The Wisconsin Republican began a write-up featured in Time magazine for the "100 Most Influential People" by touting Trump's win in the 2016 presidential election.

"When so many, including me at times, didn't see how he could pull it off, Donald Trump won a historic victory," Ryan said.

"And in becoming the 45th President of the United States, he completely rewrote the rules of politics and reset the course of this country."

Ryan referred to Trump as a businessman who is "always willing to challenge convention." The Speaker said the president has "shaken up Washington and laid out an agenda of generational proportions."

"Never afraid of a battle, he has made it his mission to fight for those who feel forgotten," Ryan added.

"Where others would pivot, he stays true to who he is. Where others would turn back, he forges ahead."

Ryan wrote he has learned Trump is "driven" and has the potential to "become a truly transformational American figure."

"I have little doubt that he will, once again, find a way to defy the odds," Ryan wrote, "and get it done."

The comments come as Trump is approaching his 100th day in office. During the beginning of his presidency, Trump has struggled to uphold some of his campaign promises, including his pledge to repeal and replace ObamaCare.
