Looking to gain an advantage over a divided Republican Party, Donald Trump took to his familiar social media platform to denounce the leadership of House Speaker Paul Ryan and to say that he can fight his kind of fight now that the “shackles have been taken off.”
Given his performance at the presidential debate Sunday night, that may prove to be a good thing for the candidate.
“It is so nice that the shackles have been taken off me and I can now fight for America the way I want to,” Trump tweeted.

Trump was responding to a conference call Ryan held with House Republicans Monday night where the speaker said he will no longer defend Trump following the release of a video capturing the GOP nominee making sexually charged statements about women, The Hill reported.
And the GOP nominee wasn’t too happy, given how he hammered Ryan as a “weak and ineffective leader.”
Despite winning the second debate in a landslide (every poll), it is hard to do well when Paul Ryan and others give zero support!

Our very weak and ineffective leader, Paul Ryan, had a bad conference call where his members went wild at his disloyalty.

In the end, Trump noted that Democrats prove to be far more loyal than Republicans:
With the exception of cheating Bernie out of the nom the Dems have always proven to be far more loyal to each other than the Republicans!

For now, Ryan is staying above the scrum, with a spokesman noting that with four weeks to go before the election, the party would be better served if all involved directed their fire at Democrats, according to The Hill.
“Paul Ryan is focusing the next month on defeating Democrats, and all Republicans running for office should probably do the same,” the spokesman said.
