Donald Trump to Paul Ryan: Right Back At 'Ya, Buddy
Donald Trump responds to Paul Ryan when Ryan went public saying he wasn't ready to support the presumptive GOP nominee
It's the kind of heightened political drama we haven't seen in a long time: two people at the top of their political party — who aren't vying for the same seat in election — openly sparring in public.
On Thursday, House Speaker Paul Ryan, the country's highest-ranking Republican in office, said he is "not ready" to endorse Donald Trump for a potential GOP presidential nomination.
"I hope to support our nominee," Ryan said on CNN. "I'm just not there right now. We have work to do. Our nominee has work to do."

Trump fired right back, issuing this statement:
"I am not ready to support Speaker Ryan's agenda. Perhaps in the future we can work together and come to an agreement about what is best for the American people. They have been treated so badly for so long that it is about time for politicians to put them first!"
