Former President Donald Trump criticized the Ronald Reagan Library for hosting the “RINO” former House Speaker Paul Ryan in two Friday statements.

Trump issued two statements saying that former President Ronald Reagan would “not be happy” that the Reagan library is run by the Washington Post’s Fred Ryan. A separate statement called Paul Ryan a “Republican In Name Only” (RINO) for criticizing Trump in a speech at the Reagan library’s “Time For Choosing Speaker” series Thursday evening.

“Ronald Reagan would not be happy to see that the Reagan Library is run by the head of the Washington Post, Fred Ryan. How the hell did that happen? No wonder they consistently have RINO speakers like Karl Rove and Paul Ryan,” the first statement said. “They do nothing for our forward-surging Republican Party!”

Trump said Ryan is a “curse” to the Republican Party and fights fellow GOP members rather than the Democrats in his second statement.
