On Tuesday, Trump said in an interview with Reuters people are "very angry" with the leadership of the Republican Party.

"Because this is an election that we will win, 100 percent, if we had support from the top,” he said. "I think we're going to win it anyway."

Trump went on the attack against Ryan after the Speaker earlier this month said he wold no longer campaign with or defend Trump after fallout from a 2005 tape of Trump talking lewdly about women. Ryan said on a conference call at the time that members should do whatever they need to win reelection. A spokeswoman for Ryan, AshLee Strong, told the Times that Ryan is "fighting to ensure we hold a strong majority next Congress and that he is always working to earn the respect and support of his colleagues."

In March, Trump issued a similar warning after Ryan repudiated him for not strongly disavowing white supremacist David Duke's support.
