It didn't take long for Donald Trump to respond to comments House Speaker Paul Ryan made Thursday regarding supporting the presumptive Republican nominee.
Ryan told CNN's Jake Tapper he is "not ready" to endorse Trump, and there's "some work to be done" before such an endorsement could happen. Trump quickly released a statement saying he is "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!"
