As former President Trump continues his bid for reelection, more people in the Republican Party are speaking out against him. GOP candidates Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, and Chris Christie have all given their own reasons for why Trump isn't fit.

The conservative case against Trump

DeSantis pointed out Trump's old age, stating the US presidency isn't a job for someone pushing 80. The Florida governor also pointed to Trump's failure to follow through on promises he made to conservatives, such as building the border wall.

Haley, meanwhile, has warned of the "chaos" that frequently surrounds Trump. In doing so, the former UN ambassador said Republicans can't fix chaos with more chaos and need a "landslide" victory that includes winning the popular vote.

Likewise, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has made going after Trump a central theme of his campaign. Christie maintains that the former president is not just undignified with unbecoming conduct, but also a danger to America itself.

The Republican believes if Trump ever managed to get back in the White House, he'd routinely break the law and fill his administration with "deranged sycophants."

Now joining in on the backlash against Trump is former House Speaker Paul Ryan.

Ryan on Trump's current bid for reelection

During a sitdown with Teneo Political Risk Advisory, the former House Speaker made it clear he's got no love lost for Trump. Ryan denounced the former president as a "narcissist" with "authoritarian" and "populist" tendencies.

He also asserted Trump isn't at all a conservative.

In further remarks, Ryan said Trump doesn't think about politics from a liberal vs. conservative point of view. Instead, the former House Speaker believes Trump adheres to whatever will increase his popularity and make him feel good.

The former president's supporters often point to his perceived popularity within the GOP. However, Ryan simply attributed this to Trump taking on culture war issues that appeal to conservatives with more populist leanings.

Before Ryan departed Congress in 2019, he and Trump maintained a friendly political alliance. That's since fallen apart, as the 45th president and his supporters often deem the former House Speaker as a "RINO (Republican in Name Only)."
