Donald Trump has just betrayed Ann Coulter. Which is a dangerous thing to do.

This week, Coulter released her new book, In Trump We Trust. As the title suggests, its a defense of Trump. But more than that, its a defense of Trumpism. Most Trump surrogates contort themselves to defend whatever The Donald says, no matter its ideological content. Theyre like communist party functionaries. They get word from the ideologists on high, and regurgitate it as best they can.

There's Simply No Equivalence

Coulter is different. Shes an ideologist herself. She realized the potency of the immigration issue among conservatives before Trump did. On June 1 of last year, she released Adios America, which devotes six chapters to the subject of immigrants and rape. Two weeks later, Trumphaving received an advanced copyfamously picked up the thread in his announcement speech.

Since then, theyve been allies. But unlike many Trump defenders, Coulter makes clear that her primary allegiance is not to Trump the man. Its to the nostalgic Make America White Again brand of conservatism that she began peddling even before he did. In In Trump We Trust, Coulter calls Trump a tasteless, publicity-seeking, coarse billionaire and argues that, the one thing voters werent wild about was his personality.

The secret of Trumps success, she argues, has been ideological. He recognized that Americans, by which she mostly means Republicans, are homesick. They dont just oppose immigration because they believe it depresses wages and strains government services. Theyre homesick for a whiter America, an America that was once truly free because its not in the Anglo-Saxon character either to take orders or to give them. (Never mind about slavery.) Since 1965, however, when Lyndon Johnson signed legislation allowing more immigration from Latin America, Asia, and Africa, the United States has been, according to Coulter in In Trump We Trust, overrun by illiterate peasants who can be instructed to learn certain symbols and bloc-vote for the Democrats. In response, Democrats, along with rich Republicans, keep the doors open to non-European immigration, and thus America has grown browner and shorter. (Thats Coulters description from Adios America). Corruption rises. So does terrorism and rape.

Coulters ideological interpretation of Trumps appeal is plausible. It explains, for instance, why support for Trump correlates more strongly to racial resentment than economic misfortune.

Trump may win votes by moderating his stance on immigration. But thats not how Coulter sells books.

Coulters problem is that on the very week shes unveiled her immigration-themed defense of Trumpism, Trump himself has begun jettisoning it. On Wednesday night, he admitted that its very, very hard to deport all the undocumented immigrants in the country and implied that he would be open to some people being allowed to stay legally without becoming citizens, provided they pay back taxes. Suddenly, Trump is flirting with an immigration policy that resembles that of every other Republican who ran for president. Which makes Coulter look like a dupe. On Thursday on his show, Rush Limbaugh had a hearty laugh at her expense.

So far, Coulter has responded in contradictory ways. Shes fired off tweets attacking Trumps immigration shift. But shes also downplayed it.

Maybe Coulter, like the other high-profile supporters Trump has burned, will accept her humiliation and resort to defending Trump no matter what he says. Her incentives, however, are different. Unlike most of the folks who appear on television supporting Trump, she has an independent brand. And its built on white nationalism. Trump may win votes by moderating his stance on immigration. But thats not how Coulter sells books.

Coulter also needs an explanation for Trumps likely defeat, an explanation that will preserve her ability to claim that Americas silent majority believes the things she does. By emphasizing Trumps immigration flip-flop, Coulter could argue that this issue cost him the white votes he needed to win.

Trumpisma brand of conservatism defined above all by white racial nostalgiawill survive Novembers election. Less clear is whether Trump will remain its champion or become its fall guy. Like many people Trump has done business with, Coulter has learned that trusting Trump is not the wisest of investments.

Ann Coulter's New Book, 'In Trump We Trust,' Comes Out Right ...

NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

Sunday, August 28, 2016, 10:06 AM

Rob Lowe wasnt the only one to take some major heat at the actor's Comedy Central roast on Saturday.

Outspoken political commentator Ann Coulter was barraged with cruel comments and at one point was even urged to commit suicide throughout the unbridled war of words, regularly becoming the focal point of the jaw-dropping TV special.

"Ann is one of the most repugnant, hateful, hatchet-face b-----s alive," Jimmy Carr, a British comedian, matter-of-factly proclaimed during the roast, according to Fox News. "It's not too late to change, Ann. You could kill yourself!"

Coulter, 54, was one of nine big-name participants who joined the panel to take shots at Lowe throughout the evening.

But the tides quickly turned on the often-controversial conservative analyst, who recently released a new politically charged book titled "In Trump We Trust."

"Ann Coulter has written 11 books, 12 if you count Mein Kampf," comic Nikki Glaser deadpanned, according to USA Today. "Ann, you're awful. The only person you will ever make happy is the Mexican who digs your grave."

Legendary NFL quarterback Peyton Manning, meanwhile, didn't hold back as he hurled a pointed insult at Coulter as well.

"As you all know, earlier this year, Ann Coulter won the Kentucky Derby," the two-time Super Bowl champion joked.

