Ann Coulter is sick of Trump melodrama and would dump him for Pence if he vowed to build the wall

BRAD REED
16 JUN 2017 AT 14:17 ET

Longtime Trump backer Ann Coulter is getting tired of the president’s inability to avoid needless drama and controversy — especially because it seems to be distracting him from building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

In series of tweets on Friday afternoon, Coulter fumed that Trump keeps finding himself mired in scandals of his own making while at the same time neglecting one of his top campaign promises — the border wall.

“This daily Trump melodrama is worth it ONLY if he’s really going to build the wall, cut off Muslim refugees and deport illegals,” she wrote.




She then wrote a blistering assessment of Trump’s progress on building the border wall so far.

“Today’s BORDER WALL CONSTRUCTION UPDATE: Miles completed yesterday–Zero; Miles completed since Inauguration–Zero,” she wrote. “Anyone in a Southwestern state who strolls to the border & drops a brick will have done more to build the wall than (President Trump).”

trump got were from people who really hate brown, Muslim, Latino, black people and vote for trump as a way to express that hate.

If he can go on full hate mode and destroy the lives of millions of them, then fine, if not, they will find someone who can.

I guess loyalty only takes you so far.

Just call me Nancy Pelosi, I don't give a rat's ass what any of them are saying.
Ann Coulter is irrelevant, and so is Newt Gingrich.

Anyone in a Southwestern state who strolls to the border & drops a brick will have done more to build the wall than @realDonaldTrump.

principled person to vocalize the worry that their great movement could founder and is much bigger than any one leader. How long until she stops rallying around The Wall and starts quoting TPer's Pence's reminder that he "was the Freedom Caucus" before there was a Freedom Caucus?

And, anyway, with Coulter's personal brand faltering, a rebrand there too is definitely in order.

But I'm shocked that, of all Trump's dumb and racist ideas, she would tie herself to The Wall, which is absolutely THE dumbest idea of them all. An idea so stupid that no one with a mindful third-grade education would ever take it seriously.

I mean, she could say that Trump isn't cutting taxes fast enough. He's not making those stifling corporate regulations more friendly to American business. He's not beefing up our military to show the rest of the world how powerful we are and not to mess with us. She could be hitching her creaky wagon to a thousand Republican canards to express her displeasure with Trump. But she goes with The Wall.

She's weird.

I'd heard her support was way down, so my best guess was that she's noting an unfilled visceral craving for a solid southern wall against brownness, an permanent 2,000-mile racist insult, that she could use to pump up her brand once again.

When you think about it, that's probably right. It's just appealing to fear and bigotry, the wall's a real, insulting thing simple minds can understand, and Rump's rather distracted these days.

Newsflash to you, Ann: President Pence isn't going to be doing much once we get a Democratic Congress in 2018. He'll find the residual Trump stench impossible to get out and Americans won't forget too easily who brought him in.

You're never getting your stupid wall or Muslim ban. No soup for you. NEXT!

Wonder if that residual stench of unacknowledged and thus unburied shame could finally cause moderate conservatives to back away.

An intentional caricature of her worst attributes. She can't change how vile she is, so she celebrates it.

I thought she found it humorous to watch libruls get all pissed off by whatever shenanigans Trump was indulging in. Now even she has gotten tired of the endless nonsense. Go drop a brick, Ann.
