“We’re working on the same plan,” Ryan said during an interview airing Thursday evening on Fox News's "Hannity."

The GOP leader's comments came hours after Trump helmed a sprawling press conference at the White House during which he slammed media coverage of several controversies surrounding his administration and dismissed reports of turmoil.

Trump insisted that his administration was "running like a fine-tuned machine" and called last month's rocky rollout of his travel ban "perfect." Trump also defended his decision Monday to fire his national security adviser, Michael Flynn, after reports that Flynn misled senior White House officials about a phone call with Russia's U.S. ambassador.

Despite the media spectacle, Ryan argued that Trump has been refreshing to conservatives who could not accomplish their goals under former President Barack Obama Barack Hussein ObamaThe Hill's 12:30 Report - Presented by Facebook - Don't expect a government check anytime soon Trump appointees stymie recommendations to boost minority voting: report Obama's first presidential memoir, 'A Promised Land,' set for November release MORE.

“He likes getting stuff done, and I love that about him," Ryan said.

"We’ve been waiting for this for a long time. Those of who have been conservatives pent up here fighting the Obama administration, the progressive left, he is a conservative and he is ready to take on these challenges, so that is what I’m excited about. He moves so fast that people are scrambling to catch up.”

Ryan said the GOP is not rethinking its pledge to repeal and replace ObamaCare, adding Trump’s new Health and Human Services secretary, Tom Price, will help them tackle the healthcare law.

“The plan … is repeal and replace this law like we said. We ran on a plan to repeal and replace. Tom Price helped write that plan. He is now Donald Trump’s secretary of Health.”

Trump and GOP leaders on Capitol Hill have promised that 2017 will bring the repeal and replacement of ObamaCare, a long-awaited overhaul of the tax code and funding for a physical wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

But Trump’s agenda with the first GOP-led Congress in a decade is moving slower than anticipated since his Jan. 20 inauguration, with Trump blasting Democrats for slowing the confirmation of his Cabinet nominees and the White House struggling with its message.
