House Speaker Paul Ryan says he disagrees with President Donald Trump’s assessment that former FBI Director James Comey is a “nut job.”
Ryan tells the Axios website, “Yeah, I don’t agree with that. And he’s not.”
The New York Times reported last week that Trump told Russian diplomats that firing “nut job” Comey had relieved “great pressure” on him.
The White House has said Comey’s firing was unrelated to the FBI’s Russia investigation.
Ryan, who’s frequently disagreed with the president, says he works well with Trump and that Trump’s best quality is “his energy and his engagement.
The Wisconsin Republican says when Trump “sees a goal he wants to achieve — health care is a perfect example — he just focuses on it. He has no pretension about him.”

From AP Treif Bakery Fake News:
Ryan, is another Republican by name only but a Dem Loony by heart. President Trump’s using the term “nut job” is more Fakestream News without any proof!!! Although nobody can deny that Comey the Crook is a real nut job, this is CLEARLY another smear on President Trump. There are NO video clips nor tweets of him saying it. They claim their assertions come from “A DOCUMENT THEY DON’T HAVE”. They also said that Trump claimed that firing Comey eased pressure on his ability to conduct foreign policy. Total bogus!
