Donald Trump once asked Paul Ryan 'Why can't you be loyal to your president, Paul?', new book says

President Donald Trump once savaged then-House Speaker Paul Ryan in an angry phone call, questioning his loyalty and telling him "Democrats have been kicking your a-- for decades," a new book about the Trump White House says.

The Washington Post, which got an advance copy of “Team of Vipers" by Cliff Sims, detailed the angry call, which occurred after Ryan criticized Trump's handling of the deadly 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville.

Trump held the remote control “like a pistol” and yelled for an assistant to get the Ryan on the phone, according to the account.

"Paul, do you know why Democrats have been kicking your a-- for decades? Because they know a little word called 'loyalty,'" Trump reportedly told Ryan. "Why do you think Nancy [Pelosi] has held on this long? Have you seen her? She’s a disaster. Every time she opens her mouth another Republican gets elected. But they stick with her."

He added,?"Why can’t you be loyal to your president, Paul?"