But Coulter seemed to take in in stride, while making it very clear why she agreed to be on the show despite not having a history in comedy.

"I'm only here for all the love and respect I have for Rob Lowe and all of the talented performers tonight," she announced with evident sarcasm. "It has nothing to do with the book I published four days ago."

Even with the ambush on Coulter, Lowe wasn't unable to escape the roast without getting hit with some serious disses as well.

Many of the digs centered on the actor's failed TV gigs, while others focused on his infamous sex tape with a 16-year-old early on in his career.

But Lowe remained a good sport throughout.

"There are other places to do soft jokes if you're on the Comedy Central Roast, you better bring your A-game," he said.

Lowe's roast airs on Sept. 5.

Ann Coulter gets obliterated at Rob Lowes Comedy Central ...

It was supposed to be a Comedy Central roast of Rob Lowe but that was before everyone found out that Ann Coulter was joining the dais Saturday. As a result, most of the nights best jokeswere directed at the conservative commentator, not the 52-year-old man-of-honor who looked rather neglected in his center stage chair.

Even Coulter couldnt help but call out the irony during the pre-taped event thatll air on Labor Day: I want to welcome everybody to the Ann Coulter roast with Rob Lowe.

Held on the Sony lot outside of Hollywood Saturday, the Lowe roast featured first-time participants like Peyton Manning, Jewel, Nikki Glaser, and Ralph Macchio, who (predictably) made fun of Lowes old sex tape and his myriad TV failures. But everyone Jeffrey Ross, Pete Davidson, British comedian Jimmy Carr, Rob Riggle and roastmaster David Spade, included saved their most viciously funny material for Coulter, who actually bombed when she finally took the mic (just to flash her latest book). Not that it mattered, really; she already got the spotlight.

Everyone is asking, why is Ann Coulter here tonight? said Lowe, who closed out his own special with a incredible set of killer yuks. Because the right-to-lifers wanted everyone to see what abortion looks like up close.

Oh, there were lots more Coulter cutdowns. Here are some of the best Coulter jokes and 13 about everybody else (even Lowe himself).

The Comedy Central Roast of Rob Lowe will air at 10 p.m. ET on Labor Day.

Ann Coulter: Rob Lowe roast hijacked by pundit | EW.com

On Saturday night, Comedy Central taped the Roast of Rob Lowe, and even though the actor experienced the brunt of the burns, Ann Coulter was targeted with some of the most brutal.

SNLs Pete Davidson went as far as referring to Coulter as a racist c**t, and comedian Jimmy Carr did not hold back, calling Coulter one of most repugnant, hateful, hatchet-face bitches alive.

Its not too late to change, Ann, said Carr. You could kill yourself!

Ouch!

Here are just a few of the other gems from the night:

If you are here, Ann, who is scaring the crows away from our crops? Pete Davidson of SNL

Ann, youre awful. The only person you will ever make happy is the Mexican who digs your grave. Comedian Nikki Glaser

She seems stiff and conservative, but Ann gets wild in the sheets. Just ask the Klan. Comedian David Spade

I do want to say as a feminist that I cant support everything thats been said tonight. But as someone who hates Ann Coulter, Im delighted. Singer/songwriter Jewel

I just realized that Im not the only athlete up here tonight. As you all know, earlier this year Ann Coulter won the Kentucky Derby. Former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning

Ann Coulter wants to help Trump make America great again. You can start by wearing a burka. Comedian Jeff Ross

She obviously knew this was going to happen, but that probably didnt make it any less enjoyable to watch.

Coulter was reportedly booed when trying to promote her new book and stumbled when the teleprompter apparently stopped working.

All in all, this sounds like its going to make for some magical TV viewing come air time.

Ann Coulter Is Singled Out And Mercilessly Destroyed At Rob ...

Liberals may die tonight because there are limited supplies of those injections they give you for acute schadenfreude toxicity. Ann Coulter has been Donald Trump's biggest New York City white nationalist supporter. She's transformed toadying into a militant act. Just today her new book In Trump We Trust was released, a genuflecting, tour de force of leader principle obsequiousness. As many have noted, in the book itself she writes that Trump can do anything, change his position on anything - none of it matters. She and they are that devoted. Everything except shift on immigration.

So today, the very day her book comes out he shambles his way to embracing the Rubio/Bush 'Amnesty' agenda he spent the last year railing against and using as a cudgel to destroy the Republican establishment's favored ones. She even had an opening book party hosted by Breitbart.

Already at the book party, photos snapped by Twitters journos showed a sad visage and perhaps a growing thunder ...

Here's the book ...

I've been waiting all evening to see whether she's muscle through at least the first day of the book tour without acknowledging Trump had dumped her whole agenda. It seems not. She just kicked off an epic rant on twitter.

It seems Coulter will be the Dylan Thomas of Trump Dignity Wraiths. She won't go gently in that good night.
