Coulter said last month thatTrump'spresidency would be a "joke" if he gave in to Democrats by signing government funding legislation that didn't includemoneyto construct a wall along the U.S.-Mexican border.

Trump will just have been a joke presidency who scammed the American people, amused the populists for a while, but hell have no legacy whatsoever," she said in apodcast interview withThe Daily Calleron Dec. 19, adding that she would not vote for Trump in 2020 if no progress was made on his campaign promise to build a border wall.

Trump later that week said he would not sign a funding bill that didn't include $5 billion for a wall along the southern border.

That impasse with Democrats led to a partial government shutdown that has now lasted 25 days, making it the longest in U.S. history.

Coulter commended Trump this monthfor his willingness to shut down the government over his wall demand.

"Though dont worry, hell fold in the end," Coulter predicted while speaking onthe "Mark Simone Show" on710 WOR in New York.

House Democrats have passed a series of spending bills to reopen and fund most of the shuttered government agencies through Sept. 30. Those bills also would provide funding for the Department of Homeland Security through Feb. 8 to allow more time for wall negotiations.
