Paul Ryan replies to Lyin Don: I Never Asked For Trump’s Endorsement

After Trump refuses to endorse Paul Ryan in GOP primary: ‘I’m just not quite there yet’ Ryan responds to Trump's claim that he "sought his endorsement":
The Republican speaker of the House is, for all intents and purposes, calling the Republican presidential nominee a liar.
[...]
The speaker’s office delivered a swift and forceful response “Neither Speaker Ryan nor anyone on his team has ever asked for Donald Trump’s endorsement,” Zack Roday, Ryan’s campaign spokesman, said in a statement. “And we are confident in a victory next week regardless.”
Indeed, it would be highly unusual for Ryan to solicit Trump’s endorsement — not just because of their many political differences, but because Ryan doesn’t need Trump’s help to win his district.

The lies are endless. I don't even think Donald knows he's doing it, because he's a psychopath.

Today, he is repeating the lie he told yesterday about a tape of a plane delivering cash to Iranians. His own campaign said it's not true, (of course it's not) yet it makes a good story or something, so Donald just plows ahead.

I have to snicker at this, but it's also dangerous. He is mentally unstable, to put things kindly.
