After Ryan criticized the idea on air and Trump tweeted a retort, the two “had a heated phone conversation. Why are you popping me? Ryan asked the president. Because you just did it to me! Trump responded.”

When Ryan announced a year and a half later that he wouldn’t run for re-election, Jake and Anna write: “You couldn’t help but get the sense … that Ryan was just tired of Donald Trump. Couldn’t-take-it-anymore tired.”

At one point, “The president blew up at Ryan, angry he had not gotten enough money for his border wall. He asked the Speaker if he could move money from military spending on things like fighter jets to be spent on a wall. ‘You can’t do that,’ Ryan told him.”
