Two of Donald Trumps most high profile supporters may already be regretting their decision.

Both Ann Coulter and Sarah Palin criticized the president-elect on Friday, following months of staunchly supporting his election.

Sounds like the big sell-out is coming. Oh well. The voters did what we could, Coulter tweeted Friday. If Trump sells out, its not our fault.

Coulter appears to be angry over Trump backing off his campaign promise to build a wall around the United States as part of his immigration policy.

Instead, vice president-elect Mike Pence stated he and Speaker of the House Paul Ryan would be the ones spearheading immigration.

Coulter also expressed displeasure at Trumps pick of South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, a Republican who had publicly criticized Trump, as the next UN Ambassador.

After Nikki Haley, I expect @realDonaldTrumps next cabinet pick to be Obama, she said on Twitter. Both used State of Union address this year to attack Trump.

Meanwhile, Palin is mad about Trumps plan to keep air conditioning plant Carrier in the United States by giving the company a multimillion-dollar tax incentive.

When government steps in arbitrarily with individual subsidies, favoring one business over others, it sets inconsistent, unfair, illogical precedent, the former Alaska governor wrote in an op-ed on the website Young Conservatives.

Republicans oppose this, remember? she continued. Instead, we support competition on a level playing field, remember? Because we know special interest crony capitalism is one big fail.

Palin had been reported to be in consideration for an appointment as Secretary of Veteran Affairs though the timing of this op-ed may diminish her chances of joining the Trump administration.

Some Marvel movie heroes seem to think the biggest supervillain they face is President-elect Donald Trump. Here's a look at 12 stars of superhero films wholike him about as much as they like Doctor Doom.

Captain America himself, Chris Evans, denounced President-elect Trump on election night, tweeting, "This is an embarrassing night for America. We've let a hatemonger lead our great nation. We've let a bully set our course. I'm devastated."

The election was "a direct blow to the dreamers, to the empathizers, to those who dare to hope," wrote Brie Larson, who will star in "Captain Marvel,"in a piece she wrote for Lena Dunham's website,Lenny.

Larsonhas also shared anti-Trump posts calling for a recount, for electors to vote against Trump, and this one from the ACLUthat raise concerns over a Trump-run White House.

Mark Ruffalo plays The Hulk in the "Avengers" series, but offscreen he's a passionate activist who has been open about his disdain for Trump.

Ruffalo urged his Twitter followers to "keep your eye on the ball" when it comes to Trump, warning them not to get distracted by the president-elect's bombastic tweets.

Comic book creator Stan Lee, who famously appears in Marvel movie cameos, hasn't directly gone out against Trump, but did share "some thoughts on #respect for what feels like a troubled time" on Twitter.

New Zealander Taika Waititi, director of the upcoming "Thor: Ragnarok," shared his negative takeon the election results.

Coulter to the Bannon Haters: 'Screw You!'

Trump surrogate Ann Coulter published a series of tweets on Thursday fat shaming street protesters who continue to reject the results of the 2016 presidential election.

Since Trumps victory,protests have taken place in cities and on campuses across the country, some with flashes of violence. In Portland, about 4,000 protesters convened, shouting we reject the president-elect and vandalizing cars and buildings. Police responded with pepper spray and flash banging devices. And in Oakland, California, a few protesters hurled Molotov cocktails, rocks and fireworks at police, injuring three.

Coulters comments arent inciting the same violence seen from coast to coast, but they are evoking anger by fellow Tweeters:

Trump, for his part, has responded with two different tweets on the topic of the protesters. The first was a complaint accusing the protesters of being professionals -- he tweeted, Very unfair!

The next day, though, he was taking the high road, admiring the passion of the demonstrators.

Ann Coulter rarely rises to the level of deserving serious attention, and I am very open to the argument that this is not one of those moments. But a tweet she offered on Monday night, hours before Election Day polls opened across the country, offers some insight into the composition of the United States and into its history.

Also, it's gross and deserves to be identified as such.

Here's the tweet.

It took zero-point-zero seconds for people to note that Coulter's only-native-grandparents clause would leave out some prospective Donald Trump voters like Donald Trump. His mother was born in Britain, his grandfather in Germany (though the Trumps liked to tell people he was actually Swedish). So: no Donald Trump vote. That Trump's mother was born overseas means that none of his kids could vote either, if they were registered to. That Trump's first and third wives were also born overseas means that none of Trump's current grandchildren and none of young Barron Trump's eventual progeny would be allowed to vote.

