Paul Ryan: Not publicly confronting Trump helped to avoid 'tragedy'

House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., has no regrets about how he has dealt with President Trump, claiming he has circumvented “tragedy” by privately providing the president with feedback rather than clashing with him in public.

“I can look myself in the mirror at the end of the day and say I avoided that tragedy, I avoided that tragedy, I avoided that tragedy,” Ryan said during an interview with the New York Times Magazine published Tuesday. “I advanced this goal, I advanced this goal, I advanced this goal.”
