WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Paul Ryan says he “laughed out loud” when Donald Trump told the world this week that the Wisconsin Republican needs to get along with him or “pay a big price.”

Ryan tells reporters that he was watching television in his office when Trump made his remark at a press conference Tuesday as he won seven GOP presidential primaries. The real estate magnate has built a decisive lead over his rivals, despite the antagonism of many party leaders.

Ryan says he laughed, adding, “sometimes, reality is stranger than fiction around here these days.”

Trump didn’t specify what he meant by the remark. Ryan says he doesn’t know Trump well but that would change should Trump become the nominee.

The House speaker adds that he’s “a good natured guy,” and gets along with everybody.