In other words, in Donald Trump's immediate family, only Tiffany Trump's kids might be allowed to vote. An inauspicious start.

Melania Trump, wife of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, was accused of copying a phrase from Marla Maples, Trump's second wife, during a speech on Nov. 3 in Berwyn, Pa. (The Washington Post)

The Census Bureau tallies three generational groups in terms of nativity. First-generation Americans are those who were born elsewhere and now live in the United States. Second-generation Americans have one or both parents who are first generation. Third-generation (and up) Americans are those with two native-born American parents. That's as finely grained as we've got.

In 2013, the most recent year for which data is available, about three-quarters of Americans of voting age were third-generation or higher.

First-generation Americans were, at that time, the most likely to hold full-time employment.

And, significantly, they were more likely to live in urban areas than were third-generation Americans, who were the most likely to live outside metropolitan areas.

That last point overlaps with what we're talking about here. People that live in cities are more likely to vote Democratic than people who live in rural areas. Thereis pretty clearly a correlation between the nativity of people in America withboth political preference and with ethnicity. Pew Research broke down the correlation between nativity and race and ethnicity a few years ago.

Coulter's tweet should probably have just cut to the chase and said, Latinos shouldn't be allowed to vote. No one was fooled by her couching it in terms of grandparents, particularly because of the racial history of the grandfather clause in American politics.

That argument presented by Coulter was presented in Louisiana in the late 19th century as a way to restrict black voters. The state had existing poll taxes and literacy tests, used to weed out black voters. (Slate published one of those tests, used as late as the 1960s. The point is obviously to trip up prospective voters, not to evaluate their aptitude.) But Louisiana added an escape clause for white voters, allowing it to more directly target blacks. In 1898, it added this exception to the voting law:

No male person who was on January 1st, 1867, or at any date prior thereto, entitled to vote under the Constitution or statutes of any State of the United States, wherein he then resided, and no son or grandson of any such person not less than twenty-one years of age at the date of the adoption of this Constitution, and no male person of foreign birth, who was naturalized before the first day of January, 1898, shall be denied the right to register and vote in this State by reason of his failure to possess the educational or property qualifications prescribed by this Constitution ...

Note the bolded parts: If you could vote in 1867, or if your father or grandfather could, you don't have to pass the test or own property. In 1867, of course, black Louisianans couldn't vote.

At the core of Coulter's tweet is the idea that, somehow, those whohave been in the United States longer know or care more about the country. Well, no, it isn't. At the core of her tweet is that Coulter is annoyed that nonwhite voters are mostly not supporting her chosen candidate, and that a surge in the Hispanic vote could be the reason for his defeat.

She doesn't care if older-generation, more-likely-to-be-white Americans know more about the basic civics and history of the United States. Why do I say that? Well, in 2008, for example, Trump himself was asked what the 13 stripes on the flag represented, and drew a blank.

Of course, his mother was an immigrant, so I guess that sort of proves her point.

The conservative pundit tweeted that Trump would be president if only Americans whose grandparents were born in the U.S. could vote. USA TODAY NETWORK

In a perfect world, the presidency would be decided by Americans with all-American grandparents, and they would elect Donald Trump. At least, that seems to be conservative punditAnn Coulter's vision of a perfect world.

Coulter caught flack on Twitter by critics who called her racist and xenophobic. Or at least joking about it.

Some pointed out that Coulters tweet sounds similar to what Nazi Germany envisioned when the Nuremberg race laws were enacted in the Third Reich. In 1935, Nazisannounced the new laws stripping citizenship from Jews, or anyone with three or four Jewish grandparents, according to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum website. The law also banned Jews from marrying or having sexual relations from those identified as German.

Others noted that in such a case, even Trump wouldn't be allowed to vote. His mother is Scottish. Trump's children wouldn't be allowed to vote either as his ex-wife, Ivana, and his wife, Melania, are immigrants.

Last month, the hashtag #Repealthe19th started trending afterFiveThirtyEights editor-in-chief, Nate Silver, tweeted a map based on a poll showing Trump would win if only men voted in the 2016 election. The 19th, of course, referred to the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote.

The good news is Election Day is here, which means the election fatigue will soon end. In the meantime, indulge in some puppy therapy.
