Trump called Ryan shortly after the then-House Speaker sent out a
tweet condemning white supremacists in the summer of 2017.

Ryan tried to explain to Trump that, as president of the United States,
he had a duty to condemn neo-Nazis -- but Trump wouldn't hear of it.

"These people love me," Trump told Ryan, according to Woodward and
Costa. "These are my people. I can't backstab the people who support me."

Trump infamously claimed after the 2017 "Unite the Right" rally that
there were some "very fine people" attending, even though the rally was explicitly marketed as a white nationalist event that featured men
carrying tiki torches and chanting, "Jews will not replace us!"

When Ryan confronted Trump over this, the former president reportedly
doubled down.

"Well, yeah, there's some bad people," Trump said about the neo-Nazis.
"I get that. I'm not for that. I'm against all that. But there's some of
those people who are for me. Some of them are good people."
