BOOK: Ryan Researched Dealing with Narcissists After Trump Won
Then-House Speaker Paul Ryan started studying how to interact with people with narcissistic personality disorder after Donald Trump won the 2016 election, according to a new book by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa.
According to the book, Ryan was caught off guard when Trump won the election in an enormous upset over Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
Republicans controlled the House and Senate, and Ryan, realizing that he would have to work with Trump, started researching how to deal with someone who is "amoral and transactional," the book says.

Paul Ryan butted heads with Trump after he publicly defended the neo-Nazis who sparked a deadly riot in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017. "We must be clear," Ryan tweeted after the riot. "White supremacy is repulsive. This bigotry is counter to all this country stands for. There can be no moral ambiguity." According to Peril, Trump called Ryan afterward and blew up at him over the statement, shouting, "You're not in the foxhole with me!"
"Are you finished," Ryan reportedly yelled back. "May I have some time to speak now? You're the president of the United States. You have a moral leadership obligation to get this right and not declare there is a moral equivalency here." But Trump refused to back down, saying, "These people love me. These are my people. I can't backstab the people who support me," according to the book.

I have a little respect for Paul Ryan now. But he really should have done more to censor Trump's lunatic rants as House Speaker, Congress is there to keep the POTUS in check.
