Conservative author Ann Coulter was one of the most vocal supporters of Donald Trump during the presidential campaign.
She wrote In Trump We Trust and proclaimed thatshe worships him like the people of North Korea worship their Dear Leader blind loyalty.
Coulter described herself as a single-issue voter during the election and was drawn to Trump due to his Mexican rapist speech and him calling for a borderwall to be built.
In an interview Sunday with The Daily Caller, Coulter let it be known she still has hope in theTrump presidency, but is ready to jump ship.
So theres no wall, and Obamas amnesties look like they are here to stay. Do you still trust Trump?
Uhhhh. Im not very happy with what has happened so far. I guess we have to try to push him to keep his promises. But this isnt North Korea, and if he doesnt keep his promises Im out. This is why we voted for him. I think everyone who voted for him knew his personality was grotesque, it was the issues.
I hate to say it, but I agree with every line in my friend Frank Brunis op-ed in The New York Times today. Where is the great negotiation? Where is the bull in the china shop we wanted? That budget the Republicans pushed through was like a practical joke Did we win anything? And this is the great negotiator?
You said during the election and in columns that if there is no wall its the end of America.
Trump was our last shot. I kind of thought it was Romney, and then lo and behold like a miracle Trump comes along. I still believe in Trumpism. I have no regrets for ferociously supporting him. What choice did we have?
We had no choice. Yeah, I mean, my fingers are still crossed. Its not like Im out yet, but boy, things dont look good. Ive said to other people, its as if were in Chicago and Trump tells us hes going to get us to LA in six days. But for the first three days we are driving towards New York. Yes, it is true he can still turn around and get us to LA in three days, but Im a little nervous.
Whats behind him driving towards New York?
If he grabs the steering wheel and turns around and takes us toward LA, then Ill just put it down to him not being a professional politician and having to come into the presidency with no support network, with all of official Washington against him.
I have from the beginning been opposed to Trumphiring any of his relatives. Americans dont like that, I dont like that. Thats the one fascist thing hes done. Hiring his kids.
But I understand if youre in Washington you dont know who to trust, the party was against you, the politicians wereagainst you, the bureaucracy wasagainst you, and by the waythis isnt to say anything bad about Jared. Everything I know about him, I think hes doing a great job. But even if he is absolutely the best person for the job, I dont like the hiring of relatives.
I couldunderstand all that if he gets control ofthe steering wheel and turns around and starts going towards LA.
If we just keep going to New York. Well again, Ill say we had no choice, but the Trump-haters were rightIts a nightmare. I cant even contemplate that. Right now Im still rootingfor him to turn aroundand take us towardLA.
Are you going to be apologizing to these Never Trumpers?
I dont apologize for supporting Trump. He said all the right things and nobody else would even say it. I suppose its possible that another politician whoreally meantit would come along. Theres Kris Kobach, Tom Cotton, Jeff Sessionsthere are probably a handful of politicians.
I got to tell you when I wrote Adios America I thought there was a 10percent chance of saving the country. On the evening of November 8, I thought, Wowwe have a 90 percent chance now, this is a chance that comes a long once every thousand years, we can save America now.
And now, I dont know, Im someplace between 10 percent and 90 percent.
How much blame does congressional leadership deserve?
I do, of course, blame Congress most of all. They are swine. They only care about their own careers. Who knows how much of it is corruption and how much of it is pure stupidity? People should start sending Paul Ryan bricks to indicate how much we want the wall.
They are the opposition party to Donald Trump. This is really something weve never seen before. The president stands alone, its his own political party, hes Gary Cooper. All we have is millions of Americans behind him, but he doesnt have anybody in Washington behind him.
During the campaign you said you would have to start writing mystery books if Hillary Clinton won. Are you preparing to start writing these?
No. But I must say Ive been contemplating it a bitmore. You cant give up yet. We have to keep Trumps feet to the fire. Its weird because I really think in his heart hes a genuine patriot.
Its just that it has been such a disaster so far, and that General Kelly is so preposterous, and McMaster did you see him at that press conference? I thought he was retarded. You have to link to that video.
Ive never actually heard anyone other than liberals mocking their idea of a stupid Republican say, Murica.
WATCH:
[Trump] might not have realized how intense the opposition was going tobe. Not on everything. Nobodyelse would have done the trade deals, that is to save American jobs. But they are not going to complain and massively resist on trade. They are not going to massively resist him on things like tax cuts. They are going to love for him to go to war, we have to try to resist him on that.
The one thing he will get massive resistance from every source in Washington including his own party is immigration.
What does your friend Matt Drudge think of all of this? Recently on Michael Savages radio show he seemed nervous about the Trump administration.
Ill let him speak for himself, but I think all of the Trump true believers are petrified.
