sad to see.

 

[Garlador]

Now they know how Chris Christie felt when he didn't get the VP nod.

 

[Pryce]

If Ryan and McCain had any balls they would tell him to fuck off.

 

[Principate]

Ah yes keep biting that hand that feeds you. You really do reap what you sow, it's even more embarrasing for John McCain.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

This is beautiful.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Trump really is a double agent for the democrats isn't he?

All according to keikaku...

 

[Maniel]

lol

 

[Guevara]

we need strong leadership
very strong leadership
very, very strong leadership

ok?

 

[shadowsdarknes]

Romney and McCain just need to unendorse this guy already.

 

[JoeyJungle]

Can the 2016 election continue forever?

 

[Applesauce]

You think things can't get any better, then they do. The gift that keeps on giving.

 

[Deleted member 1235]

Sometimes i want to beleive Trump is just trolling for laughs, i wish that was it

 

[chefbags]

we need strong leadership
very strong leadership
very, very strong leadership

ok?

Ryan and McCain - ok

 

[Mutanthands]

Wow. Just...

I'm speechless. This is the absolute stupidest thing you could do. The man has a political IQ of zero.

 

[JABEE]

I'm wondering what this means for McCain pulling support. If he did this now, would it be spun as a result of Trump not endorsing him.

 

[Zophar]

 

[valkillmore]

They're doing it to themselves. He's doing it to them. They're doing it to him.

I remember the conspiracy theory months back was that Trump was a Clinton plant to deliver the presidency/Congress to the Dems and Clinton..


Doesn't seem so far fetched now

 

[TS-08]

Isn't "I'm not there yet" basically what Ryan said when asked if he supported Trump a few months back?

 

[banefirelord]

Beautiful.

Amazing. Absolutely amazing. GOP gonna burn.

 

[Aselith]

Ah yes keep biting that hand that feeds you. You really do reap what you sow, it's even more embarrasing for John McCain.

They don't though. They already tried to deep six him and eventually fell in line because they knew it wouldn't do any good. Unfortunately, he shanghaied their party. At this point, he feeds them if anything and he's demonstrating that now.

 

[WeAreStarStuff]

This is amazing. Literally every hour I am astounded by something new from Trump.

 

[Freewheelin']

I'm pretty sure he's actively trying to lose the presidency.

 

[Justin Bailey]

Alright GOP. You know what you need to do now. Go ahead. Do it.

 

[Quixzlizx]

Have any of you considered that maybe Paul Ryan enjoys being a sub? I didn't think so.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Or clever bastard.

Time for Ryan and McCain to jump ship.

But now they can't because it looks like they're listening to Obama.

 

[j_k_redtail]

Indeed.

Play stupid games. Win stupid prizes.

He's a reincarnation of Father Christmas with the exception that he's not a good person and he's a fucking asshole. All he gives is coal mix with shit to give out to everyone who spites him for even one second.

On Ryan's Republican Primary opponent:

Nehlen came to Trump’s defense for his comments about the Khans, for which Trump thanked him in a tweet Monday night. Trump’s shout-out sparked speculation that he might endorse Nehlen.

 

[Slayer-33]

This guy HAS to be a master level plant/troll right? RIGHT? Please I don't know what to think anymore.

This is literally fucking incredible.

 

[giga]

Time to make that Clinton endorsement, John.

 

[The Technomancer]

This is amazing

Or that Trump really is that idiotic.

 

[Tranqueris]

I think so or Ryan and the GOP leadership made some kind of comment about Trump having to clean up his act. Anyway this just another in a massive line of things that proves how petty Trump is. There is no master plan by the Clintons here, this is who Trump really is.

 

[btown]

The absolute madman. This election is incredibly entertaining yet depressing at the same time.
