Donald Trump hit back at House Speaker Paul Ryan on Monday, just hours after the Wisconsin Republican advised his congressional colleagues to “do what’s best” for them in their districts and said he would no longer defend the GOP presidential nominee.

“Paul Ryan should spend more time on balancing the budget, jobs and illegal immigration and not waste his time on fighting the Republican nominee,” Trump tweeted to his 12 million followers.
